I don't understand the problem people have with rewrites of Dracula that humanize him. Yes, Dracula in the original book is a pure representation of evil. But like Carmilla he is a fictional and almost mythological figure at this stage who evolves with the times. The myth of the vampire has changed, so it is logical that Dracula himself follows this model. The book will still exist, so what's the problem ? The same goes for offering him a romance, whether or not it is with a rewriting of the character of Mina or an another invented female character, or sometimes a woman linked to the Van helsing lineage, or even Van helsing changed directly into a woman !

Even Jonathan himself for exemple in order to explore a homosexuality or bisexuality in the story of Dracula ! Strangely I always see fewer people revolting when Jonathan is placed as a romantic interest. I totally see where that's coming from, but the fact is that their relationship isn't good in the original material either.

As for the problem of Mina, a strong female character, apparently having her strong characteristics erased when she is made Dracula's lover... I don't agree.

After all, it all depends on how the thing is done. Yes, the Mina from the 1992 film is not the one from the book (which is far from being a flawless representation of a strong woman... Yes, for the time when the book was released, it works, but in our time modern era, there are flaws apparently, as with most works dating back a certain number of years), but she still remains a strong female character in her own way and morally ambiguous in this adaptation. It's just a different version. I particularly liked the version of Mina in the canceled series of 2013. These 3 versions of Mina are all strong women on different levels.

Don't make me say what I didn't say. I love the original version of Dracula, and I really hope one day to have a more or less faithful adaptation, but the rewritings of the characters of Dracula and Mina are not to be demonized. I also think that we will surely continue in the future to have versions where Mina and Dracula are associated together as lovers, as other times not. Maybe one day we'll even have a version with Dracula and Jonathan officially partnered as lovers. Who knows ? And everything will simply depend on the writing of the characters. On the other hand, yes, I am a little exasperated by the tendency to make Jonathan a character either bland or an asshole in certain adaptations. Give me the adorable Harker from the book for a change please... Anyway, these are my thoughts on the various adaptations of the Dracula myth !

Mina’s love language is touch

Mina holding Lucy’s hand throughout the first part of the hospital scene, before Lucy’s mea culpa.

Lucy pulls away almost immediately but Mina is insistent. She wanted her ‘friend’ back 😭

The way Mina looks at and cares for Lucy makes it hard for me to stay angry at her. She broke my poor Lucy’s heart but I know she loves her just as I do.

Also Jonathan can go to hell, that was literally textbook fawning. She was terrified and he without a word backed her into a wall, pushed her up against it and forcefully kissed her. And poor Lucy blamed herself, like so many victims do 😭😭😭😭

Currently watching Dracula 2013, I will give more thoughts when done but so far…

Johnathan is a total asshole and one conversation won’t fix him

Renfield is literally the best, he deserves better

Jane is a bitch but I probably only hate for one particular thing

Lucy broke my heart, or maybe Mina did

I don’t get some of the business stuff, give more screen time to the drama

(faceclaim: Carmilla from Carmilla 2014 portrayed by Natasha Negovanlis)

Originally, I named this character Carmilla Karnstein Dracula, named after the original Carmilla, with the above character/actor as a faceclaim, but I am no longer feeling it. So this character is getting a name change. This is just one of the few changes I'm making to my character list. So, what should her new name be?

Let's be clear. The 1992 Mina is different from the original Mina in the book, but she still follows the line of strong female character, albeit in a different way.

On the other hand, I'm going to immediately stop people's excuses about "She loves Dracula who raped and killed Lucy ?! How could she be a strong woman ?! She is definitely not !" So... it's just called being morally ambiguous. Mina herself recognizes in the story how awful it is !

Dracula is a monster in this film and that is never denied. We simply also give the monster more human aspects, with also a rather ambiguous statement on religion. But that's not the point, let's get back to Mina.

Honnestly, I think what also bothers many people in this adaptation is that Mina is not an irreproachable virtuous woman. Well yes, we cannot say that Mina accepting her love for a merciless killer and rapist of her best friend is very moral. It's the point. However, she is still aware that it is bad. She recognizes it.

On the other hand, I find it crazy that people, just because of this aspect, and because she is very different from the Mina of the book, this version of Mina is not a woman with strong aspects in her own way. It is, just in another, more discreet way.

Particularly through sexual liberation / taking charge of one's own sexuality. Seriously. I never see anyone talking about the fact that Mina clearly represents active and liberating sexuality in this adaptation. All that with a morally ambiguous ending since in the final ending of the film, Mina does not join anyone and remains alone, whereas the first alternative version had her return to her role as Harker's wife. But instead I just simply see that she is reduced to an uninteresting romantic interest. Isn't it rather you who reduces his character to that in fact ?

Mina in the NBC series version is also decreed as incapable of being a strong woman simply because she is also Dracula's lost love. Except... it's a bit sexist to say that in a rewriting of the Dracula myth, Mina loses any possibility of being a feminist female character if she becomes Dracula's lover ? This is completely stupid. Simply because it's another version ?!

Also, I hope that if you like Mina, you will also tolerate the versions where she is not married to Jonathan ?

And if you find the 1992 version of Mina revolting, well I don't dare imagine what you must think of the one in the 1931 adaptation where she appears ? Or there she is simply characterized as a weak and unconscious victim...

Oh my gosh. So I never watched either the Dracula 2020 show or the 2013 and only just now, this second, figured out they were two separate shows 😅😅😅😅😅

I'd only ever seen gifs of both (mostly of Katie Mcgrath) and was desperately trying to work out how Jonathan was alive later on because apparently Dracula kills him in the first episode?

Also could not figure out what time period this was supposed to be and now a heck of a lot more things make a lot more sense knowing these are ,in fact, two separate shows , both of which I still have no desire to see 😅😅😅😅😅

#dracula 2013 #dracula 2020 #katie mcgrath #like really i swear thats the only part of the show ive seen people gif and like #Understandable #dracula
