Welcome to chapter five of project
Dracula. I can't even say it. Draculysis
chapter five. And last time we left
Jonathan Harker fleeing Castle Dracula.
The next chapter turns to the attention towards
towards
his fiance Mina Murray and the initial
part is her writing letters to her best
friend Lucy Westerra who is of more
aristocratic background except um I
don't really know necess sorry let me
put that on there um how they would
necessarily have been friends but we
just don't have to worry about that we
just accept that they are friends and
they knew each other. Who knows how or
why or whatever? It doesn't really matter.
matter.
So you notice again the novel's epistoy
form now it shifts into letter where we
had journal form from Jonathan Harker
and now it's letters and it's easy to
forget that Stoker is writing as all of
these different characters and it's very
noticeable how he shifts his style and
genre to accommodate that as well. So
he's very good at it and you look at it,
you can actually forget that he's
writing all of this and he's adopting
all these different persona in each of
these different letters. So in this one
we've got at least initially it's Mina
and it's the letters back from Lucy as
well, but you also see plenty of other
voices being adopted in this chapter. So
it's really interesting. So we've left
with a cliffhanger of Jonathan Harker
escaping and now it shifts to who's been
referring to Mina in the or Stoker
refers to Mina in the first chapters. So
it's not a complete surprise. So it's
just going to be filling in another
piece of the jigsaw puzzle. So you have the
the
opening of the letter which is known as
a salutation. So Stoker's included that
my dearest Lucy
and that's a salutation there. And
obviously there's connotations of that
closeness and affection. And in this
era, of course, this is how friends
would communicate over long distances.
Generally, you could send telegrams if
it was urgent, but letters is the most
kind of standard form here. And it's
quite interesting to pick out. Some of
the things in here were very much like
the like the modern equivalent would be
people talking on social media or
sending each other messages. Obviously,
you've got the luxury of instantaneous
communication, but you'll notice there
is a slightly more formal style, but
actually for the time, this would be
considered quite informal the way that
they've written these letters. Oh,
sorry, they haven't because they're not
real, Stoker has written these letters.
So, let's have a look in a bit more
detail there. But again, very realistic
opening with an excuse or an explanation
really as a mark of politeness, isn't
it? Really to establish context of why
you haven't written for a while. We have
an idea of
Mina's social status and her class as
well. An assistant school mistress. So
notice it's assistant school mistress.
So, she's working in a school, but she's
not actually a fully qualified teacher herself,
herself,
but she's a working woman, and she is
very much like a modern woman of the era
in many ways, but she's got some
traditional elements about her as well.
We have a long be with you and by the
sea, where we can talk together freely
and build our castles in the air. So
there's a nice metaphor there again, but
the idea of them just enjoying life and and
and
indulging in you know conversation and
fantasies and things like that. So
uh where we go with this I mean
practicing shorthand very assidiously.
You might be aware of what shortorthhand
is, but it's almost like a special code
that is used in journalism, secretarial
professions, legal professions even.
It's used to write very quickly. It's
like a symbolic written language. And
what's interesting here is Stoker
actually contextualizes some of the
things that might have seemed
implausible about this novel. It actually
actually
strangely explains that
unlike the world of Dracula, which is
all these powers of supernatural,
there's things in here if you think,
well, it's a bit far-fetched, isn't it?
Like a man be able to climb down a wall
and everything with Dracula
really that it shouldn't really bother
you if you think, well, these letters
are recording a lot of very detailed
conversations and things like that. It
none of it should be a problem at all.
Anyway, Stoker decides to contextualize
and explain in a lot of detail what what
actually happens and why some of the
things in here are the way that they
actually are. So, one of them is about
the shorthand.
So, writing letters in shortanded is
keeping a stenographic journal of his
travels abroad. So, Lucy, no, sorry, not
Lucy, Mina and Jonathan are
communicating sometimes practicing the shorthand
shorthand
and also interestingly a nice little
anaphoric reference back to what we had
in the first few chapters which is we've
been reading that very journal
then about the diary nice hyphenated
compound here two pages to the week with
a Sunday squeezed in a corner diaries
that's a very informal element
of the uh letter here isn't it as well
there's mention here this will come back
later on
talks about lady journalists so it looks
here like she has aspirations to be
maybe a journalist herself. And in those
days, it would be premodified with lady
journalist for a female journalist just
because there weren't that many. It
would be
uh it would be kind of clarified like
that. Uh interviewing and writing
descriptions and trying to remember
conversations. I am told that with a
little practice, one can remember all
that goes on or that one hears said
during a day. So Stoker actually
contextualizes all of this incredible
detail that we get particularly from
Mina in
the rest of the novel.
