Dracula
Topic 1
The tone of fearfulness and helplessness is displayed in the passage, as Jonathan’s
narrations says ‘(he) could do nothing
...
The common noun
‘such allies’ goes to support the fact that Jonathan is a prisoner to the Count, who is a
formidable person to go up against as he alone is a ‘command(er)’ who, wields great power
...
Also, there are traces of a bewildered tone and a haunting mood in the passage as Jonathan
states that Dracula’s ‘youth had been half re-newed
...
This gives the reader an insight to how all of a sudden his skin becomes ‘rubyred underneath’ and how his lips are now ‘redder than ever
...
This is because, Jonathan believes that the end of his human life is insight and that he is
going to die right there in Romania
...
Stoker perhaps chose to use the
‘howling’ of ‘wolves’ because, it creates a haunting image, as wolves are associated as things
hiding in the shadows waiting to be unleashed
...
Superlatives are also used in the passage with
the quote – ‘the howling of the wolves grew louder and angrier;’ This implies that the
wolves are trained to devour human flesh, thus making him believe that his death in the
castle is inevitable
...
’ [44] This use
of personification with making ‘Death’ a noun signifies the count’s power over Jonathan and
Dracula’s ability to make Jonathan feel as though he is on the verge death, as it already
seems like Dracula is in control of death anyway, so therefore there is nothing he is able to
do about it
...
The Byronic
Vampire meant that they were very powerful and were good at charming or manipulating
people to bend to their wishes
...
g
...
There was a diabolical wickedness in the idea great enough for the Count…’ [43]
This makes Dracula manipulative, as he is making Jonathan believe it is of his best interest to
wait to leave in the morning, however in reality the Count decides when it is time for him to
leave
