#i love dracula daily i really do
#i think its a wonderful reimagining of the epistolary form
#and its great that so many people have signed up to read an old classic
#but at the same time its also a bit of a... missed opportunity i guess?
#considering some of the themes in the text
#like we all know tumblr isnt very good with nuance
#and this whole idea of presenting an important work in ''small digestible chunks'' would really benefit from annotations and commentary
#of some kind
#also a lot of people seem to be unaware of the fact
#that stoker's original narrative wasn't strictly linear
#its not super disjointed but especially the first few chapters are not told in chronological order
#so even though the text of individual letters and diary entries remains unchanged.. it's still a significant alteration
#like.. this is very much a new edition
#unauthorized by stoker obviously fkkdkg
#im curious to see how the chronological order changes the experience tbh
#anyway i saw a post earlier expressing hope that this project will encourage critical discussions
#but that's exactly the problem
#its not a critical reading of dracula
#no context no theory no framework
#its more of a book club. and that's great when you're reading for fun but this is a 125 year old text
#that offers plenty to get upset about
#the question is not if but when the first no nuance november tumblrinas are gonna realize that its problematic(TM)
#*cough* renfield *cough*
#theres one actual dracula scholar on here who's answering asks and posting tirelessly to offer some critical guidance and that's wonderful
#but im still dreading the hot takes that are to come
#anyway i dont wanna be a party pooper its still an awesome project
#but yeah. like i said it seems like a missed opportunity
#and judging by the number of posts that are calling this a tumblr university class im guessing that theres quite a bit of interest
#in critical analysis
