Dracula

"Dracula"

Theme. The Consequences of Modernity Setting,evil against good, yes it worked out, it adds to the novel a scense of how society was reacting in those day, it show how things were in the Victorian Era.

Setting. Transylvania and England, yes it is functional because of the geography that the places and countries where the story takes place helps the reader to have a complete image of the event that is happening. We know that the story has a cold tone and those places have a cold weather so it complements the moment and the story.

(Are they real individuals with a balance of good and bad traits? Are they consistently drawn? Are they interesting?)

Not all of them are real, some of them were real like Lucy but after they became vampires, in this story we have humans and mystic creatures.

Yes there is an attraction between the characters, good and bad drawn but they are balanced.

Yes they are interesting, personally i like when the story has real characters and mystic creatures.

Plot. It is believable? We need to remember that this is not a novel wich tells a story that can actually happened, for me, yes the story is believable speaking about the sequence of facts that is has. Does the climax grow naturally from the actions of the characters? Yes the consequences of the actions of the characters are the ones which give place to the next event in the story.
