We see John and Vanessa open up to each other as he tells her about his sick son, and she tells him about her experience with Satan and how no one believes her. She tries her best to pretend, but after she is asked about her faith, they schedule her for surgery. He begs her to start showing improvement, because if she doesn’t they will perform a surgery on her that will change her forever. We saw how kind John was to her, giving her a blanket even though he wasn’t supposed to, trying to encourage her to eat, brushing her hair and reading her poetry as he tries to remind her that life is worth living and that he cares what happens to her. Eventually, she was force fed food to keep her alive (a brutal scene that we will have a hard time unseeing) and to add to the brutality we also had to watch her endure a “treatment” that involved chilling water. He would beg her to eat, but she wanted to die and was trying to starve herself. The book version is also male, while the television version is female.While Vanessa is under hypnosis, she remembers her interaction with her orderly (John) at the asylum, saying that he was the only person she remembers coming into her room and that she would see him every day when he brought her food. He allows his compatriots to use his house as a home base and accompanies them on nearly every leg of their fight. However, the novel version of Seward plays a much larger role in the fight against Dracula. In this novel, Seward is also a psychiatrist who records conversations on a phonograph. Seward originates in Bram Stroker’s Dracula. Almost none of this is reflected in Penny Dreadful. This leads him to turn on Dracula, which causes Dracula to kill him. He enters Dracula’s service willingly but soon grows fond of the story’s protagonists. Instead of being a responsible secretary who is reluctantly drawn into Dracula’s service, the novel version of Renfield is a lunatic in Dr. However, this is essentially where the similarities stop. In both versions, the character is a servant of Dracula who is obsessed with drinking the blood from animals. Like other characters in Penny Dreadful, Renfield is based after a character in Bram Stroker’s Dracula. Henry Jekyll’s position as a prominent figure at an insane asylum might be an allusion to Dr. However, Penny Dreadful’s Jekyll uses his treatment on others, while the book version uses it on himself. Both versions of the character are obsessed with the internal battle between good and evil and are looking for a way to resolve this struggle. The character of Henry Jekyll originates from Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Neither of these motivations are present in the literary version of the character. He also is working to wed the Mother of Evil in order to gain control of Heaven. This season shows that the show version of Dracula was an angel who lost a war with God and was banished to Earth. However, besides this, the two characters are very different. Both character’s are vampires with a desire for world domination and the propagation of their unique race. Draculaĭracula is clearly based on the titular character from Bram Stroker’s Dracula. In addition, the book version of the monster never had a family and did not regain memories. In the book, the monster stayed in the arctic, deciding he would die far away from society. Season 3 of Penny Dreadful, bring about even more differences between the television and literary version of Frankenstein’s monster. Warning: Spoilers for Penny Dreadful Season 3 The Creature/Caliban/John Clare Within this article, we’ll be breaking down all of these inspirations and explaining the original work from which it was derived.
