So far i am enjoying Dracula a lot of mix genres are included for example romance, mystery and Gothic. Mina and Lucy's journals and letters are more fit for the romance genre due to Lucy's constant talk of her love Aurthur. i particularly like the line where Mina's describing Lucy 'If Mr holmwood fell in love...before proposing or accepting' Lucy and Mina i think have a strong and loving relationship.
Lucy's sleepwalking at this stage is particularly bad due to her walking to the church in just her night clothes. Mina's description of the mysterious figure again sounds a lot like Dracula from the description of his 'white face and red gleaming eyes' Also the mention of the two red points on Lucy's neck raises superstition of the possibility that she may of been bitten by a vampire.
Mina seems overwhelmed at the long awaited news from Jonathan. The news of his illness and his delirious speakings of wolves, poison, blood etc leaves the reader contemplating what could of hap pend at the counts castle.
