Through an examination of Bram Stoker's novel Dracula along with Jonathan Demme's movie Silence of the Lambs, '' there's an investigation into how the qualities of the vampire illustrate fear and how this shapes the manner in which society reacts to it. This is achieved through a feminist reading of the overt sexuality that accompanies the vampire coupled using a psychoanalytical reading of psychological acuity. Dracula and Silence of the lambs both evidently belong to the ancient horror genre due to their association with the disruption and transgression of both psychic and social constraints within their societies. Dracula could be read as a publication of inverse colonisation, describing the civilised world-facing invasion by the vampire's primitive force; late Victorian society sees it's own imperial practise emulated back in form. Contemporary society overindulging in its own usage of this vampire has created it as extraneous, making a reduced impact of revulsion and fear towards the vampire and thus a devalued result from the reaction of society. Silence of the lambs can be viewed as an updated narrative of inverse consumerism since Hannibal's "compulsion to feed on humans" is a reflection of this monstrously exaggerated culture of the 20th century. Therefore these examples reveal the way the qualities of the vampire attest fear and how this shapes the manner in which society responds to it. Through a feminist reading of Bram stoker's book Dracula, there is evaluation into the alluring power of the vampire that communicates their overt sexuality. That is a facet of this vampire, which generates a "heavily desired and both strongly feared dream" (Glennis Byron, 1996) within the society of the Victorian era. Harker's coming by three orgasmic. .
