In all honesty, if you want good 19th century horror-fiction you're better off with Shelley´s Frankenstein. It explores so many themes like revenge, man vs. the nature of man, man playing god, nature vs. nurture etc. But most of all and what's growing increasingly more relevent is that it is, to my knowledge, the first instance of the the exploration of the dangers of artificial intelligence. Sorry, I always have to shill Frankenstein.

Dracula is anti-Christian propaganda

I'm reading it right now. Jonathan's Journal was good and then it plummeted afterwards.
>Muh Lucy is sick wahhh
Goes on for way too long. It's getting better now that they're hunting Dracula.

It became boring as fuck after the castle section. Jesus Christ Victorian novelists barely fave a fuck.

And I think literary theory is bullshit but the actions of Dracula only make sense if the book is written as an allegory of immigrants fucking our women and buying our property.

I hope you are wrong, but you're probably right.

>it became boring as fuck after the castle section
Absolutely correct. There's hardly anything to keep the reader's attention plot, prose, or characterization wise for the majority of the book. It's all filler between the end of the castle section to the last few pages.
