Unit 7 Lesson Review
1. Why would killing Lucy, Mina, or any other vampire have been considered a merciful act of euthanasia?
They are becoming monsters and they wouldn't want to hurt anyone. By killing them, you are putting them out of their misery. Euthanasia is merciful killing. By killing a vampire, you are not only preventing them being miserable because of what they become and preventing their future victims from misery.
2. Explain the difference between physiognomy and phrenology.
Physiognomy is the practice of determining a persons characteristics by their facial structure. Phrenology is the practice of determining a persons characteristics based on the amount of space they have in certain parts of their brain.
3. How does the poem “Totentanz” represent the recurring theme in Goethe’s works, that mankind should not meddle with the activities of the supernatural? (What happens to the man in the poem?)
The warder picks up one of the skeletons shrouds and so that skeleton does not go back in the grave like the others. The skeleton chases him up to the bell tower and just as he was about to kill him, god saved the warder. The skeleton crashes down into pieces.
4. Which vampire hunter has died during the mission to kill the Count? How do Jonathan and Mina honor this deceased character?
Quincy was very injured and died. He lived long enough to see Dracula live, though. Jonathan and Mina honors Quincys death by naming their son Quincy.
5. What do you think a man should look like, sound like, and behave like if he is going to play the role of Count Dracula in a film or a play?

    These women can suddenly take the male prerogative to instate an encounter that is inherently sexual, and penetrate their victim (with their fangs). This destabilisation of gender roles is not limited to female people receiving phallic symbols however; the vampire itself completely reverses the stereotypical roles of men and women in the Gothic story. The women become predators, dangerous creatures to be hunted and feared; the men are the prey and they crack under the pressure and become hysterical on several occasions, the “stalwart manhood seemed to have shrunk somewhat under the strain of his much tired emotions” [Stoker, p.181]. After Lucy is killed, Dr. Seward must comfort Arthur Holmwood in the funeral parlour when he “suddenly [breaks] down, and threw his arms round my shoulders and laid his head on my breast, crying,” [Stoker, p.181]. Whereas when Mina is told of Lucy’s death, she shows “courage and resolution in her bearing” [Stoker, p.240], and is determined to tell the full story of their fight against Dracula, even if recording the death of her friend upsets…

    Dracula seems to possess unexplainable supernatural powers. When Jonathan Harker is traveling to castle Dracula, he is unaware that the driver of his coach is the Count himself. During the nocturnal journey, the coach is circled by wolves, not knowing what to do Jonathan calls for the coachman and in return "heard his [Dracula 's] voice raised in a tone of imperious command, and looking towards the sound saw him stand in the roadway. As he swept his long arm, as though brushing aside some impalpable obstacle, the wolves fell back and back further still" (23). This unnatural power over the wolves is Stoker 's first way of showing Dracula 's power over nature. Harker also describes in his journal that one evening "I saw the whole man slowly emerge from the window and begin to crawl down the castle wall over that dreadful abyss, face down with his cloak spreading out around him like great wings… I saw the fingers and toes grasp the corners of the stones… and inequality move downwards with considerable speed, just as a lizard moves along a wall" (43). This transformation of Dracula, shows that clearly he is something more powerful than man. Finally, after the Count bites Mina, the band of men are able to hunt down the Count by hypnotizing Mina. She has a mental connection with Dracula, and is able to sense his surroundings, even when he is far away. Also, Dracula has power over Renfield, and lunatic-asylum patient. Renfield serves as a prophet and henchman for Dracula. Through the mental connection with Mina and Renfield, Dracula 's power to read…

