Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to examine the interconnection between reality and fiction in Bram Stoker’s Dracula and the way the novel symbolically reflects the reality of its time. It shall start with the examination of the historical and geographical inspirations that Stoker used while writing the story, as well as the real places and events that are directly mentioned in the novel. Then, in the second section, Stoker’s literary influences will be explored – the myth of the Vampire, as well as the Western fiction that popularized the said myth in the United Kingdom. This will conclude the portion of the paper that focuses on the literal nonfictional elements present in the novel. Before moving on to the allegorical interpretation of the novel, I shall briefly introduce the social and political circumstance in the latter half of the Victorian era. This will place the novel in a historical context necessary for the following sections, the first of which will focus on how the narrative of Dracula reflects the late-Victorian anxieties about the advancement of science and technology. The following section will discuss how the Victorian fears of degeneration and collapse of their society due to foreign invaders are represented in the novel. These allegories are connected because they are both rooted in prejudice and the fear of the unknown.
