HOLD UP
Jonathan describing Dracula’s hands back in May:
“Welcome to my house! Enter freely and of your own will!” He made no motion of stepping to meet me, but stood like a statue, as though his gesture of welcome had fixed him into stone. The instant, however, that I had stepped over the threshold, he moved impulsively forward, and holding out his hand grasped mine with a strength which made me wince, an effect which was not lessened by the fact that it seemed as cold as ice“
Jack Seward describing Jonathan’s hands now:
"We men are all in a fever of excitement, except Harker, who is calm; his hands are cold as ice.”
“It will be a bad lookout for the Count if the edge of that “Kukri” ever touches his throat, driven by that stern, ice-cold hand!”
Both of their hands are described as strong/stern, and cold as ice…
Dracula, starting out as a white-haired, bloodthirsty, strong, cold-handed horror whose actions have his victim, Jonathan Harker, desperately trying to get back home: Ha ha, love this for me! Now to narratively steal your identity as a dark-haired young Englishman and go about enjoying myself with no expectation of violent interruption
Jonathan: Oh, so you’re not using the old identity anymore? I can just have this? 🙂
Dracula: what
Jonathan, white-haired, bloodthirsty, strong, cold-handed horror whose actions have his victim, Count Dracula, desperately trying to get back home: Thanks 🙂 🔪
