In dracula things don't get interesting until the end of Chapter 2. the chapter starts to show a dark and unpleasant horrible feeling that Stoker makes in the novel.

Throughout the novel you see van helsing questioning the young doctor because if he doesn't understand something, the doctor tends to get rid of all ides on that rather than to think he just doesn't know about it. Van Helsing works as a mentor to the doctor to open his mind to things he doesn't quite understand. bram Stoker basically shows you that being modern can sometimes blind you from what reality really is, that it slows you down, thats why dracula preys on the people and gets away with it for so long. van helsing is not affected by this though. van helsing tries to understand both modern and old knowledge.
