Paragraphs 2 and 3: Jonathan Harker, an English lawyer engaged to Mina,
travels to Transylvania to close business with Count Dracula. At the Count's
castle, Harker discovers Dracula's strange nature and becomes his
prisoner. Dracula gives the vampires a kidnapped child to prevent them
from turning Harker into a vampire. When the boy's mother arrives at the
castle, Dracula orders the wolves to attack her. The Count decides to travel
to London in a coffin with Transylvanian soil, since he needs to rest in his
homeland to maintain his strength.
Jonathan Harker travels by sea and land to reach his destination while Mina
decides to spend the summer with her friend Lucy in Whitby. Lucy, affected
by strange symptoms, is attacked by Dracula and becomes a vampire.
Meanwhile, Harker escapes from Dracula's castle and is rescued by nuns,
but falls ill. Mina is contacted to take care of him.
In London, Lucy worsens and seeks medical help. Dr. Seward and Van
Helsing try to save her without success. Finally, after his death, they
suspect that he has become a vampire. They guard his grave and, upon
opening his coffin, discover that he has become undead. Lucy, now a
vampire, attacks children, prompting Van Helsing and others to intervene to
stop her.
Dr. Van Helsing secures Lucy's grave with sacred items and, together with
his companions, seeks to eliminate her to free her soul. Meanwhile, Dracula
attacks Mina again, binding her to him. Despite several failed attempts to kill
Dracula in London, he manages to escape and heads back to his castle in
Transylvania. Van Helsing's allies, including Mina, pursue Dracula. On his
journey, Dracula diverts a ship and eventually returns to his castle. During a
break in their journey, the three vampires try to tempt Mina, but are repelled
by Van Helsing with sacred items.
At dawn, Van Helsing eliminates the vampires in the castle by using stakes
through their hearts. Then, along with Mina and her friends, they pursue
Dracula and his followers. In a confrontation at dusk, during a snowstorm,
they kill Dracula while he was traveling hidden in an earthen coffin.
Jonathan and Morris manage to mortally wound Dracula, ending the
vampire's reign. Mina, witnessing Dracula's destruction, observes his
peaceful countenance, and the mark of the sacred host disappears from his
forehead.

Transylvania to close business with Count Dracula and ends up as a
prisoner in his castle. Dracula travels to London, turns Lucy into a vampire
and unleashes chaos. Van Helsing, Mina, Jonathan and their allies fight

Transylvania, where they defeat Dracula, restoring peace and symbolizing
the victory of good over evil. The story highlights courage, friendship, and
sacrifice in the fight against darkness.
