Then from the perspective of the Freud's personality theory, it analyzes the vampires’ id, ego, superego, revealing the conflicts between the protagonist’s twisted inner world and social environment.

Thus, the personality reading enhances the novel’s readability and profundity, and helps us to understand the reasons why the novel has become a classic.
