| Abstract |
|
This chapter focuses on the neo-Victorian reimagining of the vampire as an exploration of and challenges to the legacies of Victorian identity ideals. Vampires are a familiar figure in the Victorian period that embodied threats and fears that readers could engage with at a safe distance. Looking at the character Dio Brando in Hirohiko Araki’s manga series JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, this chapter analyzes how the Othered neo-Victorian vampiric figure transgresses and challenges the Victorian social norms and subverts narrative expectations to encourage reassessments of postmodern identity construction.
