I like the way the creators have re imagined Dracula as a character. I'm familiar enough with the novel to know that Stoker wrote him as the epitome of sin. He had no soul, and lived only to kill and have sex. (Possible spoilers)This Dracula, while still lacking a soul, remembers his human life and what brought him to his afterlife as a vampire and he hates it, or at least hates the people that brought him to his current state. It's also refreshing to see a modern vampire in love, but doing everything he can to make sure the object of his affections doesn't know and focuses her feelings on someone as human as herself. This Dracula may feel, but he has lost none of the traits Stoker gave him that made him evil. It's fascinating to watch if one acknowledges it as a re imagining and ceases to expect it to be just like Stoker's original story.
