Dracula can be read as a novel of reverse colonisation, describing the civilised world-facing invasion by the vampire’s primitive force; late Victorian society sees it’s own imperial practise emulated back in monstrous form. Contemporary society overindulging in its use of the vampire has established it as extraneous, creating a reduced effect of revulsion and fear towards the vampire and thus a
Edna’s problems, viewed today, are not atypical. She struggles with her happiness and wishes for her own identity besides that of wife and mother which she could not do because of the gender biases of the time. These are very modern problems in a Victorian time period. Kate Chopin, very successfully, captures the struggles of one 1900s era woman facing problems that are fairly commonplace today. The women in The Awakening face problems that can be recognized as problems that women today have, and face

"Architecture never exists in isolation" (Goldberger, 2009, p. 213) is the central idea of the theme of buildings and the making of space. As a result, Goldberger believes that architects should keep the larger composition, the surrounding built world or natural surroundings, in mind when designing. However, to provide visual stimulation, consistency and variety need to be balanced.
