I have just finished reading this Victorian classic and I figured I would see if anyone else has read it. I also want to discuss the book too because I need to right a paper on it, and frankly, I want to see if my ideas are good. I could use sparknotes.com but I feel a discussion is more intellectual and more rewarding.

So here is my idea.

The book, although about a vampire, seems to revolve heavily around the idea of love. For one, Harker's love to Mina is undying and a key source of his physical and mental determination. Also, Seward's, Arthur's and Quincey's love of Lucy all weigh on their minds, seeing as how all are refined gentlemen but they still weep openly for Lucy.


These are my ideas. Any discussion would be appreciated.


*I'm not looking for someone to do my work, just to talk about the book.
