Dracula: Gothic Elements In the novel Dracula, there are many gothic elements cleverly used throughout the story. English solicitor, Jonathan, has business to attend at Castle Dracula in Transylvania. Everything seems normal at first, but he ends up being Count Dracula’s prisoner. His fiancée, Mina, is at home and is very concerned, but she also has other matters to worry about as well. Her dear friend Lucy Westenra is in poor health, as is Lucy’s mother.
Harkers Psyche Jonathan Harker's character displays the problems of dwelling in a strictly rational modern world. Visiting Count Dracula in Eastern Europe, Jonathan scoffs at the peasants who tell him to delay his visit until after Saint George's feast day. As a typical Westernised man of the time Harckers outlook on the eastern world in Transylvania is extremely limited so upon first hearing of urban legends told by villagers he is clearly against any idea of mythological creatures and the supernatural. As a rational solicitor, Jonathan is concerned "with facts — bare meager facts, verified by books and figures, and of which there can be no doubt" (Dracula). All of Harkers rationality weakens him to what he witnesses at Castle Dracula, for example, the first time Jonathan witnesses the Count crawling down the castle face down, he is in complete disbelief.

Therefore it is blood which is most dangerous to lose; yet blood is Dracula's only source of youth. He feeds not only on the physical blood of others, but also the satisfaction of tormenting their souls. With Dracula's bite, a human is left life-less and soul-less, yet at the same time they are not quite dead; they are undead. After Lucy's death, Dr. Seward remarked on the peace Lucy must have obtained, and plainly says, "No my friend it is only the beginning," (62.) It is evident that blood will determine the victor in the end.
Mr. Charrington, the owner of the antique shop, was an undercover Thought Police agent who caught Julia and Winston in their secret room they rented out above his shop. The Spies encourage children to report thoughtcrime if they have witnessed it as well. Parsons’ daughter reports him to the Thought Police when he unknowingly talked ill of the Party in his sleep. Surprisingly, Parsons was proud of his daughter since she was so loyal to the Party and, to him, it shows how well he raised her (Orwell 233). These ways of surveillance should never take place.
Bram Stoker’s Dracula was written in a time of great change. His story had many interesting themes that where symbolic. According to shmoop.com, blood may be one of the most symbolic themes in the story (shmoop.com). The character, Renfield, says, "I tried to kill him for the purpose of strengthening my vital powers by the assimilation with my own body of his life through the medium of his blood – relying, of course, upon the Scriptural phrase, 'For the blood is the life.” He is referring to the idea that by drinking another’s blood you are able to, in some way, take their vital powers. We can relate this passage to the Christian faith and taking communion.
