영문 초록

Dracula has been reproduced for more than 100 years because this myth threatens people’s sense of security. The image of Dracula has changed in line with varying industrial periods. Early images portray evil monsters that threaten society, especially women. However, in the late 20th century, Dracula reflects that of societal outcast. Now, it has a godlike image with power and abilities beyond that of human. In the 21st century, people begin to consider the possibility of immortal life with the aid of genetic engineering. As Yuval Harari mentioned, only rich people could afford this expensive technology. A small number of superior individuals might become dominant and treat others like slaves. This is a new type of Gothic story where Dracula is a representation of a minor powerful post-human. Mighty and immortal capitalists like Dracula could exploit people as long as they don’t see the equality between the mortal and the immortal. This kind of discrimination is rooted in capitalism and ontology. When Dracula is depicted as a monster, his existence is rejected. However, once future Draculas prevail, they might dismiss basic human dignity. Escaping from human-centered philosophy can be the answer for the otherness issue, extending the range of life forms defined as humankind and including monsters in it.
