Mina's Connection to Dracula

1. Now that Mina has been bitten by Dracula, they have a shared connection together

2. She is able to kinda see and feel Dracula

1. Knowing this Dracula could have easily manipulated the narrative into thinking they have the upperhand

The death of Lucy and the "death" of Dracula are extremely different

Around chapters 3/4, when we are first introduced to the three wives of Dracula, Jonathan writes in his journal that they seem to fade and/or reappear out of thin air.

Renfield has a strong connection with Dracula.

Puppet:

1. He could easily manipulate Seward into thinking whatever he wanted to believe

2. We see this recurring theme of one needs to absorb as many lives as possible in order to gain power

1. We see this when Renfield begins to eat bugs, which could be something that Dracula is teaching him

Jonathan's Journal and Mina's Translation 

# data[].attributes.body
When Jonathan is writing his journal, he often describes himself as feeling like Hamlet. He feels as if he is going crazy the more time he spends in the castle. When he is writing his letters and journal entries, he writes them in shorthand. Which Mina later translates. Mina is often described as an intelligent woman however there is always a possibility of translation error.

Each culture seems to have its own different versions of vampires. Which can be vastly different. It would be hard to know what is factual and what is not.

# data[].attributes.body
From the beginning, Van Helsing knew that there were vampires were real but decided to keep this information from everybody trying to get more intel. However he keeps this information to himself. Once Lucy begins to feel better he almost prides himself on the "cures" he has found. However its kinda unclear where he got this information.

Dracula is a mythological character!!!! Nobody knows what he is capable of doing.

At the end of the day, he is still a vampire. He has years & years of gaining knowledge and strength. The combined intelligence of Jonathan, Mina, Van Helsing, Jack, Morris, and Arthur would still not even come close to that of Dracula.

We see Dracula control the wolves in many different occasions. So why didnt he use this ability when awakening? Some may argue that he didnt have the time to react or maybe that the sun was out limiting his powers. But I would like to argue that Dracula maybe saw an out. He knew that they would never stop hunting him down until he was dead so to avoid his death, he faked it by using his other power of vanishing.
