How is Dracula a novel of the new mass culture that appeared in Europe in the latter half of the nineteenth century?

This week’s forum is going to be mostly centered around helping you refine ideas for your paper, so the questions this week may look a little different than they do in other weeks. 1. What is the role of women in Dracula? 2. How is Dracula a novel of the new mass culture that appeared in Europe in the latter half of the nineteenth century? In other words: why is it that Dracula is published when it is (1897), and how does it reflect the changes that Western Europe is undergoing at that time? 3. What are some of the major themes of Dracula? How does Stoker use these themes in his novel? 4. How does technology play a role in Dracula? What sort of technologies are used by the characters of the novel? Were any technological devices surprising?