    • 3 Pages

    Vampires and werewolves are both mythical beings created in the ancient times but have now become exceedingly popular in today’s day and age. This is because of the numerous novels, television shows and movies about them. Both, vampires and werewolves are creatures of darkness. People associate them with bloodshed and murder. Both vampires and werewolves kill human beings for their survival. Vampires drink human blood and werewolves eat human flesh to survive. Vampires and werewolves are super strong and super-fast. You cannot run from them because they are faster than you and you cannot hide from them because they can probably smell you out. Apart from this vampires and werewolves cannot be killed easily. They recover from any injury within seconds. But like all other creatures they have their own weaknesses. Vampires can be slowed down with an herb called vervain and for werewolves it is wolfsbane. A wooden stake in the heart will kill a vampire and a silver bullet to the heart will kill werewolf.…

    The characters in “Dracula” tend to reflect the moral codes of the Victorian era. The antagonists are the embodiment of the behaviors considered unpropitious in the era that “Dracula” was composed in, such as the overly sexual female vampires that try to prey on Jonathon Harker. They were very forward in their approach to Jonathon, though in Victorian Society it was considered wrong for a female to be anything but demure and virtuous. Their…

    From the beginning of time, like I mentioned in my previous paragraph, indigenous tribes were practicing euthanasia far before ethics and laws were prominent in the world. For these tribes, euthanasia was used for a number of reasons such as, population control during times of hunger and famine, as well as for the terminally ill as a mercy act. Today, euthanasia is still used as a form of mercy for the terminally ill that are going to spend the rest of their life suffering until they eventually die a slow, painful death. Although euthanasia is mainly frowned upon and discouraged in Western medicine, there are still countries that have laws set in place for the people who wish to pursue their own death.…

    The first reason is that euthanasia helps end patient’s unbearable suffering. The terminally ill patients are usually in great pain that cannot be eliminated. They most likely are not going to recovered. Some have to depend on life-support machines; some cannot breathe without a machine; some have to be tube-food; some require a high dose of medicine or is given injections everyday. Moreover, patients who have brain diseases such as terminal brain cancer or inflammation in the brain or brain death are more dead than alive and will never be better. The following case is an example of voluntary euthanasia. Mary F. was dying from a progressively debilitating disease. She had reached the stage where she was almost totally paralyzed and, periodically, needed a respirator to keep her alive. She was suffering considerable amount of distress. Knowing that there was no hope and that things would only get worse, Mary F. wanted to die. She asked her doctor to give her a lethal injection to end her life. After consulting with her family and members of the healthcare team, Dr H. administered the asked-for lethal injection,…

    The purpose of this papers it to give general information about the author, Wolfgang von Goethe, and introduce as well as analyze the main character of one of his most influential works: The Sorrows of Young Werther. The protagonist of this series of confessional letters, Werther, is in fact a tragic figure who committed suicide as a result of his loneliness and critical approach to society, as well as his obsession for a woman, Lotte, whom he could not eventually conquest. Wolfgang von Goethe was a German poet, as well as dramatist, novelist, and scientist who lived between 1749 and 1832. Goethe's poetry expresses a modern, and revolutionary view of humanity's relationship to nature, history, and society; his plays and novels reflect a deep understanding of human individuality. According to the 19th-century English critic Matthew Arnold, Goethe must be considered not only “the manifest centre of German literature” but also one of the most multitalented figures in the entire world of literature. Goethe was born on August 28, 1749, in Frankfurt am Main, as a son of a government official. From 1765 to 1768 he studied law at Leipzig; there he first developed an interest in literature and painting and became acquainted with the dramatic works of his contemporaries Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock and Gotthold Ephraim Lessing. Their influence and his own connection to the daughter of a wine merchant at whose tavern he dined are reflected in his earliest poetry and in his first dramatic works. These early plays included a one-act comedy in verse, Die Laune des Verliebten (The Lover's Caprice, 1767), and a tragedy in verse, Die Mitschuldigen (The Fellow-Culprits, 1768). Goethe's health broke down in Leipzig and he returned to Frankfurt, where, during his recuperation, he studied occult philosophy, astrology, and alchemy. Through the influence of a friend of his mother, Susanne Katharina von Klettenberg, who was a member of the Lutheran reform movement known as Pietism, Goethe…
