In the novel, the main themes, religion and superstition, provide the characters with hope
  1. Religion provides the characters with a great deal of hope throughout the story.
    1. "She then rose and dried her eyes, and taking the crucifix from her neck offered it to me." (7)
      1. "My only comfort is that we are in the hands of God." (378)
        1. "When I asked him if he knew Count Dracula, and could tell me anything of his castle, both he and his wife crossed themselves, and, saying that they knew nothing at all, simply refused to speak further." (8)
        2. Superstition gives the characters hope by allowing them to think that they have a way to stop Dracula.
          1. "First he fastened up the windows and latched them securely; next, taking a handful of flowers he rubbed them all over the sashes, as though to ensure that every whiff of air that might get in be laden with the the garlic small. Then with the wisp he rubbed all over the jamb of the door, above, below, and at each side, and round the fireplace in the same way." (158)
            1. "It is the eve of St. George's Day. Do you not know that tonight, when the clock strikes midnight, all the evil things in the world will have full sway? Do you know where you are going, and what you are going to? She was in such evident distress that I tried to comfort her, but without effect. Finally she went down on her knees and implored me not to go at least wait a day or two before starting." (9)
              1. "He came back with a handful of garlic from the box waiting in the hall, but which had not been opened, and placed the flowers amongst the others on and around the bed." (179)
