In response to your comment, Joe Kostylo

First of all I thoroughly enjoy your way of thinking! You're thoughts on the middleman being the parasite and the relationships you establish make perfect sense to me. I love how you incorporated Serres "Every society founded on work is a police state… in the end it comes down to eliminating grasshoppers." Your concept on how parasites will always be around cannot be falsified. We see this everyday, as much as our society tries to rid ourselves of a parasite it always manages to exist or pop-up somewhere. This is seen in Dracula, Dracula procreates these new vampires which will repeat the process, but this is also the case for Van Helsing. There will always be a Van Helsing character as long as there is a Dracula character. Analogously there will always be characters such as Dracula's first mistress and characters such as Harker. These relationships are obvious but your thinking thinks even deeper and that's what I like about your blog, your analogies are flawless and I absolutely LOVE analogies. You point out to me the view of a third perspective, that of the middleman.

Van Helsing seems as though he enjoys killing vampires, even if its his best friend, he seems to almost benefit from vampire hunting. But it's hard to comprehend exactly how he personally benefits from this.. I think this is because he doesn't benefit at all from killing vampires, he at least once, if not twice speaks of being able to rid the world of this terror named Dracula, it seems as though he does this for the benefit of the rest of the world. Which we know to be true, without Van Helsing. Dracula would most likely still be alive and we would all be vampires by now(or up on stakes) what a terrible mental image.
