Help me come up with a thesis for my Dracula essay. I don't really know what to do. The question is: explore the development of a character in Dracula.
Absolutely; please find some ideas below:

• Johnathan Harker: Johnathan goes through quite a lot of changes in the novel Dracula. In the beginning, he is an effeminate and uncertain young man, easily taken in and manipulated by the Count. As his character develops and he becomes more violent and assertive, it would be interesting to discuss how violence from the Count is considered barbaric, whereas violence from Harker is presented as righteous.

• Mina Harker: Mina changes dramatically throughout the story. She is a constant companion to Johnathan, from his rescue in Budapest to the fateful carriage-top battle at the end of the novel. Mina's character could be examined in the light of how she is closer and further away emotionally from Johnathan at different times in the book and how this reflects Victorian discomfort with foreigners and infidelity.

• Quincy P Morris: Quincy is an interesting character as he says little but does much. Quincy is the 'good' equivalent of the Count - a violent and romantic foreigner that tempts Lucy. As his character is taciturn throughout much of the novel, at first glance, he develops little - but consider the parallels between the three foreigners in the novel. Also, consider how his death at the end of the novel is in tandem with the Counts. Is it accidental that both non-English perish?

I hope that helps! Let me know if there is anything else I can do.