Then we hear about I hear rumors
especially of a tall handsome
man which you've got this extended
punctuation here and it's not a
reference to Ronald McDonald and
we'll all be glad to hear but this is
actually referring to Arthur Homewood
who is going to become an important
character. Actually all the characters
introduced here are important characters
for the rest of the novel. So we have
Lucy's response and again Stoker is
adopting a different persona writing
this and you can actually there is a
difference between Mina's style and
Lucy's style and you can see
you can see that coming through here
even like straight away like things like
the italics used for emphasis. So
there's more of a sense I must say you
taxed me very unfairly with being a bad
correspondent. I wrote to you twice
since we parted and your last letter was
only your second. This is very similar
to the kind of thing that happens you
know in the present day like between
friends with like social media and
people might have to explain why they
haven't been in touch and someone gets
offended because they've not been
communicated with those kind of things.
It's very similar isn't it? It's
basically the same kind of thing. So
actually that adds to the realism.
Then the tall curly heathered man not
Ronald McDonald but it was Arthur
Homewood. And then this is a reference
to um a social event where they would
have met. There's Mr. Homewood. That's
Arthur Homewood. Then there's references
to here. This is Dr. Seward's talking
about here. He's a doctor. Really
clever. Just fancy.
Lucy's character uses fancy a lot. You
know, it seems to be part of her idioc.
You can talk about that idioc like an
individual's way of speaker in this case
actually about writing obviously, but
it's part of her personality.
These characters are young. All the
characters in here are generally younger
than you think they are or not
necessarily younger than you think they
are, but they're younger than they're
even depicted in films and things
because everyone just imagines Victorian
stuff automatically a bit older. But
Lucy is about 19 and mean is about the
same I think. So it's all much younger
than people imagine these characters or
they're depicted in films.
And there's a reference to he's a
curious habit of looking one straight in
the face as if trying to read one's
thoughts. So Dr. Sew it in some ways
reflects the early days in the late 19th
century of they were starting to
realize and have ideas about psychology
and psychiatry. And it was in kind of
early days. They were they were very
early days of moving away from just
locking up people with mental health
problems to moving towards actually
trying to understand and even treat
people. It was it there quite a long way
to go but there's starting to shift in
that kind of attitude
where I know there from my glass that's
a mirror. So you could use that as
evidence of maybe there's a reference to
that there maybe suggests about Lucy's
potential vanity. Lucy is a character
you can see her, you know, she could be,
you might see her as quite flirty and en
and enjoying that kind of aspect of her
personality, maybe a little bit vain.
She's also very naive as well. So, it's
really it's a mixture of the two rather
than and a lot of films really do one or
the other really in terms of the the um
depiction of Lucy that is slang again.
So there there would have been
for a kind of more
socially higher up kind of person um of
some of social status like using slang
would be seen as a bad thing by older
people and it's obviously much there's
much less of a concern about that in the
modern era but it would have been
something that I suppose for them as
younger as teenage girls it would be
kind of cooler really they wouldn't know
the word cool and that slang in itself,
but you see what I mean.
Um, but it's completely appropriate for
these two communicating with each other
because they're best friends and so they
can use the language.
You could basically everyone has their
own little speech groups where you have
these yourselves. I have these, we all
have these where different people you
talk to use language and words
differently. And that's what Stoker
actually captures in this. There's a
sense of two friends who are on the same
wavelength. They're part of the same
speech group. Therefore, they use the
same kind of language.
Then we have at the bottom, I can't
really highlight it down here because it
interferes with the controls for my
recording. So, I'll try my best. Here we
go. But that's about as far as I can go
with it. I I love him. I am blushing as
I write for although I think he loves me
as he is not told me so in words. But
Omina, I love him. I love him. I love
him. And you've got use of tricolon
there for emphasis stoker again. And a
lot of this is really just setting up future
future
tragedy. Actually, if you know what
happens later on, you might not, but if
you know what happens later on, there's
important things being established
in this chapter. And when you get to
those, you can think back and come back
and listen to this and you go, "Oh,
yeah." Or when you're rereading it.
