Mountain-ash is also described as a form of protection from a vampire, although the effects are unknown. [43] This was believed to be used as protection against evil spirits and witches during the Victorian era.

Van Helsing believes that Lucy is not truly dead, and is instead ‘un-dead’. He leads Lucy’s previous suitors, Holmwood, Seward, and Morris, to her tomb. Count Dracula is equipped with many supernatural powers that make him a formidable enemy. However, Stoker is also quite pragmatic about the fact that part of what makes Dracula dangerous is his wealth, and his ability to engage in systems of economic exchange. Dracula buys his new home in England through a perfectly legal and commonplace financial transaction, and he pays for his voyages to and from England, rather than using any sort of magical ability to travel. When Harker is imprisoned in the castle, he observes finding “a great heap of gold in one corner,” evidence of Dracula having the money he needs to carry out his plans. While Dracula’s ancient origins and supernatural powers seem to make him a figure from the past, he is able to seamlessly navigate the modern cash economy and use it to his advantage. So long as he has the money to pay, many characters, including Harker himself, are willing to overlook his eccentric and menacing behavior. The descriptions of the vampires in Dracula often have s exual undertones. The vampires are presented as harbingers of evil, their sexual nature being part of their danger. Dracula, Gothic novel by Bram Stoker, published in 1897, that was the most popular literary work derived from vampire legends and became the basis for an entire genre of literature and film. Summary you, their best beloved one, are now to me, flesh of my flesh, blood of my blood, kin of my kin, my bountiful wine-press for a while, and shall be later on my companion and my helper. You shall be avenged in turn, for not one of them but shall minister to your needs. But as yet you are to be punished for what you have done. You have aided in thwarting me. Now you shall come to my call. When my brain says 'Come!’ to you, you shall cross land or sea to do my bidding. [40]Cazacu, Matei (2017). "Dracula and Bram Stoker". In Reinert, Stephen W. (ed.). Dracula. Leiden, Netherlands: Brill Publishers. p.248. ISBN 978-9004349216. Since there is no omniscient narrator we, the reader, do not know all of the information instantly. For instance, when Lucy falls ill, even though we may suspect there are darker forces at Play, this is not confirmed until Van Helsing arrives to assess what is causing her mysterious illness. Stoker's notes illuminate much about earlier iterations of the novel. For instance, they indicate that the novel's vampire was intended to be a count, even before he was given the name Dracula. [44] Stoker likely found the name Dracula in Whitby's public library while holidaying there with his wife and son in 1880. [41] On the name, Stoker wrote: "Dracula means devil. Wallachians were accustomed to give it as a surname to any person who rendered himself conspicuous by courage, cruel actions or cunning". [45] Stoker's initial plans for Dracula markedly differ from the final novel. Had Stoker completed his original plans, a German professor called Max Windshoeffel "would have confronted Count Wampyr from Styria", and one of the Crew of Light would have been slain by a werewolf. [46] [f] Stoker's earliest notes indicate that Dracula might have originally been intended to be a detective story, with a detective called Cotford and a psychical investigator called Singleton.
