chapter 6 and 7

I found the descriptive choices of chapter six very interesting especially explaining the sea and the buildings around them make it sound like a very peaceful yet busy place to live in. So far in this chapter i am very bored and this is still because i am longing to know about John and feel almost used that Bram Stoker purposefully dragged me into John's story and then just decides to stop it at the point of its climax.
Anyway, i like the little old man in this chapter he is quite quirky and speaks his mind although to be honest i didn't understand a single word he was saying. I managed to get the gist that every tombstone is a lie which is a pretty bold statement and yet you let him have his theory because he is an old man.
Dr Sewards diary is really interesting especially his subject. This book has given me a lust for lunatics so when Bram gives the reader one from an actual asylum reprocutions of Dracula instantly make the reader jump into the case of Reinfield. The depth of insanity that this character has is really interesting especially since he has all these animals and seems to want to consume life, again, reflecting Dracula but on a smaller scale. Dr Sewards diary may be a good replacement for John's account as i can easily see something going wrong with this patient.
Finally this "thrilling" chapter ends with the little old man saying he is nearly dead which made me feel a bit down as i wanted him to have a bigger part in the novel (perhaps having been included in the killing of Dracula).
chapter seven kicks of with a bit of strange events. I like the fact that Bram has made a place of perfection and politeness and is now setting about making it inhumane and dark. The Russian ship is very intimidating and quite unwelcome in this happy place and the captain tied up makes the whole story even more interesting. When the reporter writes out the captains notes it really builds the tension for what actually happened on this ship.
Well by God the sly old dog is back again! I have to admit i did miss Dracula and now he has come to torment this happy village. The captain's notes were very Gothic and scary with a kind of Agatha Christies Esq about them cause of people going down one by one. Now Dracula is back my interest is back to the book and i can't wait to see what he gets up to.
