Summary
The essay I wrote as my final research paper, a girlhood in literature course. It is full of many quotes, both from the book and from research papers, if you're interested in seeing what others have written about Dracula over the years!
Published in 1897 by Bram Stoker, Dracula explores the evolution of girlhood to womanhood under Victorian notions of purity. It portrays and celebrates young girls as virtuous and frequently maternal figures, and focuses on trauma such as illness and sexual assault. Mina and Lucy embody girlhood by being good and kind, but by the end, we see girlhood as an inevitable phase that must conclude, even at the expense of Victorian innocence.
