#i think the ophelia allusion might be doing foreshadowing work but i haven't read dracula before

[ID: text from Dracula that says “brings nothing but sweet dreams. Well, here I am to-night, hoping for sleep, and lying like Ophelia in the play, with ‘virgin crants and maiden strewments.’ I never liked garlic before, but to-night it is delightful! There is peace in its smell; I feel sleep coming already. Good-night everybody.” End ID]
blorbo from my plays!!! blorbo from my plays!!!!!!
i think there’s definitely something going on w this allusion not just cause of the ophelia allusion and flower symbolism but also- hamlet does a lot of connecting the concepts of sleep and death, and lucy has been having more and more agitated sleep as she goes to her un-death.
