From Monstrous to Idealized: The Evolution of Vampire Physical Masculinity in Dracaula, Interview With The Vampire, and Twilight-Artikel (Tersedia PDF)
This study examines the evolution of vampire physical masculinity in three novels from different periods: Dracula (1897) by Bram Stoker, Interview with the Vampire (1976) by Anne Rice, and Twilight (2005) by Stephenie Meyer. It explores how representations of the vampire body transform from monstrous and intimidating to humanized and idealized, reflecting broader cultural shifts in the construction of masculinity. Using the theoretical framework of feminist masculinity, this research analyzes how changing portrayals of male vampires mirror shifting social attitudes toward male strength, beauty, and emotional expression. The findings reveal that masculinity in vampire fiction evolves from dominance and fear in Dracula, to introspection and sensitivity in Interview with the Vampire, and ultimately to romanticized perfection in Twilight. This transformation demonstrates how the vampire figure continues to adapt to contemporary ideals of gender, power, and desire.
