Who knows well and loves the Bram novel Dracula? Kate has to write a paper, due Tuesday, about the relationships between characters in the novel and the latest corporate collapses, ie, Enron, Qwest, etc. Stuff like:

Establish parallels between key players in corp. scandal and important characters in Dracula.
Examine motives/roles of both corp. execs and characters in Dracula
Conclude if Dracula is really dead at the end of the novel and make it consistent with your economic interpretation of the novel.

HEEEEELLLLLPPPP! I have not read the book and she is a slow reader, only on page 203 of some 400. Somebody please, please help. I have no clue where to start to help her and she has no clues either.

This is for her College English Lit class. Thanks!
