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.
