| Summary | "Dracula" by Bram Stoker is a Gothic novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Jonathan Harker, a solicitor’s clerk, who travels to Transylvania to assist Count Dracula with a real estate transaction in England. The narrative delves into themes of fear, the unknown, and the supernatural, exploring Harker's unsettling experiences as he finds himself trapped in Dracula's mysterious castle. At the start of the novel, the opening chapter presents Jonathan Harker's journal entries during his journey to Dracula's castle. He describes his travels through Eastern Europe, from Munich to Bistritz, where he encounters superstitions and apprehension from the locals about his destination. Upon reaching the castle, Harker experiences an odd hospitality from Count Dracula, marked by a growing sense of dread as he realizes he is a prisoner. He witnesses strange behaviors from Dracula and finds himself haunted by nightmarish visions, foreshadowing the terror he will face in the ensuing chapters. The beginning establishes an eerie atmosphere that sets the stage for Harker's harrowing encounters with the enigmatic Count. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
