My revenge is just begun! I spread it over centuries, and time is on my side. Your girls that you all love are mine already; and through them you and others shall yet be mine – my creatures, to do my bidding and to be my jackals when I want to feed.
– Bram Stoker
Dracula, Chapter 23. Count Dracula boasts of his domination to Van Helsing’s group in the Picadilly house. He reveals how he will target the men through the women. As the women become vampires, they will feed off the men, and the Count will continue to feed off the women drinking their and indirectly the mens’ blood. He has begun his revenge, after the loss of the power and position his family once held while he was alive.
