Huh, weird how this novel isn’t talked about as much as Dracula is today in that case. You’d think with similar plot / ideas and the popularity it obtained at the time it’d still hold up today. If I can find it in my local library, I’ll definitely give it a read, though not sure if I can finish it in time.
Huh, I suppose you could use that as a theme. I do feel as if change may be an important idea when it comes to the theme. Applying what you just said to the novel actually does make sense in a way.
