The paper aims to analyze the vampiric figure Dracula as portrayed in the television series by Cole Haddon to understand the nature of identity and the socio-political constructions and constrictions that constitute the self. An individual's characteristics are often typecast by the projection of a 'singular affiliation view'. Through the character of Dracula, an attempt will be made to demonstrate how 'singular affiliation view' can be deconstructed through 'alternative identification'. In the process, it will also examine the agencies, such as knowledge, power, and relations that make Dracula a functioning individual who lives with the ambition to empower the self.
