Gothic characteristics in Bram Stoker’s Dracula

High emotion:

“i was afraid to raise my eyelids”

“I must have fallen asleep; i hope so, o fear, for all that followed startlingly real”

“there was a deliberate voluptuousness which was both thrilling and repulsive”

Women threatened by a powerful, impulsive, tyrannical male-

“i saw his strong hand grasp the slender neck of the fair women with the giant’s power draw it back, the blue eyes transformed with fury, the while teeth champing with rage, and the fair cheeks blazing red with passion”

“he hurled the women from him, and then motioned to the others, as though he were beating them back; it was the same imperious gesture seem used to the wolves”

“he exclaimed ‘How dare you touch him, any of you? How dare you cast eyes on him when i had forbidden it? Back, i tell you all! this man belongs to me! Beware how you meddle with him#, or you’ll have to deal with me.’

Crazed Laughter-

“They whispered together, and then they all three laughed- such a silvery, musical laugh”

“The other women joined, and such a mirthless, hard, soulless laughter rang through the room that it almost made me faint to hear”

Vampires/demons/ghosts-

“In the moonlight opposite me, were three young women, ladies by their dress and manner. I thought at the time i must be dreaming when i saw them, for, though the moonlight was behind them, they throw no shadow on the floor” 

“on the scarlet lips and on the red tongue as it lapped the white, sharp teeth. shivering touch of the lips on this super sensitive skin of my throat, and the hard dents of two sharp teeth,!”

“i imagined such wrath and fury even in the demons of the pit”

“They simply seemed to fade into the raise of the moonlight”

Dimly lit gloomy settings-

“the room was the same, unchanged in any way since i came into it; i could see along the floor, in the brilliant moonlight, my own footprint i had marked where i had disturbed the long accumulation of dust”
