chapter 5
well that was a random change. it goes from Jonathans diary extracts to an exchange of letters between Mina and a girl called Lucy. i wonder if this will be at all relavent to the story as a whole. we also read letters of men that have proposed to Lucy. I would like to know how this fits into the story aswell. this i think has taken the scary and tense atmosphere down a few notches and provides some rest-bite from the tension of the novel. i found this chapter a suprise as i thought that it would be a story told entirly by Jonathan Harker. i think that these letters by other characters will have relavence to the plot as i think that they would not be in there if they weren't. but how they are going to aid the plot i am intrested to see.

A gut reaction post - good! You are possibly right in that it provides RESPITE (check spelling!) from the tension - although others have argued that it prolongs and heightens the tension because you're waiting to hear more of JH's story!
ReplyDeleteTake care with capital letters please - you are after all writing this as an AS student of English!
