| Publisher Description: The story is epistolary. It consists of reading a series of documents, being, for the most part, the diaries of the characters. Despite their clear desire for objectivity, they do not omit the opinions, sensations and feelings of their respective authors.The play itself begins when Jonathan Harker, a young English lawyer from London engaged to Wilhemina Murray (Mina) is in the city of Bistritz and must travel through the Borgo gorge to the remote castle of Count Dracula in the Carpathian Mountains from Transylvania, one of the most distant regions of Hungary at that time, to close sales with him. Becoming for a short time the Count's guest, the young Englishman discovers that Dracula's personality is strange to say the least: he does not reflect himself in mirrors, he never eats in his presence and he does nightlife. Little by little he discovers that he is a despicable, mean and ruthless being who will end up making him a hostage in the castle itself. In it also live three young and beautiful vampires who one night seduce Jonathan and are about to suck his blood, which prevents the count's interruption. To avoid this, Dracula gives them a child that he has kidnapped to drink their blood. The baby's mother soon arrives at the castle to claim it, but the earl orders the wolves to devour her. |