Stoker included. This is not something
I've really noticed actually much
before. Wish I were with you, dear
sitting by the fire undressing. I think
is that being a bit saucy there from
Stoker like slightly, you know, sexually
suggestive of two young women on their
own undressing particularly for a
Victorian readership as well.
You know, it's a little bit little bit
fruity as a reference there. I think
Stoke would maybe argue that he was
doing it to show their friendship and a
sense of that intimate relationship,
that closeness, but I think there is a
little bit of titilation going on there
for Victorian readers, which is why the
book partially there's loads of things
in this book that be controversial. I
should say novel rather than book
controversial for Victorian readers. But
then I need not tell you this is a
secret. Good night again. So
that's quite realistic again reflecting
two young women's relationship you know
sharing secrets saying not to say things
don't tell anyone else. Yes. So it's
again Stoker making it realistic in
terms of their relationship here.
This is the next letter where we get a
response and we have a revelation here
of Lucy having had three proposals. So,
this is an interesting structural device
for Stoker to introduce
three male characters here who are all
three of them are interested in Lucy,
but he sets it up in quite an
interesting way where all three of them
don't really seem aware of each other's
interest in her as well, which actually
also serves as a nice contrast between
the closeness of Lucy and Mina, whereas
we've got a gender difference here where
the men obviously they're all close
friends, these three men, but they don't
know who they basically fancy. So it
seems a bit of a it's it's very stark
difference in gender attitudes here
towards relationships
and again it's particularly these
Victorian men. You know these three men
are quite different as well. Some girls
are so vain. I think that's included to
be ironic there considering Lucy. I
think she is more um vain than she's
letting on there.
Um there's reflecting like social values
of the time I'm afraid
sorry women I am afraid are not always
quite as fair as they should be so
bit you know self-critical of herself
and and women but the society it's
patriarchal and society kind of favors
men in they didn't have many divorces
but in divorce cases uh custody would
always go to men you know the law
favored men on everything
uh generally speaking uh with some
few exceptions actually but I think it
reflects this kind of wider cultural values
values
then poor old Dr. Seard hasn't really
got a chance really particularly when
Stoker has Lucy
contextualize who he is as Dr. John
Seard, the lunatic asylum man. That
doesn't really make him sound like the
world's best match, does it really?
He's actually coming across quite
awkward here, which is the uh the ' 90s
film, which is a flawed flawed version,
but it's got lots of good things in it.
But one of the things one of the things
they got is they do get a sense of Dr.
Seard's awkwardness come through, but
they do it in a bit more of an
exaggerated way. I think he literally
trips up over a rug. But um and he
crushes somebody else's hat. He crushes
Arthur's hat, I think, in the film. But
anyway, but they do at least capture the
it's the same kind of flavor of what's
happened here because he almost managed
to sit down on his silk hat right at the
bottom there. It says very awkward. He's
coming across here. It's a bit of a to
me it makes him seem like a almost like
a stereotype of the bumbling scientist
in some way. He's a very clever academic
man, but he's slightly awkward socially.
So, we're getting this is enabling
through Lucy as a character. Stoker can present
present
very efficiently these core character
aspects of these people. And the lunatic
asylum is very important to Dracula as a
novel as well. So, you'll be pleased to
know this isn't a euphemism, or I hope
it isn't. He kept playing with the lance
in a way that make me nearly scream.
He's fidgeting with an object related to
his profession and being a doctor and uh
he's trying to look cool, but he's
actually fidgeting with it. And it's one
of those things that we do. We'll be
nervous if we might do something like
click a pen or something like that,
isn't it? That kind of thing. Um
okay, so he's and he actually gives his
own proposal as well. And then he asks,
I've actually not really highlighted
anything there in that big chunk, but
most of it is just him. He he makes his
proposal. He's rejected. Then he asks,
"Is there anybody else?" Because he'd
like to have an idea that if there
isn't, there's still some hope. He could
be with Lucy. And then she says,
"Actually, I am interested in someone
else." So this
this
paragraph then finishes, "I feel so
miserable, though I am so happy." Where
we've got antithesis here at the end.
