Chapters 14 - 16

Nosferatu.

Also there are more references to traditional vampire things like driving a stake through the heart and filling the head with garlic, to kill the vampire.

The main points of these chapters are that Mina decides to transcribe the journal which Jonathan kept at Dracula's castle so that Van Helsing can look at them to find clues about Lucy's death. Jonathan is writing in his diary again and he is getting afraid that Dracula is in London. There are more and more cases of people with neck wounds that are pretty much identical to the ones on Lucy's neck. Then the main part of these chapters is the graveyard bit with the Westenra tomb in which it starts off with VanHelsing trying to prove that Lucy is a vampire then there is this whole incident where Lucy is confronted and its gets ugly as Arthur has a feeling of disgust towards her then the next night they carry out the act to kill her. Then they make a pact to set out to kill Dracula.

Its weird how the love which Arthur, Quincey, and Seward had for Lucy has been basely turned into hate at the sight of Lucy.

The tomb part is very Gothic as i can just imagine all this mist covering the outskirts with these people lifting the tops off coffins. This could be made into a very spooky, scary scene if it was in a film. You could almost expect more wolves to appear.

Chapter 13

This starts with Arthur returning, and trying to explain his despair to Seward. He has lost his fiancee, his father, and, now, his fiance's mother, all in a few days. He looks at Lucy's corpse and doubts that she is really dead. Van Helsing then gets her papers to determine her death. This is very Gothic as Gothic relates to the supernatural and being dead but not is supernatural.

Mina says that she and Jonathan are on the train to Exeter. They arrive soon in London and then take a bus to Hyde Park. Mina is then alarmed when Jonathan suddenly has another "nervous fit." She follows Jonathan's look to discover Jonathan is staring at a "tall, thin man, with a beaky nose and black moustache and pointed beard." Jonathan exclaims "It is the man himself!" Jonathan is convinced that it is Count Dracula. That night, Mina receives a telegram from Van Helsing, who informs her that Mrs. Westenra and Lucy have died.

In this chapter there is a part where Jonathan has a nervous fit which could be seen as him being possessed. As we don't know what happened to him for him to get back home without being killed by Dracula. There is a lot of people having stuff happening to them without their own control in this book so far.
