dc.description.abstractBram Stoker’s Dracula has been reimagined countless times since the novel’s publication in 1897. The narrative and the iconic vampire which led to the creation of others is regarded by many as erotically charged. Queer readings have shown that Dracula is homoerotic in nature due to the many analogies the novel contains, which may or may not have been carried over to its audio-visual interpretations. Its latest adaptation by Netflix and the BBC was made in a time where perception of the vampire and homosexuality are viewed very differently from the Victorian era and even the twentieth century. These factors influence Netflix’s Dracula (2020) in how homoerotic desire is portrayed, and the adaptation itself shows that the vampire is still erotically charged, yet undergoing a sexual identity crisis.en_US
