Mr.rod ferrel

do i feel that Mr.Rod ferrel was insane? Yes and no.. bacause insane can mean many things. Rod was a young kid just like me and he wanted to be a vampier so him and his friends and what started to be a game became reality in a split second. because he killed innocent people the father and mother of her x girlfriend because they would not let her go out that night i feel that was over board. Can you blame him some say yes because he took innocent lives but then some say no because he wasnt in the right state of mind.

Ms.Mina Good VS. Evil

what can you say about ms.mina. Many thinks shes good because she is the loving wife of johnthan and very considerite, but then on the hunt with for dracula she turns into a vampier because dracula bit her after he has hyponotise johnathan to take a sleeping pill and the gets mad at mina because she was willing to go on the hunt with the guys to basically have dracula killed, so have her suck his blood from his chest so he can have way more control over her. " Me and mina

good or evil!?

renfield is very questionable like sometimes he is very crazy and evil but othere times he is a good guy like he went from wanting to be just like dracula to kind of questioning his way of life after he found out that one you kill someone or something you take its soul. that really got to him and then dracula beat him up and he told everyone that was hunting for dracula information about him. so kind of renfield when from being evil to good witch is weird because i thought he was draculas most loyal follower. "be wise, and help us; and if we can we shall aid you to achieve your wish"page.259

Van Helsing

Since he made his first entrance in the book, I'd say Van Helsing has showed signs of being good and being evil. "May I cut off the head of dead Miss Lucy"? (Pg. 217) This quote demonstrates both his evil side and his good side. When Helsing asks Lord Godalming this question, Arthur freaks out and gets angry for him even asking.

Helsing is really brave and strong for even being able to think about what he has to do, and that is a good quality. At the same time though you have to have some evil in you to be able to crush the heart of a vampire and decapitate it as well. As you can see, Helsing has some good qualities but he also is slightly evil too.

Dr. Seward Bad?

I believe Seward is good mostly but at the same time is Evil more towards women like most of the men in the book. It also seems like his a follower of everyone and not being a leader of anything besides talking to renfield. But i believe his good because he does whats right for lucy and was also one of the people that saved lucy life by giving her his blood. Then again i believe his evil because him and the rest of the men don't believe women can be as brave as men or can be in the hunt for Dracula. He also is afraid Mina will get in the way of there work so they keep her alone and it seems that Dracula is making his move on Mina to make her his bride.

Dracula Good or Evil????

I think Dracula is a good example of good and evil because we all know he is evil but there is some good in there that only comes out once and a while.

The good in Dracula only comes out when he needs something done or if he wants something like when John is in his house and he finds those girl vampires and he says "How dare you touch him, any of you? How dare you cast eyes on him when I had forbidden it?Back, I tell you all! This man belongs to me! Beware how you meddle with him, or you'll have to deal with me." (40)

So i think the Dracula is evil but there is some good deep deep down in his cold heart.

] Good or Evil [

Dracula, the main charter in the book is the most evil person, although he could also be considered a good person, but with no heart. Deep down inside he has a sad heart. All his life he's been alone or so he told in the book. "I am no longer young; and my heart, through weary years of mourning over the dead, is not attuned to mirth." pg.24 He tells Jonathan how he feels after a long of being weary and sad over his possible dead family that had died over the centuries of thier life.

Evil the real side of Dracula, a man with no heart, no feels, super strenth, and the ability to not die over the long years. His only duty to live is to kill people and suck blood in order to live "happy". Dracula has been alone for so long, a couple of clues we can tell in the book are that he likes turning girls into vampires and only sucks thier blood, but it also seems that he likes to play games with the people around, some of the characters are; Lucy, Mina and Renfield. By having millons of rats appear, turning in dust, and becoming a bat to observe others and scaring them through out the book.

Good and Evil. A great question that everybody should think about when making choices and decisions on a everyday life basics. I believe that all people are good, I know society is a hard life to live in now these days but that doesn't mean by living in making the wrong decisions and harming others. There's also a point in life when sometimes your rasied in the evil side of life and that's understandable, but I think inside every person is the good...

Crazy=?

Mr. Renfield a patient of Dr. Sewards, a very curious and confuzed man. In the beginning he was very selfish and secretive. He loved the idea of animals and liked having him just didn"t treat them well but not by his own doing he just didn't fully understand... later on Dracula finds him and kind of cradles his mind and shows Renfield what he wants, making Renfield believe Dracula is in the right, making Renfield act in evil ways. But when Dr. Seward starts to question Renfield about souls he starts to question if Draculas Methods were right.. in the end Renfield gets attacked for questioning Dracula "his master" in doing so Renfield decides what side to be on and helps the group leaving Dracula's command. I believe Renfield was more good than evil and that he just didn't understand but when opened to the idea about the things he loved he started to realize the difference.

I think as a whole people have both in them, they naturally are good and evil and what happens in our lifetime and the things we see are what molds us to be what we are to become. Meaning what we do can be viewed differently by anyone but in our eyes it is are motives and views that justify whether what we do is good or evil.

Lucy Good and Evil!!!

I think lucys character is both good and evil becasue in the beging of the book she was good she was a normal young woman, through out the book she was still good but she slowly turned evil when she was turning in to a vampire. I dont think all vampires are evil there acts are evil. one example of lucy being good is she was always good because woman in the time period were always good they respected every one, did what they were told and were over all good people. one example of lucy being evil is when she turned in to a vampire she was sneaking out at night, harming little childrend by drinking there blood, therefor she is evil based on her acts.

a quote that goes good with this is when doctor seward is examing lucy cuz she is sick but what they dont know is she is slowly turning in to a vampire....

" lucy is ill; she has no special disease, but she looks awful, and is getting worse every day"
