Dracula is going to realize that he is about to be stuck in the castle. He can not get out because of the danger of the wolves. We talked about why Dracula would want a house that is so old and with chambers. He needs a prison-like house. Johnathon cut himself while shaving and gets uncomfortable by Draculas reaction to his cut. He was about to bite him but the cross necklace around Johnathons neck stopped him. He finally realizes that he is a prisoner in Draculas castle and he starts to get worried. Stories that Dracula shares shows that Draculas has been living for a very long time. Dracula has told johnathon than he must stay for a month. Dracula also allows Johnathon to write letters but he has to be careful because he would read them.

Christianity comes up. In chapter one the citizen were blessing him when they found out where he was going. He wears a crucifix that 'comforts him and strenghtens him whenever he touches it.'


Johnathon needs to wear the cross at all tmes. I think thats the only thing that can protect him from Dracla killing him. Well actually i dont really know that much about vampires so maybe that wont save him. He should start planning his escape though before its too late.
