DRACULA as Interpreted by Matt C.

In Bram Stoker's Dracula, the character of Count Dracula, is obsessive with life.On pg 215 of Dracula, he states "The girls that you love are mine already...you and others shall be mine, my creatures to do my bidding....when I ant to feed..."(Stoker 215). Dracula needs blood to live, and without it he will die. Dracula has been at this for centuries, and in the novel, he lives off the live force and blood of Lucy Westenra and later on, Mina Harker. He continually preys on these women. He may even love these women, however in the novel, it is not clear as to whether he is using them to live or he actually loves them. Unlike his relationship with Lucy, Dracula forms as strong bond with Mina, even linking their minds by making her drink his blood from a gash in his chest. Through the book, Dracula constantly preys on children (as does Lucy, once she becomes an Un-dead). In his castle, he dons the clothing of Jonathan Harker and kidnaps children to feast on their blood. As a character, he has no problem with attacking them and feasting on their blood so he can live.
I think someone who uses steroids or enhancers are modern day people who fight for life at all costs. They are obsessed with just becoming better and being more competitive that they take competition to the next level. they are just so focused on winning that they forget about rules and other people