Then the next character in this scene
introduced, my personal favorite, it's
Quincy P. Morris, who I I just love this
because he gets cut out of most versions
and adaptations of Dracula, but he's
basically a cowboy and he's a cowboy in
Dracula. And I think most versions cut
it out because I just think viewers just
wouldn't be able to handle the Gothic
horror mixed with a western and he just
gets cut out, which a terrible shame.
But he's in there because it's at the
time it was very fashionable and also
very modern. It's easy to think, we
always just think of the past and you
kind of compartmentalized the past and
everything. We think about Victorian
London, but of course the world of the
Wild West and America that's going on at
the same time in the 1890s. That's the
same and there's obviously there's lots
of misconceptions and things that aren't
actually true about the Wild West, but
it's actually going on at the same time.
And in Stoker's time, it was really
fashionable. It was really um like a hot topic
topic
uh in V in the V late Victorian era
where the you'd get wild west shows.
You'd get um marksman um you'd get like
you know and horse riding you get like
uh Buffalo Bill and Andy Oakley and
people they would all come over they'd
meet Queen Victoria they you know
afterwards see these shows and
everything. It was a big deal at the
time. So that's my best guess of why
there's a cowboy in he's essentially a
cowboy in Dracula. So he's from Texas.
He represents the old sorry he
represents the new world of America
which wasn't the most powerful country
at the time. British Empire way more
powerful. America was really just a kind
of up and coming as a country really at
that time. And he represents new world
but he's also got old-fashioned values
as well. He's like a he's almost like a
knight in some ways and again I think
that's why Stoke put him into it. So
he's from Texas
and then this is an interesting line
because it shows cultural attitudes
towards race here as well. So I
sympathize with Paul Desdona when she
has such a dangerous stream poured in
her ear even by a black man. So that's
showing the kind of established racism
of the Victorian era where if you know
in Athell, if you've ever studied Athell
or if you're aware of it, he is Athell
is a black general in Venice of you're
really, you know, really successful,
highly important general and he's
married to a young white woman called
Desdona. and she fell in love with him
because she heard a fellow talk to her
father about all of his adventures.
And so it's a reference to that. But I I
find it quite interesting here how I
think to modern
to modern uh Shakespeare
audience when you see that scene there's
you you I think to a modern you would
just see it as oh you know she fell in
love that's how they fell in love. But
Lucy here is saying it was dangerous.
You know, I can see how even by a black
man. So the idea again, there's class
associated this. There's that kind of institutionalized
institutionalized
cultural racism here as well. Uh so I
thought that was interesting. I thought
that was that was uh an interesting
angle. And if you don't know a fellow,
it's a really good play and it's worth
looking at as well.
Or you might end up studying in the
future. Who knows? So he's Quincy P.
Morris and he has got not only a great
name but he said Lucy says he doesn't
always speak slang that is to say he
never does so to strangers or before
them for he's really well educated he
has exquisite manners so he's still set
up of he's still acceptable as a potential
partner for Lucy as a potential husband
for Lucy because you know he he doesn't
speak in cowboy talk all the
But he does other times because the
argument is is that she finds it
entertaining so that's why he does it
and but yeah there's more of a you can
see we've had several references to
slang before as if it's bad but
obviously who cares really in the modern
era but it's fine but I love all these I
love the dialogue of Quincy Miss Lucy I
know I ain't good enough to regulate the
fixings of your little shoes but I guess
if you wait till you find a And that is
you will go join them seven young women
with the lamps when you quit. Won't you
just hitch up alongside of me and let us
go down the long road together driving
in double harness. So that's brilliant.
Look at all the we've got elision so or
gd dropping there like fixings. Um Miss
Lucy the way that he addresses her. The
vocative there that's a good one. and
the use of the verb quit. That's very
kind of American as well, isn't it? Very
kind of, you know, particularly like the
slang as well. Or a colloialism,
colloquial use of that verb in that
sense. There we've got this extended
metaphor. Just hitch up alongside me.
Let's go down the long road together
driving in double harness that evokes
cowboys, doesn't it? And wagons and all
those kind of things. This bit is a
reference here, a biblical reference to
the wise and foolish virgins. And you
can look up the the actual Bible story
yourself if you want to. But the basic
thing is that the clue is in the name
there, the wise and foolish virgins.
