Stoker, Dracula (1879), pages 9-74 Ch1-6 What I found immediately interesting about this novel is that there are so many warning signs presented to Jonathan Harker as he makes his way to Transylvania and at the beginning of his stay at Count Dracula’s house. For example, all the superstitious reactions from the villagers, the very strange ride up to the castle, the lack of servants, and Count Dracula’s odd demeanor. All of these things should cause alarm in Harker, yet he continues on with his task

Evil never conquers because good always overcomes it. A good example of this is the book Dracula by Bram Stoker because the author expresses the nature of good vs. evil. Dracula wants to come to London because he wants to turn everyone into vampires. The basic background of the book Dracula is when Jonathan Harker, a realtor who is sent to Transylvania to complete a transaction with Dracula so he can come to England. What Harker does not know is that Dracula has a plan for world domination. Well

awful women. Faugh! Mina is a woman and there is nought in common. They are devils of the pit” (Stoker 61). Mina is also contrasted against Lucy. Lucy is more sexually awakened then Mina. This is seen in Lucy’s several proposals and her wonderings: “Why can’t they let a girl marry three men, or as many as want her, and save all this trouble? But this is heresy, and I must to say it” (Stoker 67). Lucy desires more sexually then Mina does, and later on, she pays dearly for it. Mina is regarded highly

In this passage of Dracula, Stoker uses important diction and imagery to portray the image of Lucy. The character Lucy had died a while back, however she is found to be alive again after obviously dying. Written in Seward’s perspective, Lucy coming back alive goes against logical thinking that Seward and most people cannot comprehend. Lucy’s appearance is described through various literary devices. The use of literary devices such as imagery and diction contrast each other to signify the changes

The novel describes these marks of penetration as being “two little red points like pin-pricks” that leave “a drop of blood on her nightdress” and display the physical evidence of the relations with Dracula on her body (Stoker, 127). The attack, which ultimately ends in her demise, in its nature is related to the extremely sexualized seduction of Jonathon Harker. In both situations, there is the focus on the “sensitive skin of the throat” which is kissed and then touched by the “hard dents of two

During chapter 14 of the novel Dracula we see one of our protagonists, Jonathan Harker, travel to London with his wife, Mina Harker, where they plan to group up with the group of people working to put an end to Count Dracula, including Dr.Van Helsing and Dr.Seward. As Mr.Harker recovers from his nervous breakdown from the previous chapter -which was brought about when he caught sight of a man who resembled Dracula- Dr.Van Helsing reassures Mr.Harker. After reading through Mr.Harker’s journal Dr.Van

Then we have our minor female antagonist in the novel who are the predatory sisters located in Dracula’s castle that represent destruction. Mina and Lucy represent purity and goodness while the sisters represent corruption and evil. Dracula himself threatens the virtue of women, having as evidence the three sisters testifying Dracula’s ability to transform a lady into a sex-driven “devil of

writes, "Death had given back park of her beauty, for her brow and cheeks had recovered some of their flowing lines; even the lips had lost their deadly pallor" (Stoker, p 169). Even when Dracula is killed, he has a look of tranquility on his face. Mina writes in her journal, "I shall be glad as long as I live that even in that moment of final dissolution, there was in the face a look of peace, such as I never could have imagined might have rested there" (Stoker, p 398).
