April 26, 200719 yr We read Dracula in my futuristic lit class and we had to choose a theme to write our paper on so I chose East Vs West because I thought it was the second most pronounced theme outside good vs evil (and everybody's doing good vs evil so if I don't do good, he'll be able to tell more :D ). Anyways, i'm having trouble finding some good resources to help base my report on. Google who has never let me down hasn't really yielded any great information on the differences between eastern and western Europe, and if it does it either a) takes place post WWII (after Dracula was written, so not valuable) or B) makes it too broad and includes Americas etc etc. When he was reviewing some of the main concepts he talked about how the Eastern world was extremely superstitious (as can easily be identified in the book) compared to the much more fact based western world (because no matter how strange things were, Jonathon could not believe that Count Dracula was a vampire). Anyways, any resources will be greatly appreciated as well as opinions if you have any. ~ Steven
