Key ideas in Mastering the Legend of Dracula
- Dracula has animalistic features like hairy palms and pointed ears
- Dracula begins the novel looking like an old man with white hair
- His teeth are notably sharp and white against his pale face
- Feeding on blood physically reverses his aging process
- His touch is ice-cold rather than warm
- By the end of the novel, he appears much younger and stronger
- Identify the specific physical 'red flags' Jonathan Harker notices during his first meeting with Dracula
- The progression of Dracula's physical rejuvenation through feeding
- The Count is a predator more closely linked to wolves than humans
- Physical traits in the novel reflect a character's internal nature
- Vampire bites often look like tiny, innocuous pinpricks
- Victims lose blood and become pale and weak (anemic)
- Victims often experience altered states of consciousness before turning
- Recognizing the signs of a victim who has been 'chosen' but not yet turned
- Vampires do not cast reflections in mirrors
- The mirror represents the truth of the soul, which the undead lack
