Abstract	Dracula is a Gothic novel written by the Irish author Bram Stoker and published in 1897. Although it is not the first vampire novel, with his work, Bram Stoker sets the foundations for future vampire narratives, since many vampire features stem from the novel itself. Additionally, the novel uses the well-established Gothic features, such as the gloomy and sublime atmosphere, the mysterious and inexplicable occurrences covered by the veil of night, the encounters with unknown creatures, with which Stoker manages to awaken both horror and beauty in his readers. The plot revolves around the idea that the two worlds, the old, mysterious East driven by superstition and represented by Dracula, and the new world of the West which is marked by technological and scientific advancements, are going to clash with one another. Count Dracula's arrival in England endangers Victorian customs and beliefs. With the appearance of an outsider, a foreigner whose capabilities are unknown and inexplicable through science or reason, the idea of English superiority is threatened. This paper will focus on Dracula as the incomprehensible outsider who is persecuted because of the inability of the society to understand him. This paper is going to take a deeper look into the conflict between Dracula and the British society of the Victorian era.
