Bram Stoker’s Dracula shows a great work of old criticism, which means that “the writer provides you with necessary background information you need to know before you could fully appreciate the separate world of art” (pg 503). The example of old criticism is shown broadly in Stoker’s Dracula.
Also, according to Foucault “related reason for keeping prisoners alive, punishment indoor & changing discipline from physical torture into mental rehabilitation: colonization” (pg 505), relates widely in context with Bram Stoker’s Dracula, in which Dr. Seward was approving all the demands of his patient and prisoner named Renfield, whom later Dr. Seward started calling zoophagous because of his violent behavior with the pets he had. Dr. Seward did not kill Renfield or give him a death-sentence but kept him in the prison and instead of torturing him; Dr. Seward observed him and gave him the opportunity to rehabilitate.

This post touched upon very important ideas in this novel such as imprisonment and historical background. Stoker does an amazing job at turning the novel into a diary which gives its readers a first hand look into this past world.
