I write to you in the utmost secrecy and so ask that you respond by letter as I have and promptly eat this as to rid your room of evidence of our communication as soon as you have finished. I do not trust the Count, or even this land. Something is going on here and I urge you to leave this wretched place with me as soon as possible. Think of all that has happened these past few days.

The same circumstances are with Dracula except for blood symbolizes his survival and euphoria “The blood is life!”

Even though he didn’t have servants, I found myself wondering if Dracula was a woman, would he still rush to get Jonathans’ luggage? In my opinion, yes. Dracula wants him to feel comfortable in his castle, and he will do anything to make Johnathan feel that way! I also feel like Dracula is commanding. I think when Dracula controls the wolves, it makes Johnathan uncomfortable much like Craft describes in his article.

In the novel Dracula by Bram Stoker, there are several different characters who demonstrate heroism by acting selflessly.

The abnormal way in which these sexual anxieties are presented permits the discussion of these apprehensions. The supernatural renders Lucy inhuman — her twisted face resembles “The coils of Medusa’s snakes ” (Stoker 250) — and as such, the sexual and moral dangers she posits in her independence are punishable by the four men.
