Dracula's attack on London
Around 1897, there was a great fear in England’s citizens of a foreign invasion, with US and Germany’s rise to power, Britain’s position as one of the greatest powers was crumbling. Stephen Arata in his article, the occidental tourist says that Dracula’s attack on London is a symbolization of this fear. Many writers at the time incorporated this fear in their writings, with Dracula’s defeat symbolizing the hope that Britain’s position would remain the same, without any invasion from any foreign countries.
