Yeah the foreignness of Dracula was I think supposed to be part of what made him scary, and not just that he was foreign but that he was from the areas of eastern Europe that were considered to be more savage and scary for various reasons. (Personally I found the various peoples there very interesting and would like to read more about that time period and the various countries there, and how those borders have changed. Even in the modern day we hardly learned about countries in eastern Europe in history/geography in school which was pretty dumb.)

The one thing that really frustrated me about the book is when Mina is getting attacked by Dracula, and it's SO OBVIOUS what's happening and it takes them SO LONG to figure it out. Very frustrating.

YEAH the minute they were like "huh Mina looks a bit pale" I was like DID YOU JUST FORGET EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED TO LUCY, EVEN THOUGH SHE'S ALL YOU TALK ABOUT, WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU NOT ALARMED??? That just seemed really dumb.