Stoker is really alluding to it's Mina
and Lucy. One's the wise one, one's the
foolish one, and Lucy seems to be the
foolish one, particularly in what
happens later on.
So yeah, just bear that in mind. That's
the main thing for that one. Then uh I
know meaning you will think me a horrid
flirt. So again, where do you fall in on
the idea of is she deliberately flirtatious,
flirtatious,
cocketish, or is she naive,
kind of unaware of the law that she's
got. See where you see where you fall on
that scale. Thinking about it,
I was uh I could say a word. He began
pouring out a perfect torrent of love
making that's got more innocent
connotations in Stoker's term rather
than how we might interpret that now
just being romantic basically
more of this cultural patriarchal ideas.
Why are men so noble we women are so
Why can't they let a girl marry three
men or as many as want her and save all
this trouble? So this is this isn't like
a real kind of concrete desire. This is
really the idea of kind of possibility.
She's just it's kind of hyperbolic,
isn't it really? She's kind of saying
it. But again, you could have Stoker
maybe alluding here to kind of different
standards and attitudes towards men and
women as well, particularly in terms of
relationship. But this is also very
clever because it is actually an
indirect reference back to Dracula's
three brides is that you think what he
does. He's evil and he's he's got three
wives. I'm doing air quotes as I say
that. You might have heard me, you could
have imagined me doing that. Air quotes.
He's got three wives, his brides. And of
course, this also foreshadows Lucy's
future fate as well. Very clever, isn't
it, when you think about it. Ah, yeah. So,
So,
uh, it's better than it's better worth
being late for a chance of winning than
you than being Sorry, I always say that
again. It's better worth being late for
a chance of winning you than being in
time for any other girl in the world.
So again, more
romantic language from Quincy there, but
he does he's got this oldfashioned
chivalry about him. Little girl, it's
another one of these there. Um, taking
up I think I just highlighted that
because I wanted to remind everyone that
he's a cowboy.
There's hyperbole there. I want man like
that be made unhappy when there are lots
of girls about who would worship the
very grounded trodon. That's also
familiar collocation, isn't it? We've
heard that phrase before.
And Arthur, I didn't tell you about
number three, neither. Besides, it was
also confused. It seemed only a moment
from his coming into the room till both
his arms were around me and he was
kissing me. I'm very very happy and I
don't know what I've done to deserve it.
So, yeah, fast fast mover there from
Arthur Homewood.
And it's can't be any coincidence, I
think, that Lucy picks of the three, she
picks the one who is the son of a lord.
So, I'm going to leave that there. Then
there's a shift from Stoker's style. So
the new voice comes in of Dr. Seid
himself who's been referred to in this
chapter and notably kept in phonograph.
He's actually writing this as this is
voice recording. So they did have the
technology in those days. It was cutting
edge technology. That's why Stoker puts
this in stuff, this kind of stuff in
because it contrasts with the magical
super not so much magical but
supernatural powers of Dracula. Modern
technology can actually replicate these
supernatural powers. We've got something
here that can record your voice. And
they've even got in real life there's
recordings of Queen Victoria's voice
like made on these machines, you know.
um but they were clunky by our standards
but they they worked you know they they
actually and what's happened actually is
later on in the novel we find out all of
this has been transcribed by Mina using
the variabilities about listening and
using shorthand that she mentioned
earlier on it's all clever stuff so we
have very different style for Dr. sewed
epide. So we have a a kind of sea
related metaphor like he's not feeling
hungry at all. Notice how it's
grammatically incomplete sentence as
well. So it's again the idea of this is
actually a multimodal text. He's
speaking but it's been written up
afterwards is the idea. And he's sad,
isn't he? Because he's been rejected by
Lucy. So he decides to go and see one of
his most intriguing patients.
Um, I seem to wish to keep him to the
point of his madness, a thing which I
avoid with the patients as I would the
mouth of hell. He finds this patient so
interesting. He's doing something he
wouldn't normally do and he wants to
study his madness and also the mouth of
hell reference. Again, this is ironic
considering that this novel is in the
novel of Dracula and Dracula is an agent
of evil and the character we're about to
meet, Remfield, actually serves Dracula.
So, everything connects. You'll notice
this one means everything in Rome was
for sale. This one there's lots of Latin
phrases for Dr. Seid, but it shows his
highly educated background.
