Document Summary
Men go to draculas estate with apotropaic items. Rats appear (shows evil because rats are dirty, carry diseases, etc) Van helsing makes renfield feel uneasy because of the type of person he is. Mina and jonathon are staying in the asylum. Mina wakes up and her window is open, she sees the thin white streak. Mina could not sleep because she feels a white cloud in room. Cannot figure out whether she is dreaming or whether it is reality (same experience as jonathon) Seward asks renfield how he will account for the souls he ingests. Fears consequences of actions between good and evil like lucy. Renfield says if he obeyed dracula, he would provide him with creatures such as insects to eat. Renfield becomes angry that dracula is killing mina. Wakes up and dracula is stepping out of the white mist. Dracula threatens to kill her if she wakes jonathon.
