Evidence

Each of Dracula’s races contributes to his monstrosity, albeit in different ways. His Semitic qualities reveal his Jewish identity. The book, “with its bloodsucking, gold-grubbing, hooked-nose monster, shows that Dracula is a clearly anti-Semitic text.” The count is a Jewish monster. — Sophia Rose Arjana, Muslims in the Western Imagination, 524

Categorization
