Per example, I found out that Stoker writes just like one speaks, with the accent given by the writing - « Now, sir, you can go and arsk me what you want. You'll excoose me refoosin' to talk of perfeshunal subjects afore meals».
And, by now, more than before, we can see that nothing is said by chance. All the letters and journals are combined in a way that show us a little bit more about what is happening. Besides, some clues are left by those letter, or the introduction of the same, like « Letter, Mina Harker to Lucy Westemra (unopened by her)».
New characters are now important too. Well, they were before mencioned in the book, but only now we can see how important they are.
- The first one is Quincey Morris, from Texas: is young, fresh and have brave eyes. An adventurer, funny person, good-humoured that likes to speak slang when with someone of confidence. He's in love with Lucy and, when he knows that she's ill, he gets worried and even helps Dr. Seward and Prof. Van Helsing.
- Reinfield - Dr. Seward patient (of the asylum). He's know for his «sanguine temperament; great physical strengh; morbidly exicitable» and his, possibly, a dangerous man. Besides, is also selfish and likes animals (spiders, flies...). Dr. Seward considered him homicidal - a zoophagous maniac: life eating - absorve as many lives as he can, comulatively (the flies are eaten by the spiders, who are eaten by birds, who are eaten by cats, who are eaten by dogs, which he eats).
But another things is mantained: the human nature is still focused - the love one feels for someone who makes us do anything for that someone. We get a new perspective of that nature, while we are still trying to figure out what is going to happen next.
