Chapters 5 - 7

What has happened to Johnathan?
The introduction of the character of Mina and her friend Lucy is very interesting. We learn who Mina is in relation to Johnathan and that she is his fiance. The use of letters and change in style of text is useful as it helps to establish the relationship between Mina and Lucy. We then get to Mina's journal in which an increasing worry about Jonathan begins to increase our aprehension. I love this build up of tension, it keeps the reader eager to read more!

I love the change in gender as well and how Stoker clearly sets the gender difference by thier style of writing.

Got to read more, i want to know what has happened to Johnathan Harker! ...
