big day today
Forced to say ‘Media is subjective and all interpretations are valid. Creative license is cool :)’ Born to say ‘Anyone who makes adaptations where Jonathan is a bad person so that Mina can fall in love with Dracula should be shot point blank’
Mina: "I have just had a few hurried lines from Jonathan from Transylvania. He is well, and will be returning in about a week. I am longing to hear all his news. It must be so nice to see strange countries."
Jonathan in Transylvania:
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.
Van Helsing is utterly shocked to find Jonathan not a broken shell, as Mina had described, but aura farming and ready to murder a vampire.
All because Mina chose not to shield him from the truth of his experiences at the Castle. Jonathan needed that reality check; far from destroying him, it remade him. The man who had spent months collapsing under the weight of unreality now stands changed. The trauma remains, but by knowing the wound is real, he can act again. Mina was right to ignore Van Helsing's advice to keep Jonathan in the dark.
My theory is that this is why Van Helsing immediately rushed to Seward’s office and dragged him to Lucy’s empty tomb. Seeing how well Jonathan responded to the truth encouraged him to imitate Mina, revealing the horrors to his shaken former student.
Stoker really likes to make his characters look like good and moral people and only takes the worst case scenario if the plot absolutely demands it, but also some of the things he implies are NOT good and moral because. Man the crew of light really unknowingly dodged a fucking nuke with the Harkers bc Jonathan was ready to sell them all out for his wife Friday the 13th style while Mina was looking at Van Helsing like he was a snack with a loaded revolver in her hand and a protective wafer circle can't stop a .44
