Chapter 6:
I still find it very odd that Mina isn't more distressed over Johnathan's lack of communication. Even with the considerable ammount of time it takes to pass information, a month is a long time to go without hearing from someone. Lucy's sleepwalking could be a sign of her being preyed upon by a vampire. Not all vampires merely drain a person in one go many of them take little bits over weeks or months at a time.
Chapter 7:
More than likely the boxes contain dirt from Romania. It is often said in legends that a vampire cannot live on anything but the "earth of his homeland" so whenever they move they have to take dirt from where they were born and either spread it around the perimeter of the house or keep it under the house (in the basement). The vampire who is responsible for the deaths of the crew members more than likely stowed away in one of the boxes of dirt.Also,the black dog that ran off of the ship is a sign that vampires were involved because black dogs are said to be a sign of evil, which most would say includes vampires.
Chapter 8:
After seeing the evidence in these chapters I definitely believe that Lucy is being preyed upon by a vampire. Maybe Dracula is planning on making her one of his brides. Dracula probably sent the news of Johnathan's admittence to the hospital so that if he died Mina would not come poking around for him and think that it was jsut a disease that he caught while in Romania.
chapter 9:
On the subject of Mina and Johnathan getting married while in Budapest, I wonder if a wedding ring would somehow repel a vampire. Wedding rings are supposed to represent a bond made by God, and therefore are signs of God, so I wonder if that fact would have any bearing on a vampire. Also, the obvious use of the name Van Helsing by Stoker, is well used, Van Helsing was a famous vampire hunter, or so the legends say however I believe he was Austrian and not Dutch.
Chapter 10:
Th idea of having someone keep watch over Lucy's bedside was a good one but, it might be wise to do so using multiple people because one person cannot stay up every night, its not possible. Also, this book has shown that vampires grow more powerful the more they feed, so garlic flowers may not be enough to repel a vampire of that level of strength.

Great Job i can tell that you know a hell of a lot about vampiers because you showed a lot of proof of why some of thes stuff can happen
ReplyDeleteInteresting theory about the boxes of dirt I had never heard that legend before so good job. It's clear Lucy's illness has something to do with vampires especially since she got better after Van Helsing gave her a blood transfusion
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard about the boxes of dirt theory, either, so good job for noticing that! Van Helsing is at this point not a vampire hunter, but merely a super-physician. He is referred to as a vampire hunter, though. There's even a fairly-ish recent movie about him. What do you think about Remfield, Dr. Seward's patient? It would be smart of them to use more than one person to keep watch over Lucy.
