Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and Dracula by Bram Stoker Evil is present in both "Dracula" and "Frankenstein", but the personification of this evil is different in both novels . A feeling of menace and doom pervades "Dracula" due to his supernatural powers. He feels that he is in control of evil and that he has the power to manipulate the environment and people for his own ends. “Frankenstein” centers on the creation of a monster made from corpse parts and the fear created by the monster due to circumstances and society's ignorance. Furthermore, there is some apprehension that the monster will be abandoned by its creator and lose control without his support and guidance. The novels were written in the 19th century, "Frankenstein" was first published in 1818, and "Dracula" was first published. in 1897. There was a fanaticism with Gothic horror stories in this century and these novels reflect that. In the last century, a wide audience would have appreciated these novels, even if they are not great literary achievements, people of that period loved to read these types of stories, full of horror, suspense and intrigue. The very idea that such an evil and frightening creature could exist shocked and aroused the curiosity of many people at that time. The society of the last century was extremely corrupt and immoral, this is reflected in the novel "Frankenstein", in which an innocent creature is shunned by society due to its abnormal and somewhat shocking appearance. Nowadays, people are still drawn to fear, they have a curiosity about the supernatural, the evil and the scary. Although modern society is supposedly politically correct, we are still an immoral society and many of us would treat a creature like Frankenstein's creation or a vampire like Dracula as a monster. In this way, novels still have social meaning. The atmosphere of each novel plays a significant role in setting the scene for the evolution of horror that follows. The atmosphere in each novel is different; the horror in each novel is different. The fact that Frankenstein's monster kills out of revenge and anger is a form of evil, but one can understand and to some extent sympathize with his inability to reason from good to evil. Many examples of this inability are shown, for example, the creature strangles Frankenstein's innocent young brother because he cannot stay under... middle of paper... although his downfall comes because he has limitations, such as: "the its power ceases, like that of all evils, at the advent of the day.”… “Then there are things that afflict him so much that they have no power, such as the garlic we know, and as for sacred things, my crucifix...” These reassure that there is a means to destroy Dracula. 'Frankenstein' didn't scare me at all, I simply found it to be a very tragic story that demonstrates both the corruption of an innocent being by an immoral society. and the dangers of playing God with science. Frankenstein was responsible for the creature and as soon as it showed signs of life, instead of abandoning it out of fear and embarrassment at the creature's ugliness, he should have taught it good from evil and accepted it as a person. , not a monster. Any brutality in "Frankenstein" was due to Victor Frankenstein himself and not his monster. "Dracula" is a novel that deeply investigates people's superstitions, fears and beliefs of the supernatural. The creature Dracula is an evil being who does not care about others, kills for his own ends and cannot be stopped, and this is what makes 'Dracula' truly scary.
