Abstract

This research analyses some issues related to the representation of the Eastern and the Western Europe as the metaphore of East and West and the postcolonial issue reflected on Bram Stoker’s Dracula. The aims of this research are to reveal Eastern and the Western Europe as the metaphore of East and West and the postcolonial issue reflected onthe novel. This research applies theory of Orientalism and theory of ambivalence as the main theories. This research is qualitative research. From the analysis, it can be concluded that Dracula by Bram Stoker implicitly contains the issue of the East and the West by representing Eastern and Western Europe. The Eastern Europe representations are exotic landscape, tradition and superstition, and lustful. The Western Europe representations are the technology and rationality, and protagonist characters. The narrative of Dracula is also the representation of the West domination over the East through the monolith stigmatization. It reflects the strength of the West as well as the flaw of the West in taking information about the East. As the result the text remains ambivalence.Keywords: Ambivalence, East, Poscolonialism, Representation, West
