The book, Dracula, by Bram Stoker set in England is a book which through journal entries, newspaper articles and letters tells the story of the Count trying to spread his “vampire ness” through England. Some important things that happen in the book are that Jonathan Harker is invited to the Count’s Castle, and survives his weird stay. The Count then comes to England and kills Lucy Westenra. So Jonathan and his wife with Dr. Seward and Dr. Van Helsing go on a hunt to kill the count.
Dr. Van Helsing arrives at the Count’s Castle to find him asleep in his coffin. So he drives a stake trough the Count’s heart, thus, killing the Count and avenging his life long friend Mina, who was also bitten by the Count.
The title of the book is very self explanatory. Dracula is the main character of the book and the book is about him, Dracula.
My first impression of Jonathan Harker was that he was an intelligent, person. He is intelligent, and remotely fearless, by the fact that he knows many languages, and because he does many things to try to escape the Counts Castle. Such as; trying to scale down the castle walls which are hundreds of feet in the air.
Jonathan I think changes in the more of a fearless sense. He is first introduced as being what seems to be a nerdy kind a guy. But as the book continues he grows to be a more fearless man in the pursuit to kill the Count, such as; not fearing the Count as much as he did in the earlier parts of the book.

A.) Man vs. Man. The men are Dracula and Jonathan Harker.
“There was one great tomb more lordly than all the rest; huge it was, and notably proportioned. On it was but one word,
DRACULA.” (407) Dr. Van Helsing
At the time this is said it is moments before Helsing kills the Count. It just gives a good since of how great the Count character was both visual and mental.
One of the major themes in the book is that of friendship. Dr. Helsing’s good friend, Mina is bitten by the Count but Helsing continues to help her throughout his search for the Count even though she is a completely different person.
When you hear about Dracula you would think of things like witch craft and the Devil, but surprisingly this book focuses for the most part on god, such as; the characters of the book praising god, and talking about the Bible. So all in all, the main thing I have learned, no matter how cheesy it may sound, never judge a book by its reputation.
