1. A young Englishman named Jonathan Harker travels through Transylvania on a business trip. He is there to aid Count Dracula, a Transylvanian nobleman, in buying an English estate.
2. One of the themes of Dracula is foreignness because Dracula is not human and that is the challenge that Johnathan has to face.
3.I feel that Bran Strocker wakes up late and sleeps during that day and he probably drinks tea instead of coffee. He probably wishes he wasn't hungover and he probably doesn't even eat breakfast but if he did it would just be tea and crumpets.
The impression I had was that we were leaving the West and entering the East
In the library I found, to my great delight, a vast number of English books, whole shelves full of them, and bound volumes of magazines and newspapers
"I long to go through the crowded streets of your mighty London, to be in the midst of the whirl and rush of humanity, to share its life, its change, its death, and all that makes it what it is."

Symbolism: Dracula ain't just about the paranoia that your neighbor might be a psycho. It's about the (hopefully more justified—we hope your neighbors are the kind you can borrow a cup of sugar from) paranoia that the British Empire was going the way of the dodo bird
Tone: here was something about them that made me uneasy, some longing and at the same time some deadly fear. I felt in my heart a wicked, burning desire that they would kiss me with those red lips. It is not good to note this down, lest some day it should meet Mina's eyes and cause her pain; but it is the truth. (3.29)
Narrative Point of View: Bram Stoker clearly lived by the ethos of "the more the merrier." There are definitely more narrators in this bad boy than in your average novel.
