Dracula
Revising for Dracula in the comparative paper? I have compiled a list of extensive quotes per theme and character, so that you don't have to do the hard work. I used these as quote banks alongside my annotated texts and got A*. I would recommend learning the best 5 in your opinion - 5 per each cha...
East
Transylvania...on the borders of three states
Least know portions of Europe
Not able to light on any map
Mixed with them
Further East you go the more unpunctual the trains
Old Oriental band of brigands
Goitre was painfully prevalent
Something like them in Hampton Court but they were old and frayed
Crucifix a comfort and strength
Race
Mixed with them
He lay like a filthy leach
Create a new and widening circle of semi-demons to batten on the helpless
Decline of empire
If she live on, Un-Dead, more and more they lose their blood
Supernatural and Superstition
Centre of some sort of imaginative whirlpool
St George’s day, all evils of world will have full sway
Crucifix
Charm or guard against the evil eye
Strange optical effect, when he stood between me and the flame he did not obstruct it
Agreeing with cardinal points of compass
Crawl down the castle wall face down look spreading out around him like great wings, just as
a lizard moves along a wall
I was becoming hypnotised!... dust danced
This was the being I was helping transfer to London
Basilisk horror...paralyse me
Soul seemed to go out of my body and float about the air
Garlic
Golden crucifix
Dracula
I trust that your journey
Very red lips, sharp looking teeth as white as ivory
Grip of steel
Tone of imperious command (wolves)
Courtly gesture
Excellent English, but with a strange intonation
Courteous welcome seemed to have dissipated all my doubts and fears
Charming smile
, Aquiline nose, domed forehead
Boyar
No reflection of him in the mirror
He flung out the glass which was shattered into a thousand pieces
There was a certain method in the Count’s inquiries
Wonderful solicitor, nothing that he did not oversee
His knowledge and acumen were wonderful
You will not discourse of things other than business in your letters
Asked me in the suavest tone to write 3 letters
A vile thing an outrage against friendship and hospitality
Soft, smooth diabolical smile
Lids and pouches underneath were bloated
He was also observing the pretty girl
He has succeeded after all then in his design in getting to london
Diabolical plan...carefully thought out, done systematically and with precision
Cunning be the growth of ages
In Old Rome he flourishes
Yet he is not free, power ceases at the coming of the day...limited freedom
That mighty brain, that iron resolution
The Draculas were a great and noble race
Latent homoeroticism
As Count leaned over me and shuddered I could not repress a shudder
He opened for me himself the door
I knew the man by his neck and the movement of his hands and arms
I took pleasure in disobeying him
This man belongs to me
Count carried me here and undressed me
I was awakened by the Count
(M and L) sitting by the fire undressing
Harker
I did not know what to do
I felt under obligation to meet my host’s wishes
The castle is a veritable prison and I am a prisoner
I need all my brains to get through
Let me begin with facts, bare meagre facts
What could I do but bow acceptance
I must watch for proof
I must know the truth
I would fain have rebelled
Bunt without that protection of the law which is even a criminal’s right
I must take action of some sort… Action!
A terrible desire came upon me to rid the world of such a monster
Here is the book
Pale
It was the doubt to the reality of the whole thing that knocked me over. I felt impotent
I am not afraid even of the count
