Jonathan discovers the Count's coffin!

Jonathan finds himself awoke in his own bed the following morning. However, finds it hard to keep his conscience satisfied with his knowledge.
Despites the presence of many unusual things in his room and events that had occured to him, with him, he still somehow fancies it as a sort of sanctuary for nothing could be more dreadful than those awful women whom he had seen the previous night.
Jonathan is portrayed as a highly intellectual character for his method of thinking and understanding with observation appears to be very healthy and clever as we can see him understnding more than what he sees. He brilliantly understands what is happening when he sees a mancarrying his belongings and some of the visitors outside.
He clearly understands that his life has been hanged in a delicate thread and acknowledges that he hasa very little time with himself as the Count announces that his final letters should be done by June 12 and June 19 which meant that Jonathan's work would be done be then and that he could be handed over to those women who had been waiting to suck his blood.
After all these hysterical phenomenon occuring every now and then, he tries to accumulate his knowledges to track a way out to escape and tries his best to figure out about what is going on for real by investigating the chamber where he had seen the women as well, as the one from where he had seen the Count crawling down the window in a lizard fashion.
He wisely hands over all the letters and journals that he had wrote to a guy so that he could take it to Mina, if in case he failed to return back.
Jonathan really felt agonised and helpless even to be as one as he could see and hear cruelty right in front of him yet he could do nothing but jus stay numb and quiet whilst seeing a woman cry for her son and then get eaten by the wolves.
He tried learning every possible rooms n ways he could get into if in case he could get the key to excape. He even tried crawling on the walls like Count in order to get into his room and this was when he discovered the heaps of gold that looked as if they were there since hundreds of yeas.
He went in through a heavy door in the corner of the room so as to examine more closely and find the key by any chance.
The passage was a dark, horrible place where the dim light struggled to pass in through. He came across fragmens of old coffins, fifty altogether, on a pile of newly dug earth lay the Count!

  1. Well summarised! Take care with grammatical constructions - especially verb tenses. What do you think of this chapter? Do you think it was effective?

  2. Yes as I can feel how helpless and sorrowful Jonathan had been at that particualr moment. The build up of tension and sympathy emphasizes the horror and gothic part of the story.
    We get to know about details that Jonathan had encountered wisely.
    This is when the characters begin to reveal their main motives and open up their reality. New characters are introduced.
