The 'Die Monster / What Is A Man?' meme stems from the 1997 PlayStation classic, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. The opening cinematic features a melodramatic exchange between Richter Belmont and Count Dracula, characterized by its clunky yet iconic English voice acting. Dracula’s philosophical retort, 'What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets,' followed by him dramatically shattering a wine glass, became an instant internet legend. The meme is typically used to satirize pseudo-philosophical debates, dramatic confrontations, or to recontextualize the dialogue into mundane modern scenarios, often replacing the 'monster' or the 'man' with specific hobbies, brands, or social tropes.
