Dracula is set during an unnamed year in the last decade of the 19th century. The action begins with an English solicitor named Jonathan Harker traveling to help Count Dracula with legal matters concerning his immigration to London. Dracula is gracious and charming, but also unsettling. Jonathan never sees him eat, he has pointed ears and teeth, and he always ends their conversations just before sunrise. Jonathan eventually learns that he is trapped in the castle, which is also inhabited by three female vampires who attempt to seduce him and drink his blood before Dracula stops them.Jonathan escapes, and Dracula travels to London on a ship called the Demeter. The ship carries fifty boxes of soil that Dracula will use for his coffins as he hunts new victims in England.
Dracula pursues Lucy Westenra, the best friend of Mina Murray, Jonathan’s fiancée. Lucy begins sleepwalking at night and grows pale and weak; there are small puncture wounds on her throat one morning. Mina and Lucy’s fiancée, Arthur Holmwood, are worried but cannot help her.Dr. Seward, the administrator of an asylum, is a former suitor of Lucy’s. One of his patients is a man named Renfield, who consumes insects and birds in his cell. Renfield is secretly in league with Dracula. When Seward hears of her case he summons his mentor, Abraham Van Helsing. Van Helsing deduces that a vampire is preying on Lucy, but does not tell anyone until he is sure. By then it is too late. Lucy dies of blood loss after several transfusions spread across several days.
