Chapter 7

First of all i like the style of the newspaper clipping from Mina's Journal. So far i enjoy Bram Stokers style of novel as it flips from journal to letter to newspaper clipping.

I think that the novel is becoming more mysterious each time, this chapter i found was more horror then the gothic genre for the reason that ghosts and death are mentioned alot. Dog's were mentioned alot in this chapter could this relate to the were wolves that Jonathan harker saw?

Also the ships log mention of a man that fits Draculas description could that be him? if so why was he there and isnt it coinsedental that this occured near to where Mina lives?
I enjoyed this chapter as there was alot of drama happening all of the time.

  1. Yes - I agree with you Leah! The pace is speeding up, as we are bombarded with more and more random slips of information from different sources. The ghost mentions are linked in with the mist - do you remember our discussion of the effect of mist when we talked about the sublime? It is used for the way it can distort and obscure figures.
