* When first watching the movie, one might assume that Dracula is a standard overprotective father and the fear-mongering of humans is just a mix of boogieman-type tales and stories of angry mobs, maybe even a bit of personal experience with them. Humans are certainly built up as a sort of generic enemy that all monsters just fear out of misplaced information and past history of intolerance. Then, in a very gut-wrenching scene, we find out the truth. Dracula has a reason for what he does, and it's a damn good one. His wife was mercilessly killed by a mob, and he feels the sting of that loss to this day. It is no wonder Dracula proclaims an image of the monster-killing humans. He himself saw the heart of darkness and just what damage humans are capable of!
