“Dracula’s Guest” and Dracula.

Q: Compare the chapter “Dracula’s Guest” with the published version of Stoker’s work. What is similar to Dracula? What is different? What elements of the Gothic genre can be found in this piece? Is it better or worse than the published version? Explain.

A: okay, so who is Dracula’s Guest? Well, that won’t really be a good answer to this question haha. Well,  the movie Dracula actually very different from the book Dracula. And by the way I think the Dracula’s guest is Renfield. The movie and the book I think had all the Gothic elements but it seemed that the purpose of Renfield was quite different. He is portrayed to be a landlord or something and becomes crazy and now Johnathan is replacing for him. But it all depends on your movie taste, because I thought it was, no offense, very pathetic. I mean obviously the movie version is much shorter and less detailed. But what can you say. It is a movie. A rather cliche one.
