JONATHAN HARKER

Jonathan Harker is a man who is sent by Mr Hawkins, his boss, to Transilvania, to drive a bargain with count Dracula, a count who lives in a castle in a Carpathian Mountains.
During the journey Jonathan is scared by the people he meets that tell him horrific stories about the castle but he countines his journey. When he meets Dracula he thinks that the count is a strange person and he notices rapidly he is in trap in the castle and that Dracula is a vampire, so he begins to look for a way to escape.
Secretely he tries to visit all the room of the castle but a lot of them are locked, during one of his “tours” he has a dangerous encounter with brides of Dracula but the count saves him.
Then, after some attempts, Jonathan manages to escape from the castle and finds a refuge at a convent. After that he joins with the other characters to kill Dracula, they destroy the crates of ground that the count had construct and at the end they manage to kill Dracula, and Jonathan and Mina, some years later, have a son that name Quincy, in honour of Quincy Morris.
Harker is presented as the protagonist of the story but he is a static character, in fact he has a role established from the begin of the novel to the end.
