The climax is one of the most important aspects to a great novel. An unusual way of presenting the climax is by leaving it for the end of the story. In most novels, authors tend to incorporate the climax in the middle of the story to allow for "falling action" and the "resolution". Stoker had a different view when writing Dracula. Throughout the story, there are many problems that characters must deal with, but none are so major that they cause a great turn of events. Stoker ends up leaving the climax for the end of the story and some may say that this is a huge literary mistake.
The climax takes place when Dracula attacks Mina, Jonathan Harker's wife, right in front of the Crew of Light (the group dedicated to destroying Dracula). He forces her to drink his blood, forming a connection between them that allows him to control her, but also allows her to see into his mind. Unless Dracula is killed, Mina will eventually transform into a vampire like Lucy (Mina's friend) did.
