Death and how it is connected to the power of evil
The themes of death and evil are interconnected throughout this entire novel because everybody who dies was seen as evil to society in some way. Lucy for instance, was killed only after Dracula had gained control over her and turned her vampire; whereas, Renfield was killed because society saw his mental disabilities as evil. The reasons for all of their deaths were different, as seen above, but it is the common theme that relates to them all that truly portrays the one of the profound ideas throughout the novel that evil destroys, and that once you are lost to evil you can only fall to it or rise above it, but that only the strong, such as Mina, will have the power of rising above it.
