Edward Cullen, the protagonist in the series, is charming, hot and dangerously irresistible. In sunlight, his body gracefully sparkles in diamond, and his eyes change color and express the ultimate love and affection the beholder possess. On the other hand, Dracula is humanly unattractive. He is an old blood thirst horrifying beast that no one would lay eyes on it twice. The creature had a thick mustache, broad nose, large protruding canine teeth, a scary face and hair as grey as ash. Clad all in black. From head to toe. Dracula has no reflection; he allows himself to be almost invisible. On the other hand, Edward shows up in pictures and has a representation.
On character, Edward has a good heart, he is caring charismatic, charming and shows great affection to Bella. He is also protective, and he has control not to lunge at her or to his colleagues at school. In fact, the whole of the Cullen family are vegetarian; they do not feed on human flesh.

It draws an inspiring motion He allows the society to experience the romantic and mysterious life he lives. They give different opinions and thoughts for vampirism. I have watched both versions of the movies, and from experience, Dracula is no match for Twilight.
