I'm sure you're right that both played roles!

Three cheers for more folks reading (or listening to) the original text. I have a stash of literary criticism opinions about it (imperialism, prejudice, repression, gender, etc.), but I also have squeeing fangirl affection for the text exactly as Stoker believed he meant it to be. I imagine how downright terrifying it must have been, reading it when it was first published, and you don't know any of these tropes because they aren't yet tropes.
