Chapter 5 - Jonathan Harkers Journal (continued)

I really enjoyed this chapter as there was a lot happening especially as Jonathan has realised exactly who and what Dracula is. I liked the part when the mother was screaming for her child as it truly shows what Dracula is capable of and also the fact that Jonathan was given the chance to leave but Dracula obviously had other plans.

Another good thing about this chapter it truly portraits the Gothic genre for example the wolves, the blood, the coffin and a dark dingy room. I like how the author has made Jonathan angry by Dracula being asleep but he still has an expression on his face as to say laughing at Jonathan.

I'm not particularly sure how Jonathan is going to escape from the room and how the story is going to carry on. I'm starting to actually enjoy reading the book and look forward to finding out how he is going to escape.

  1. I'm glad that you are enjoying the novel more now - although you seem surprised...! Think about whether you'd like to pursue the perspective of the woman any more in your coursework - you could after all write a chapter from her perspective... just a suggestion!
