Dracula

One of the novels that we read in this class was Dracula by Bram Stoker.  The novel begins with a man named Jonathan Harker traveling to Count Dracula's castle to help Count purchase land in England.  Soon Jonathan realizes that he is imprisoned in Dracula's castle.  Harker tries to escape but is seduced by three female vampires. Eventually he escapes only to fall ill and  is forced to recover in Hungary.  Mina, Harker's fiance, begins to worry about Harker but her friend Lucy is only only concerned about herself and the man that she just accepted to marry, Arthur Holmwood.  Count Dracula then moves to England and coincidentally Lucy begins to start losing blood.  Arthur is worried so he sends for Van Helsing to investigate.  Van Helsing realizes that a vampire has something to do this odd situation but eventually Lucy dies.  Van knows that she is not really dead but has become a vampire.  He seeks her out, stabs her in the heart, and cuts off her head which actually kills her.  Meanwhile, Mina goes to pick up Jonathan and they get married.  To make the story short, Dracula begins drinking Mina's blood and forces her to drink his.  The only way for Mina to not become a vampire is to kill Dracula which is exactly what Van Helsing and his team does and all is well in the end.
