In short, the novel Dracula contains many different themes. The most obvious theme is fear. In the whole book, the way of expression of fear differs greatly, but the fear caused by more or less the same influence is that it is also an unpleasant and intense emotion caused by expectations and consciousness of danger. There is fear when a stranger is "suddenly appearing" or doing something unexpected. The main character Jonathan Harker faced various moments in the story. He showed fear of Earl Dracula, fearing his wife Mina and fearing himself. Consequently, faced with the challenge of the hero Jonathan Hacker to overcome it, fear plays an important role in the conspiracy development of this novel.
