Dracula pg 23

" I am all in a sea of wonders. I doubt;I fear;I think strange things which I dare not confess to my own soul. God keep me, if only for the sake of those dear to me!"


This quote is about describing how he feels being in Dracula's house. First the author uses a metaphor by saying that he is in a sea of wonder. He really is not in a sea but with everything he is seeing and feeling, he is overwhelmed with feelings. Next the author uses parallelism with "I doubt; I fear. " This connects the two feelings together. You can tell by the diction that the author uses that Jonathan Harker is scared for his life because everything he has seen so far is unlike anything he is used to. The tone of this is very spooky. It is like you are in a scary movie or a haunted house. It gives this because you can tell the fear that he has for his life.


I would also like to say that I am alittle late on this. My computer spazed out on me last night and it wouldnt send it when I had it all typed in.
