The setting in Dracula is extremely important to the story. In fact, it adds so much more suspense, it's hard to put the book down. Castle Dracula, owned by Count Dracula, is full of horrific secrets. Not only does the castle create eeriness by its old rustic features, but the surrounding area does as well. In the mystic forest encompassing the castle, there lies violent animals including wolves that possess evil features in their own ways.
Throughout the novel, the setting seems to continuously appear being described. This shows that author, Bram Stoker, relies a great deal on the setting to complete the story. Stoker also relies on describing the treacherous weather. The weather allows for additional spookiness and creepiness. The weather is able to convey different moods and these moods have an affect on the reader and how they are supposed to feel at a certain part of the story. From calm, misty nights to very dark, stormy evenings, this book incorporates different events based purely on the weather.
