Dracula

TO THE TEACHER LIST

OF

MAIN CHARACTERS

Count Dracula: a Transylvanian count, who is a vampire. Jonathan Harker: a young English lawyer sent to Transylvania to meet with Count Dracula on business. Mina Murray: a young English woman who becomes Jonathan Harker’s wife. Lucy Westenra: a good friend of Mina and one of Dracula’s victims. Professor Van Helsing: a doctor specialising in rare diseases who heads the fight against Dracula.

P L O T S U M M A RY Jonathan Harker, a young English lawyer, is sent to Castle Dracula in Transylvania to finalise some business with the mysterious Count Dracula on behalf of his employer. He keeps a detailed diary to share his experiences with Mina, the girl he is engaged to marry. On arrival Jonathan realises that there are no servants in the huge, ancient castle and that he is the Count’s prisoner. He discovers that the Count is a vampire who sleeps in a coffin during the day and that there are three beautiful female vampires roaming around the castle. Shortly thereafter, the Count leaves for England, and Jonathan finds himself recovering from shock in a Budapest hospital. When Mina learns of Jonathan’s condition, she joins him in Budapest and they get married. Dracula arrives in England, planning to create a whole army of vampires. One of his first victims is the lovely Lucy Westenra, a friend of Mina Murray. Professor Van Helsing of Amsterdam and others combine forces to try to save Lucy. They fail, and Lucy becomes a vampire. They subsequently have to kill her in order to free her from the curse of the vampire. Mina and Jonathan return to England for Lucy’s funeral. Van Helsing holds a meeting to discuss how to fight Dracula. He tells the others that Dracula is stronger than 20 men, can control the weather and can change into an animal, fog or dust. Van Helsing adds that vampires are repelled by garlic and holy objects, such as the cross and Host, and can only use their powers at night. Jonathan says that he has discovered that Dracula arrived in England with 50 dirt-filled boxes. Therefore it is determined that they must find the coffin in which Dracula sleeps during the day and destroy him, along with the boxes, which he uses as hiding places. Van Helsing and the others find all the boxes but one. Into each box they put some Host to make the earth holy. In the meantime, Dracula has infected Mina with his vampire blood and wants to use her against those who want to destroy him. By hypnotising Mina, Van Helsing learns that Dracula has boarded a ship back to Transylvania with the missing box. Led by Van Helsing and Mina, a group of men follow Dracula back to Transylvania to kill him and free Mina from his power. They finally catch up with the vampire along the road to Castle Dracula and kill him. His body immediately shrivels and turns into dust.

Dracula

ABOUT

THE

AUTHOR

Abraham (Bram) Stoker was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1847. Stoker was not a healthy child and so had plenty of time to read and develop a taste for literature. As a university student at Trinity College, Dublin, however, he became a champion athlete. Later, he joined his father in the Irish civil service and worked as a drama critic for the Dublin Mail. Stoker met his idol, the famous actor Sir Henry Irving, in l876 and from then on devoted himself to managing Irving’s career. In l878, he married Florence Balcombe, a former girlfriend of the author Oscar Wilde. Stoker published several books: Mystery of the Sea (l902), Personal Remembrances of Henry Irving (l906) and Famous Imposters (l910). His first book, Dracula, published in 1897, was by far his most successful and remains popular to this day. It is based on Eastern European myth and superstition. It was written in the form of a Gothic horror romance and is strongly reminiscent of an eighteenth-century comic book. Bram Stoker died in 1912.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND • This map of Romania highlights the region of Transylvania, where Count Dracula lived.

DIB RY HA

• Vampires: These creatures are part of the folk tradition of many countries. In Eastern Europe, where most HUNGARY BUKOVINA MOLDOVA of the tales originated, vampires were believed to MOLDAVIA be the victims of other vampires, doomed to TRANSYLVANIA sleep in their coffins by day and to drink the blood of the living by night. Garlic, holy water, the cross, Host and the light of day could all be BANAT used against them. It was believed that vampires WALACHIA had the ability to turn into animals, as well as into fog and smoke. People thought that they had superhuman strength, hearing and sight, and that YUGOSLAVIA BULGARIA they were able to control their victims and read their minds. To kill a vampire, it was necessary to drive a stake through its heart, cut off its head and fill its mouth with garlic to prevent it from being restored by other vampires. It was also believed that the vampire died if exposed to sunlight. In many countries in Europe, from the late 1600s to the early 1800s, people dug up graves searching for vampires. • Count Dracula: The character is based on the historical figure, Vlad the Impaler, a prince of Walachia (see map) who fought against the Turks on the borders of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the 1400s. His father had been granted the title Dracula, “Son of the Dragon”, for his services in defending the borders of the realm. Vlad and his brother were sent to Turkey as hostages when they were boys, and it is speculated that the cruelty Vlad encountered there may have unhinged his mind. After he came to power, Vlad became known for his ruthlessness towards the enemy Turks and his own people. It is said that he handled the problems of poverty in his domain by inviting the poor to a feast in his fortress and then ordering his archers to shoot them. • Bats: While bats are often thought of as frightening creatures, most bats are harmless to people and perform a valuable service by consuming huge amounts of insects. Bats are the only mammals that can fly. Many live in caves, usually in large groups of thousands or even millions. Others live in churches, trees or barns. Wherever they live, they sleep during the day, hanging upside down by their toes and only come out at night. One type of bat, the vampire bat, bites the skin of a sleeping animal with its sharp teeth and feeds on its blood.

He pushed it open and found a room covered with dust. He looked out of the window and saw Dracula crawling head first out of the window below and down the side of the castle. Jonathan sat down at a writing table and wrote in his diary. Later, he felt sleepy and lay down to rest on a sofa in the room. Suddenly there was a cloud of dust and three beautiful ladies were in the room. Their voices were like music. One of the ladies whispered, “He is young and strong. There will be enough kisses for all of us.” The most beautiful lady bent down towards Jonathan. He could feel her teeth on his neck, but he could not move. Dracula appeared and threw the lady away from Jonathan. Jonathan fainted. In the morning he was in his own room. 2. Jonathan told Van Helsing that Dracula sent 50 boxes of dirt to the chapel at Carfax. Jonathan, Van Helsing, Dr Seward and Quincey decided to go to Carfax to find the boxes the following morning. Van Helsing gave everyone a silver cross, some garlic and a gun. As thousands of rats attacked them, Dr Seward blew a whistle. A pack of dogs arrived and chased away the rats. 3. After Dracula made Mina drink some of his blood, she began to change. Dracula knew what Mina was thinking. He could control her.

Mina told Van Helsing that Dracula was in a small, dark place, but that he could feel movement, hear waves and smell the sea. Van Helsing understood that Dracula was in a coffin on a ship heading to Transylvania.
