This study explores a prospect of the new positions in the Victorian society in the late nineteenth century, which the New Man and the New Woman fulfill. It examines the characters of Jonathan and Mina Harker, who were willing to embrace the new century's progressive ideas and form a New Family order replacing the old suppressive Victorian traditions in the nineteenth century. It also addresses the similarity and difference between Dracula and Van Helsing contrasted as two sides of the same coin. In relation to gender roles, this study explores Jonathan's and Mina's attributes which cross over from their specifically traditional gender roles. Finally, it looks into Jonathan's anxiety and desire for sexually aggressive women, and his awareness of Dracula's sexual claims on him which seem to be at the foundation of the Victorian's anxiety about degeneration.
