In more detail...
Upon waking up on May 5, Jonathan Harker is astonished by his arrival at the foreboding Castle Dracula. He is met by Count Dracula himself, who impresses Harker with his strength and strange intonation. The castle is a gloomy, entrapping fortress with no visible escape. Inside, Harker is comforted by a well-prepared room and meal, though he dines alone as the Count does not eat with him. The following dawn and the subsequent days are filled with strange occurrences and discoveries, including the Count's peculiar behavior, the absence of mirrors, the lack of servants, and the Count's vast knowledge of England through his extensive library. Harker also becomes aware that he is essentially a prisoner in the castle, realizing all exits are locked and the castle is situated on a perilous precipice.
