Upon reflection, the tendency of Dracula adaptations to treat Jonathan as a bit character is probably inextricable from their tendency to treat the episodes concerning his time in Castle Dracula as a fairly tedious piece of exposition to a story which truly begins with Dracula's arrival in London.
I know this is blasphemy, but I feel like Dracula is the one novel that might actually benefit from being split into multiple films. Do an intimate bottle-episode psychological horror piece covering Jonathan's confinement to and eventual escape from Dracula's castle, so in the next movie we actually have proper context for his whole... everything.

If James Spinlove is 30ish in 1924, do we think he served in WWI?

It is November of 1893. You have just killed a vampire. Exhausted and worn, you close your eyes and rest.
You wake up. It is May of 1893. You are on a train en route to Transylvania. Your diary says you have had queer dreams lately.
You try to believe it.
(An old woman puts a rosary in your hands. You accept it without question.)
You are a guest in a castle you have never been in before (you recognize every hallway and know without trying that every door is locked). Your host is a man you have never met before (you killed him you killed him you killed him he had turned to dust and there was blood on the snow).
One morning you cut yourself while shaving.
There is nobody behind you in the pocket mirrorβs reflection.
You turn fast, and the razor is like a Kukri knife in your hand.
Happy annual Dracula Paprika Discourse Day to those who celebrate!
Remember the bit in the book that's like -
Jonathan Harker: The only good vampire is a staked vampire.
Mina: I got bitten. I'm turning into a vampire.
Jonathan: No. We're turning into a vampire. Satan here we come.
The Harkers, after. π¦

After the tragic crash of the Demeter several days ago, a schooner sailing in from Varna, Whitby residents report the supposed attack of a massive dog which jumped off the ship after its landing.
π whitbyrando Follow
Why was there a dog... on a schooner. It would've been a health violation if one of the sailors brought it on, so did it wander onboard on its own. Just for fun. Literally what is the temptation. You're gonna die at sea there's nothing for you to eat. Are you stupid.

Hey guys! Breaking the gimmick real quick to let you all know I'm taking a brief hiatus. A lot of stuff has been going on in my personal life and long story short, now I can't eat garlic.

Lucy Westenra
Crucial to understanding the gender politics of Dracula is that when the men exclude Mina to protect her they are WRONG. They are manifestly wrong according to the text and it isn't ambiguous. Jonathan dislikes hiding things from Mina. It isn't natural to their relationship, which has always been one of equal partners. Mina hates it and is distressed by it. Once again Van Helsing and Jack are smugly sure it's the right thing to do, having learned nothing from Lucy's fate.
Everyone is all "I suppose we must play our gender roles as god intended" but the narrative lets us know this is a bad idea because it almost dooms them all. Dracula gets to Mina because they shut her out, even after it was her studiousness and thoughtfulness that brought them well over half the vital information they have. And they would not have defeated him without her. If he had killed her before they realized what he was doing, they would all have been doomed. They were a hair's breadth from losing everything due to their insistence on treating Mina like a helpless baby for just a few days. As it was, they lost plenty for taking so long to cut it the fuck out.
