This is a great perspective.The lack of a reflection, for example, means that Dracula is incapable of self reflection, incapable of examining his role as a parasite on society, that siphons the lifeblood of its poorest citizens, for his own gain. I think Stephen King hit on this a little bit in his novel Salem's Lot, when the Barlowe gives several speeches about why he chose a small town to infect, rather than a big city, in which what he wanted to accomplish would have been more successful.

Barlowe chose that town becasue it most easily reminded him ofhte poor area in Eastern Europe, that he’d been victimizing for several centuries, with little to no pushback, and he entirely underestimated the strength and ingenuity of his American foes, because they were “people of hte earth” as he called them.

Anyway I think a whole treatise could be written about Dracula’s motivations, as well as addressing the xenophobia of Victorian England, which fueled the story.
