Bram Stoker was better known during his life as the personal assistant of the famous actor Henry Irving and the business manager for London's Lyceum Theatre than he was as an author. The Gothic tale 'Dracula' is perhaps the work for which he is now best known.

Mr. Hawkins writes to the Count, "...I am happy to say I can send a sufficient substitute, one in whom I have every possible confidence. He is a young man, full of energy and talent in his way, and of a very faithful disposition. He is discreet and silent, and has grow into manhood in my service."

Answer: 50

"Fifty cases of common earth." This is found in chapter 17. "It gave me almost a turn to see again one of the letters which I had seen on the Count's table before I knew of his diabolical plans. Everything had been carefully thought out, and done systematically and with precision."

5. Chapter 1: Jonathan Harker's Journal-Where is Mr. Harker travelling to in the beginning of the novel?

From Quiz "Dracula" - Bram Stoker's Greatest Work (Part I)

Answer: Borgo Pass

The beginning few chapters deal with Jonathan Harker's well-kept journal about his journey. He mentions many towns that he had been to...Bistritz, Vienna, Munich, and the like, but he is headed to Borgo Pass to meet Dracula's carriage.

6. In what form is the story "Dracula" told?

From Quiz Dracu and A

Answer: in the journals and diaries of the characters

Writing the story as told in the private correspondence and musings of the characters themselves was Stoker's innovative way of moving the narrative along, punching up the story's sense of urgency and menace and allowing the reader to witness the unfolding of events from multiple angles.

7. How does Count Dracula refer to the wolves in the forest?

From Quiz Oh No! Not Another Buffy Quiz

Answer: children of the night

Jonathan Harker had been terrified by packs of wolves as he travelled through the forest to the Count's castle. To hear them described as 'children of the night' by his host was something that didn't make him feel any less ill at ease.

8. When the novel was written, Transylvania was part of what country?

From Quiz "Dracula"

Answer: Hungary

Transylvania did not become part of Romania until after World War I.

9. Shortly after Dracula's arrival in England, Professor Van Helsing met with a group of people to discuss how they were going to go about destroying Dracula. How many people were at this meeting - including Professor Van Helsing?

From Quiz "Dracula" - Bram Stoker's Greatest Work (Part II)

Answer: 6

Van Helsing, Lord Godalming (Arthur Holmwood), Quincey Morris, Jonathan Harker, Mina Harker and Dr. Seward. This takes up a great portion of chapter 18. Van Helsing heads up the meeting, telling the group of the great chore that is in store for them.

10. What was Renfield, Dr Seward's patient, obsessed with?

From Quiz Bram Stoker's 'Dracula'

Answer: killing

He caught flies with sugar and then fed them to spiders, whom he in turn fed to little birds. He begged the doctor for a cat but, as he wasn't given one, ate the birds himself.

11. In what foreboding mountain range was Castle Dracula situated?

From Quiz Dracu and A

Answer: Carpathians

The Carpathians consist of a chain of mountain ranges in Eastern Europe. They form an arc 1500 km. long, stretching from the Czech Republic in the northwest to Serbia in the south.

12. What is Van Helsing's first name?

From Quiz Oh No! Not Another Buffy Quiz

Answer: Abraham

The shortened version of Abraham is Bram, that is why it is suspected that of all the characters in the book Van Helsing is the one that Bram Stoker identifies with. The actor who has portrayed Van Helsin in so many films is Peter Cushing, he is usually the nemesis of Christopher Lee who has probably played Dracula just as many times.

13. What are the first words Dracula speaks to Harker at the castle?

From Quiz "Dracula"

Answer: "Welcome to my house!"

"You are early ..." was spoken by Dracula disguised as the coachman when he met Harker at the Borgo Pass. "You have been expected ..." is a line from the film "Nosferatu, the Vampyre."

14. The horses were driven by "a tall man with a long brown beard." At first what was the only part of his face that Harker could see?

From Quiz "Dracula" - Bram Stoker's Greatest Work (Part I)

Answer: his eyes

"I could only see the gleam of a pair of very bright eyes, which seemed red in the lamplight, as he turned to us." This was what Harker could see at first. But then, "As he spoke he smiled, and the lamplight fell on a hardlooking mouth, with very red lips and sharp-looking teeth, as white as ivory." But for some reason Harker does not think this odd at the time. Very interesting.

15. Who did Count Dracula fight against in his mortal life?

From Quiz Bram Stoker's 'Dracula'

Answer: the Turks

He was quite successful.

16. When the ship "Demeter" carrying Count Dracula beached itself at Whitby what was the first creature to leave the ship?

From Quiz Oh No! Not Another Buffy Quiz

Answer: a dog

When the ship crashed on to the shore it was discovered to be empty apart from a dead man carrying a rosary, lashed to the tiller. As the ship was approached a large dog jumped out and disappeared into the town. Later in the book it is stated that Count Dracula left the ship in the guise of a wolf and not a dog as stated earlier.

17. Later, Van Helsing, Jonathan, Quincey and Lord Godalming go to inspect Carfax Abbey and find out how many boxes are left out of the original 50. How many are now left?

