Gem Bookshelf: Dracula🌑

Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula, needs no introduction. And nor me to give a proper analysis or summary. See how I have been listening to a Victorian English audiobook. 🕯

It is a reader friendly to include different POVs for the main characters. And side characters, for that matter, in harmony with Dracula. 🦇

Early in the story, Lucy gets proposed to by three suitors, Arthur Holmwood, John Seward, and Quincey Morris, on the same day. Turning the latter two down due to already being in love with Arthur, she accepts his proposal. (Wikipedia)

💍"Why can't they let a girl marry three men, or as many as want her, and save all this trouble?".

As the original novel from 1897 is in question, in my book, I treasure Lucy the most. Her one liners are gold.

"23 August.—“The unexpected always happens.”