That's the And here's another one as
well. So that's reason for him putting
those in.
So we have here like a patient report as
well recorded. So sanguin is an
interesting word or sanguin, sorry.
Sanguin is an interesting word because
it's it's got lots of different
meanings. So it can mean he's sort of
sometimes some mean for optimistic.
Sometimes it means blood. It's something
to do with blood and related to blood as well.
well.
A very interesting choice of words. So
you could say Stoker exploits the
polymic meaning of that word. particularly
particularly
that becomes apparent later on when we
see Remfield is a servant of Dracula. So
we've got strange things about him.
Great physical strength, morbidly
excitable periods of gloom ending in
some fixed idea which I cannot make out.
I presume that the sanguin temperament
itself and the disturbing influence end
in a mentally accomplished finish. A
possibly dangerous man, probably
dangerous if unselfish.
So Stoker is setting up Remfield,
who it's not completely clear how he
ended up coming under Dracula's spell.
Some films make out that he was a lawyer
who went out to see Dracula before
Jonathan Harker. It's not a bad idea
actually. Sometimes there's other
reasons for it as well. Some some films
actually change it so it's not Harker
going out there at all and it's actually
Remfield going out. seen some like that. But
But
he's probably just another person where
Dracula's had lots of interest in
England. He's had lots of different
contacts and he's he he's just come into
contact with him that way somehow. We
don't really know. And again, like a lot
of things in this novel, don't think too
hard about it. We're not really meant to
think about it.
Then we have a letter from Quincy to the
Honorable Arthur Homewood. Honorable
means that you're the son or daughter of
aristocracy or the lord basically
my dear. Now notice in the letter it's
all using slang or colloquialisms isn't
it? So Quincy here is talking to his
close friend Arthur. Again not really
explained exactly how these two very
unlikely men the cowboy the the Texan
cowboy and the uh aristocrat the English
aristocrat would have met. But they've
had loads of adventures together which
is brilliant as well. I love that idea.
So his reference to some of them
triangle landing at the Marquises
uh the shore of Titty Kaka. It's a great
word and then Yans that's like
colloialism isn't it for
uh colloquialism for stories.
They also know our old pal Jack Seid.
And Korea is a club. That's a club, not
career as in the country. It means
career as in there's a there's a club
called the Korea and they met him there
as well. They know him from there. But
there's dramatic irony set up because
Quincy thinks they're going to be able
share a drink about being rejected by
Lucy without realizing that actually
it's Arthur who is marrying her. So
again, the irony of they don't they
don't know
about their own they don't know about
their own friends own love interests and things.
things.
So we have
so the actual
so the actual
chapter ends with sorry I was confusing
because I saw two lightsabers appear.
Then we have a telegram which is a very modern
modern
way of communicating. It was near instantaneous.
instantaneous.
And we have a telegram. Count me in
every you have to pay by the word. That
was it. Count me in every time. I bear
messages which will make both your ears tingle.
tingle.
More dramatic irony because Arthur
Homewood doesn't realize that these two
other men have also proposed to the
woman that he's proposed to.
And again setting up their relationship
and really important for stuff that
happens later on to Lucy and the bond
between these three men is yeah really
effective. Plus all the other stuff
about Mina as well that's important too
in this chapter.
That is the end of that chapter. Just
this page just got art. But that's
interesting the fact that it's actually them
them
and then he just signs off with the
validiction. I forgot to say that for
the other letters. When you end a letter
or form of communication, a great word
for a farewell is valid.
Great word. It means farewell, but he
just uses his dimminitive form of his
name, Arthur, as art.
He's the honorable Arthur Homewood, but
with his friends, he's just art. So,
he's an aristocrat,
but he's down to earth. He's got, you
know, varied friends of different
classes and backgrounds.
I doubt he hangs out with the chimney
sweeps and stuff like that. But you know
what I mean. He's got a friend who's a
cowboy. He's got a friend who's a doctor
who runs a lunatic asylum. And it gives
you an idea of these three men, the
closeness closeness of their
relationship. Anyway, I will stop now. I
hope you found that useful and we will
carry on in the near future. When I say
near future, hopefully the next one is
there. Just press a button, you'll
listen to it. But anyway, thank you for
listening. Like, subscribe, do all that
stuff. Listen to my other stuff. Watch
