Using notions of J. Hillis Miller’s narrative repetition, this paper attempts to deconstruct the notion of monstrosity presented within Bram Stoker’s Dracula. By way of a multiplicity of narratives and monstrous descriptions, the character of Count Dracula is portrayed as a nefarious monster. However, by examining the repetitions of humanity that manifest within him and the other vampires conjointly with a dissection of the multiple narratives of human perspectives, the text manifests a reading that the true monstrosity is not that of the vampire, but rather that of human misogyny. This paper thus seeks to uncover the monstrous misogyny that is displaced onto the alterity of the vampire. The repetitions of narratives, rhetoric, and actions of the human characters leave Dracula as a shadowless and reflectionless displacement. If these narrative repetitions of monstrosity are traced, the vampire’s buried humanity and humanity’s buried monstrosity alight on the page.
Abstract
Using notions of J. Hillis Miller’s narrative repetition, this paper attempts to deconstruct the notion of monstrosity presented within Bram Stoker’s Dracula. By way of a multiplicity of narratives and monstrous descriptions, the character of Count Dracula is portrayed as a nefarious monster. However, by examining the repetitions of humanity that manifest within him and the other vampires conjointly with a dissection of the multiple narratives of human perspectives, the text manifests a reading that the true monstrosity is not that of the vampire, but rather that of human misogyny. This paper thus seeks to uncover the monstrous misogyny that is displaced onto the alterity of the vampire. The repetitions of narratives, rhetoric, and actions of the human characters leave Dracula as a shadowless and reflectionless displacement. If these narrative repetitions of monstrosity are traced, the vampire’s buried humanity and humanity’s buried monstrosity alight on the page.
