Скачать или смотреть Renfield - Dracula's Harmless Slave? | Documentary

Renfield is a fictional character in Bram Stoker’s Gothic masterpiece Dracula. Locked up in an asylum, Renfield plays an important function in Stoker’s novel by revealing the nature of vampirism to the doctor treating him and thereby the reader.

But is Renfield just a harmless invention from the mind of a Victorian story teller, or are there people who engage in Renfield-like behaviour as part of a twisted personality or mental illness?
