Common Themes in The Lost Boys, Dracula and Peter-Pan In The Lost Boys, there are similar occurrences and references to the two Dracula novels, by Bram Stoker and Peter Pan, by Sir James Barrie. There are many similarities between the three scenarios. In the stories of the three works, there is a common thread: it all started with Dracula. The story of Dracula has many elements used in the film The Lost Boys. The comparison begins with the vampire. Dracula is centered around the main vampire, Dracula. Dracula has many powers and means of altering reality. In the novel Dracula by Bram Stoker, we see that there is a power struggle. In all the universe, no being has complete control over another. In Dracula, God, Dracula, nature, and humanity exercise some form of domination over another, whether it is direct control or an instrument through which another is to exercise power. In this article we will look at the different ways control and power are used. Here are some of the vampire's many powers: he can turn humans into undead, he is practically immortal, he has the ability to rejuvenate by drinking blood, he casts no shadows, he casts no reflections, he has the ability to crawl along walls, he has the ability to control animals, he can control the weather and he also has the power to transform his own form. Here we can see these powers. Dracula can turn humans into undead. One example is the three women he transformed into vampires, creatures of the night. Renfield desires to become a creature of the night. He considers Dracula his master and only seeks to serve him. Lucy is transformed into a vampire by Dracula. However, the most memorable person he gave birth to... middle of paper... and chaos. The boys in Peter Pan exhibit the same traits. They are all young and wild. The Lost Boys' carnival is the equivalent of Peter Pan's Neverland. It contains everything that children want, admire and love.
