0:00 [Music] hello welcome to part 11 of project structure analysis so here is chapter 11 we've still got lucy ill and as we have a look through we have
0:46 lucy's diary to begin with and we've got some more dramatic irony because we know about these flowers we know that the garlic flowers the idea of protecting her against dracula that van helsing set up in his wisdom and obviously she's not being able to sleep because she's getting vampirized and then this is a nice kind of exophoric reference here we've got a mention of ophelia who is in hamlet and she has a tragic death she's a young lady who has a tragic death herself so this also works as foreshadowing what's going to happen to lucy as well and there is an unfortunate moment here where the professor van helsing is very excited because he
1:32 thinks his treatment's working for luke but uh oh unfortunately lucy's mum has uh removed them there are a lot of these horrible strong-smelling flowers about everywhere and she'd actually a bunch of them around her neck i fear the heavy odour would be too much for the dear child in her weak state [Music] so the mothers removed them so lowering and also even worse open the window so this is why van helsing's reaction is he had been able to retain his self-command while the poorest lady was present but he actually turns yeah before that he turns ashen gray so he's he knows that's bad news
2:18 the ish poor mother all unknowing and awful the best does she think does such thing as lose her daughter body and show and we must not tell her we must not even warn her or she die or they both die so van helsing doesn't want to alarm the mother that she's effectively condemned her to contend her daughter to death what a silly mrs western ra then uh there's going to be more of a more blood transfusion because obviously she'd have lost more blood overnight it is yeah lucy's diary again sorry and then we have and i thought he was a little bit of more dramatic irony as well because
3:03 i did not fear to go to sleep again although the bowels as in like the branches of the tree or bats or something napped almost angrily against the window panes [Music] so more vampiric action there and then we've got bram stoker adopting a different mode which is newspaper so we have another newspaper article here this one i don't think this is uh i don't think this is mean or this one i don't think so i can't see any reason why it would be i mean it could it could actually i don't know see what you think perilous adventure our interviewer
3:49 basically this is quite weird this bit because it's an interview with a zookeeper because there's been an escaped wolf and actually just describes really an encounter dracula but i'm not really sure why imported it is really i think maybe dracula's released wolves to help cover what he's doing maybe and always been hunting with wolves he likes wolves because he likes spooky is an affinity for spooky animals but anyway you've got a lot i highlighted this bit here because you've got a lot of a sense of dialect created it's meant to be it's a bit exaggerated really but it's going to be suggesting like working class like london kind of cockney
4:34 accent it's meant to be excellent dialect so there's some good little bits here and there's double negatives and things and but it's probably a bit exaggerated but even here like the name but bursa cat it's been a berserker berserk it's been a berserker but i'm not sure how it's bursting it doesn't it's going to be berserker but he's using bram stoker's using what's called i dialect that is a really weird term it's e y e and then hyphen dialect i dialect which means writing a dialect down not necessarily authentically accurately of how that dialect would really be said using linguistic symbology but just writing it so it looks to the
5:19 eye so the reader reads it and it gives an approximation of what it sounds like that's quite a long-winded convoluted definition there but he talks about this wolf and but we do have a visit from dracula at the zoo dracula's taking us to the zoo tomorrow zoo tomorrow and we'll stop but look there wasn't much people about that day and closer and was only one man a tall thin chat with us and a pointed beard and a few white ears running through it a bit specifically there without the hairs he had a hard cold look and red eyes and i took took a sort of mislike to him for it seemed as if it was him they was irritated that so all the wolves were getting agitated he had white kid gloves on is that so this is dracula visiting the zoo
6:08 and maybe it's huge as i said did not like the years he gave he give himself he didn't get angry as i hoped he would but he smiled as an incident smile with a mouth full of white sharp teeth so it's definitely dracula and he demonstrates his affinity for the wolf because he says i've lost there he goes well i didn't highlight this sorry that's why i can't see it was an odd thing but when the ammo animal animals see us are talking they lay down and when i went over to berserk yeah he let me stroke his ears same as ever that there bang him over and blessed but if he didn't put in his hand and stroke the old wolf's ears too so he's expecting surprise that this stranger
6:54 you can just come up to and stroke the wolf and no problem you know like the zookeeper and he had this strange dialogue where well he think the zookeeper thinks that dracula he doesn't know he's called dracula but he thinks he's a maybe a dealer in wolves or anything and then he says he says not no says he's not exactly in the business but i have had pets of several and then there's another reference to one of our gardeners was coming home and that time from our harmony when he sees a big grade dog coming up through the guarding edges now that's either the escape wolf or that's dracula form himself so the wolf escapes as well so i i don't
7:39 know this is that my theory is dracula's going hunting with the wolf that seems to be the thing i'll always release the wolf to hide what he's doing and then people can blame the wolf for any trouble that he's causing himself i don't know that's my best guess then and yeah berserker comes back there's not too much story in this bit as well i'm kind of skipping over it a little bit it's quite fun and the wolf comes back and that's the end of the actual and it's going to just becomes this little that's here it's about the dr sue's diary a bit weird really but fun and seward talks about renfield gets agitated again as well
8:26 without into support he made straight up he had a dinner knife in his hand as i saw he was dangerous i tried to keep the table between us i got in my right that means a right hook he said he punches him doctor sorry punches him and knocks out or knocks and obviously knocks out but knocks uh remyfield to the floor he was easily secured to my surprise went with the attendance quite placidly simply repeating over and over again the blood is alive the blood is the life he cut he cut dr seward there as well and obviously redfield is kind of got this track um vampire fixation as well and the blood is the life for others of life is another deliberate corruption of christian ideas as well and he's worried about losing social service worried about losing blood because of
9:12 donating to lucy um van helsing ter van helsing sends a telegram to seward carfax but because van helsing's a foreigner what a silly billy he didn't put the county on so the telegram went to the wrong carfax it went to carfax in sussex and so then the telegram was actually late by 22 hours so he's meant to he's meant to have gone the night before but van helsing didn't address it properly makes me think always use the postcode anyway there's uh dramatic irony again there's been a lot in this in recent chapters there's some
9:58 horrible doom hanging over us that every possible accident should thought us and all we try to do i should take this cylinder with me and then i can complete my entry on lucy's photograph so we have more reference to the flapping at the window which is dracula appearing again and i went to the window and looked out because see nothing except a big bat which is definitely buffeting its wings against a window who could that be then we have um this is an interesting section where dracula actually attacks as a wolf in his wolf form the window blind blue back with a wind that rushed in in the aperture of the broken page there was the head of a great gaunt gray wolf as lucy's mother could have in the
10:46 struggle basically the flowers that around lucy's neck fall away so of course this is danger zone time basically i tried to stir there was some spell upon me my dear mother's poor body which seemed to grow cold already for a deer heart and ceased to be weighed me down i remembered no more for a while so she's attacked by dracula in his wolf form there's a nightingale here which of course is a bird that's famous for singing at night time and normally they've got positive connotations but they can represent darker things in the supernatural and there's an element of that definitely coming through here on that and then on the final page of this chapter we have
11:32 this is the decanter of sherry was on the table half four there's a queer acrid smell about are suspicious and examine the decanter it's spelt of louder than looking on the sidebar i found that the boss which mother's doctor used if her oh did use was empty so they're basically they've all been drugged there as well all the maids i've been drugged as well alone with the dead i dare not go out if i can hear the low howl of the wolf through the broken window oh hopefully i haven't spooked you too much there goodbye dear arthur if i should not survive this night good god keep you dear and god help me so we end the chapter with lucy once more in peril we're in dire peril right thank you for listening
