Dracula Supernatural being!

Well if you look at the history of mythical creatures called "Vampires" supernatural beings believed since biblicohl times, they are the "living dead." They live off the blood of other creatures, the are repulsed away by garlic ex. Van Helsing put garlic around Lucy while her transformation to a vamiprus is beging. Also anytime today we hear vampire we think they turn into a bat and they can't come into ou house unless invited, or they sleep in coffins, or they SPARKLE in sunlight (Probally the most stupid thing I ever heard of." But yes Dracula does all the vampire abilites except the sparkle part. But the author of "Dracula," Bram Stroker put his abilites in a such dark but inticing way, thus Gothic literature. Even though my group has a fear for Dracula we also are drawn to him like a moth to a light. Think about Stroker describes dracula to be handsome and he gaze to be so beautiful it puts you into a trance. To me that is more frightening then anything because as huans we are drawn to beauty. To me Dracula has one the most amazing supernatural powers in any novel for in fact he like a supernatural being there really isn't any human about him. Now question for this post if you could have any of Dracula's supernatural power what would it be and why?

  1. i think it is frightening that we as humans are attracted to beautiful beings. I think if Dracula were a more repulsive being, less people would be in dangerous situations and they'd be more cautious to listen to warnings about Dracula. If i had one of Draculas powers, it would be like to have the strength of twenty mean. it'd be pretty cool(:

Its kind of like when you go to the movies and you yell at the screan at the screen to tell the blonde girl "dont go in the basement" but then she does anyway, and you wonder why she did it?!,,its kind of like that:)
