This thesis aims to find out the possibility of “doubles”, as opposed to a double in Bram Stoker’s Dracula, by examining the relationships between Dracula and other characters. Though there have been many research studies focusing on a double as one of the traditional themes in the English Literature studies, the existing achievements differ from the various and multiple doubles. By studying “the self” and “the other”, which has been the main topic of many critics, this thesis offers a new perspective; doubles being piled up one on another based on monstrosity. The doubles motif could be found in Dracula, since Dracula as a lifeless thing with an over all monstrosity is sharing his monstrosity with other many characters in the work. He maneuvers his own huge and creative power into others drop by drop, and they have something in common in regards to the monstrous aspect. Dracula resembles others. The continuous appearance of doubles with Dracula reminds those who living in the present that the possibility of a text such as Dracula can erase or demolish the binary pairs and the boundaries in the world. While the world has been under the control of philosophy of the enlightenment since the nineteenth century, the power that enables us to demolish the sameness, the single perspective has existed at the same time. As Dracula has been described using the concept of the “otherness” continuously beyond the nineteenth century, it has successfully acquired strong contemporary significance in English literature. However, Count Dracula is whispering to us that we should reveal our monstrosity and keep on living as his doubles instead of being content with enlightening rationalism. Form this perspective, Dracula comes to reach a new potential as a countercurrent possibility unrelated to an era. Therefore, this study rescues Dracula from its unkind treatment as a popular novel.

By studying “the self” and “the other”, which has been the main topic of many critics, this thesis offers a new perspective; doubles being piled up one on another based on monstrosity. The doubles motif could be found in Dracula, since Dracula as a lifeless thing with an over all monstrosity is sharing his monstrosity with other many characters in the work. He maneuvers his own huge and creative power into others drop by drop, and they have something in common in regards to the monstrous aspect. Dracula resembles others.
