I remember from Fresh. Lit. that the "eroticism" of Bram Stoker's vampire was allowed in a "monster", but not in a person. Mina was "allowed" to feel lust for Dracula because he was an evil creature, the undead, and had power over her mind. Mina would NEVER feel lust towards Jonathan, as proper a Victorian Woman, didn't have lustful thoughts for anyone.

Silly...