From Quiz "Dracula" - Bram Stoker's Greatest Work (Part II)

Answer: 29

21 boxes have been used so far. This would mean that Dracula hasn't too much time before he has to return to Transylvania. Also at this time, the Abbey becomes filled with rats. "A few minutes later I saw Morris step suddenly back from a corner, which he was examining. We all followed his movements with our eyes, for undoubtedly some nervousness was growing on us, and we saw a whole mass of phosphorescence, which twinkled like stars. We all instinctively drew back. The whole place was becoming alive with rats." Dracula's pet animals.

18. Who was interested in hunting?

From Quiz Bram Stoker's 'Dracula'

Answer: Quincey Morris

19. What is the name of our young English solicitor's fiancee who anxiously awaits his return to England?

From Quiz Dracu and A

Answer: Mina Murray

After Harker's escape from Dracula and his brides, Mina travels to Budapest to care for him after his harrowing ordeal. Her full name is Wilhelmina.

20. Who became Count Dracula's first victim after he arrived in England?

From Quiz Oh No! Not Another Buffy Quiz

Answer: Lucy Westenra

Lucy's mother had been so worried about her daughters habit of sleep walking that she invited Mina to stay with them to watch over her. Shortly after the night of the shipwreck Mina woke to find Lucy missing from her bed. After searching the house to no avail she went out into the town. At last she found her sitting in the local churchyard, but she was not alone, a dark figure hovered over her. Count Dracula had chosen his first victim since landing in England.

21. Later in the chapter, Dr. Seward visits his patient Renfield, whom we met earlier. Renfield is afraid for some reason to utter a word. This word is associated with "eat"--what is it?

From Quiz "Dracula" - Bram Stoker's Greatest Work (Part II)

Answer: drink

"I don't want any souls, indeed, indeed! I don't. I couldn't use them if I had them. They would be no manner of use to me. I couldn't eat them or . . ." It was during this conversation that Seward came to the realization that Renfield had been attacked by Dracula. The fact that he could not utter the word "drink" had vital importance, considering the fact that Dracula "drinks" blood. Renfield's conscience is obviously bothered by this word.

22. Harker suspected for some time that there were no servants in the castle. What did Harker see Dracula doing that confirmed this thought?

From Quiz "Dracula" - Bram Stoker's Greatest Work (Part I)

Answer: making the bed

"He did not come at once into the library, so I went cautiously to my own room and found him making the bed. This was odd, but only confirmed what I had all along thought, that there are no servants in the house." I doubt that Dracula would have even permitted there to be any servants in his castle--even for the rare occasion of a visitor.

23. Who was hypnotized several times during the book?

From Quiz Bram Stoker's 'Dracula'

Answer: Mina

When hypnotized, she could tell where Dracula was at the moment.

24. What is the name of Mina's best friend who she visits in the seaside town of Whitby?

From Quiz Dracu and A

Answer: Lucy Westenra

Lucy is considering no less than three marriage proposals at the time of Mina's visit. In her letters to Mina, Lucy tells of being courted by Doctor John Seward, Quincey P. Morris and Arthur Holmwood.

25. In a conversation with Harker, Dracula claims to be descended from whom?

From Quiz "Dracula"

Answer: Attila and the Huns

The Tsigane (spelled Szgany in the novel) are the gypsies who inhabit Transylvania; Vlad the Impaler was the historical Dracula (Vlad Dracul). He was not, as far as is known, a vampire.

26. While staying in London, Dracula leased several houses to use as hiding places for his boxes of earth. Which one did he lease from Mitchell, Sons & Candy?

From Quiz "Dracula" - Bram Stoker's Greatest Work (Part II)

Answer: Piccadilly

All 4 are houses that were leased by Dracula, and all were leased under different companies. We do not know who he leased West End and Bermondsey from. He has a fifth place, at Walworth, and one that has not been found by the men.

27. What colour was most often used to describe Dracula's eyes?

From Quiz Bram Stoker's 'Dracula'

Answer: red

28. Dracula sets sail for England aboard the "Demeter". Which of the ship's crew kills himself, rather than face being vampirized?

From Quiz "Dracula"

Answer: The First Mate

During the entire voyage, the ship's crew is uneasy, believing there is a strange man aboard. The crew then begins to disappear, and the First Mate discovers Dracula in his box in the ship's hold. Rather than face the vampire, he jumps overboard.

29. When Van Helsing, Harker, Dr. Seward, Lord Godalming and Quincey go out to hunt down Dracula, they set out to destroy first the boxes of earth in which he slept. What did they put in the boxes so he would be unable to sleep in them?

From Quiz "Dracula" - Bram Stoker's Greatest Work (Part II)

Answer: Sacred Wafer

"As he spoke he took from his bag a screwdriver and a wrench, and very soon the top of one of the cases was thrown open. The earth smelled musty and close, but we did not somehow seem to mind, for our attention was concentrated on the Professor. Taking from his box a piece of the Sacred Wafer he laid it reverently on the earth, and then shutting down the lid began to screw it home, we aiding him as he worked." The Sacred Wafer would keep him from going into his coffin--if he went in, the wafer would singe him when he touched it.
