Chapter 6 - Improved

Although I wanted to get back to the main story with Dracula and Jonathan Harker, one thing that I did notice in particular was the very stereotypical Gothic objects that were included in the beginning of the chapter. The main ones were ruins and tombstones and I felt that this gave a very Gothic atmosphere.

Another thing that adds to the atmosphere is the talk of death ("the Angel of Death"). This also creates a Gothic atmosphere.

Also, the story seems to be linking up to Dracula again as the letter from Jonathan Harker is talked of. I now begin to feel that this part of the book and Jonathan Harker's diary will eventually link together. It intrigues me as I wish to know what the result of this link will be.
