Dracula Chapters 17-19
Summary Dr. Seward's diary continues sometime later, and he details for us his first meeting with Mina Harker. Mina, he says, will travel with Seward to Seward's asylum, where she will stay as a guest. In her journal, Mina details the discussion which she and Seward had concerning Lucy's death. Mina agrees to type out Seward's diary, which has heretofore been kept on a phonograph. Seward is horror-struck that Mina may discover the true nature of Lucy's death, but Mina, through her persistence, convinces Seward to allow her to listen to the phonograph cylinders. Later, both Seward and Mina express their dismay at the stories which they read in each other's respective diaries.

Dracula
Summary Dracula's castle is described, like almost everything else, in precise detail. Harker notes the castle's great round arches, the immense iron-studded stone doors, the rattling chains, and the clanking of massive bolts, and he compares the scene with a nightmare. Dracula himself is as mysterious as his castle is. He is an old man and is clean shaven, except for a long white Victorian moustache, and he is clad all in black without "a single speck of color about him anywhere." He speaks in perfect English and welcomes Harker inside, shaking his hand with an ice-cold, vice-like grip. His house, as he guides Harker forward, is seen to be filled with long passageways and heavy doors; finally they come to a room in which a table is laid for dinner, set beside a roaring fire. The Count's greeting is so warm that Harker forgets his fears and gives Dracula the details of the real estate transfer. Dracula explains that, at present, because of gout, he will not be able to make the journey to England himself, but that one of his trusted servants will accompany Harker back to London.

Dracula
This novel is not told in a straightforward, chronological, omniscient manner, like many nineteenth-century novels. Instead, it is composed of a collage of letters, journal entries and diary jottings, in addition to a portion of a ship's log, various newspaper clippings, and even a "phonograph diary." Since the story is basically a mystery, this technique is highly effective in sustaining suspense, for there are literally dozens of narrative pieces for readers to fit together before they can see the complexity of the novel resolved and the entirety of Stoker's pattern. Stoker most likely borrowed this approach to his novel from Wilkie Collins, who used the same technique in his "detective" novel The Woman in White (1860).

Hell house....
There was once a family who lived in a beautiful old house in the countryside. They had lived there for many years, but they had never experienced anything strange or frightening. One night, the youngest daughter woke up to find a ghostly figure standing at the end of her bed. The ghost was a woman, dressed in a long white gown, with flowing hair and an eerie glow. The daughter tried to scream, but no sound came out. The ghost just stood there, looking at her with piercing eyes. The next morning, the daughter told her parents about the ghost, but they didn’t believe her. They thought she had just had a bad dream. However, strange things started happening in the house. The doors would slam shut by themselves, and the family would hear ghostly footsteps in the halls at night. One night, the father saw the ghostly figure in his room. He was paralyzed with fear and couldn’t move. The ghost approached him, and he realized that it was the ghost of a woman who had lived in the house many years ago. She had died of a broken heart and was now seeking revenge on those who lived in the house. The family tried to leave the house, but every time they tried, they would find themselves back inside. They were trapped, and the ghost was getting stronger every day. The family was eventually driven mad by the ghost’s haunting, and they disappeared, never to be seen again. From that day on, the house stood abandoned, and no one dared to enter. People say that the ghost of the woman still haunts the house, seeking revenge on anyone who dares to step inside. And to this day, the house remains a dark and frightening place, a testament to the power of the supernatural. Years passed, and the old house became nothing more than a legend. People whispered about it at night, telling tales of the ghostly woman who still haunted its halls. But one day, a brave young couple decided to move into the house, determined to put an end to the ghost’s curse. They moved in and immediately started to experience strange and frightening things. The doors would open and close on their own, and they would hear ghostly whispers in the dead of night. But the couple was determined to stand their ground and face the ghost. One night, as they were sitting in the living room, the ghost of the woman appeared before them. She was still as beautiful as the day she had died, but her eyes were filled with anger and rage. The couple was frightened, but they stood their ground, determined to put an end to the ghost’s curse once and for all. The ghost approached them, her eyes glowing with an eerie green light. But as she reached out to touch them, the couple grabbed each other’s hand and held tight. Suddenly, the ghost’s anger dissipated, and she vanished into thin air. The couple never saw the ghost again, and they lived in the house for many years, happy and at peace. People say that the ghost of the woman was finally at rest, and that the house was no longer haunted. And to this day, the house remains a place of peace, a testament to the power of love and determination. However, many years later, a new family moved into the house. They had heard the stories of the ghost, but they thought it was just a myth. But as soon as they settled in, strange things began to happen. They would hear ghostly whispers in the night and feel a cold, chilling presence in their rooms. One night, the youngest daughter of the family was awakened by the ghostly figure of the woman, standing at the end of her bed. The daughter was paralyzed with fear and couldn’t move, just like the father in the previous family. The ghost approached her, and the daughter realized that she was the same ghost who had haunted the house so many years before. The daughter tried to scream, but no sound came out. The ghost just stood there, looking at her with piercing eyes. The daughter was filled with a sense of dread, knowing that the ghost was seeking revenge. The next morning, the daughter told her parents about the ghost, but they didn’t believe her. They thought she was just imagining things. But as the days passed, the strange occurrences in the house continued, and the family realized that the ghost was real. The family tried to leave the house, but just like the previous family, they found themselves back inside. They were trapped, and the ghost was getting stronger every day. The family was eventually driven mad by the ghost’s haunting, and they disappeared, never to be seen again. And so, the old house remains abandoned to this day, a testament to the power of the supernatural. People still whisper about the ghost of the woman who haunts its halls, seeking revenge on anyone who dares to enter. Many years passed, and the old house became nothing more than a distant memory. But one day, a young woman came to the town, seeking to uncover the truth about the ghostly tales that surrounded the house. She was a curious and brave young woman, and she was determined to find out what had happened to the families who had lived in the house. The young woman decided to stay in the old house, to see if she could experience the ghostly presence for herself. At first, nothing happened, and she thought the stories were just legends. But as the days passed, she started to hear strange noises in the night, and she felt a cold, chilling presence in her rooms. One night, as she was sitting in the living room, the ghost of the woman appeared before her. The young woman was frightened, but she stood her ground, determined to put an end to the ghost’s curse. The ghost approached her, her eyes glowing with an eerie green light. But as she reached out to touch the young woman, something unexpected happened. The ghost vanished into thin air, and the young woman was left alone in the room. The young woman was confused, but she soon realized that the ghost was no longer seeking revenge. The ghost was finally at rest, and the house was no longer haunted. The young woman left the house and spread the word of what she had experienced. People started to return to the house, and they were amazed to find that it was no longer haunted. The house became a place of peace and happiness once again, and the ghost of the woman was finally at rest. And to this day, the old house remains a symbol of hope and redemption, a testament to the power of the human spirit and the determination to overcome even the greatest of fears.
