- Abstract
The article presents a critique of the 19th-century English Gothic novel "Dracula," by Bram Stoker, focusing on its thematic conflation of women and wolves.

An analysis is then offered discussing the novel's social themes of suspicion and caution against women through the discourse of rabies management.
