This chapter is made up of three parts - Mina journal , Dr. Seward`s diary and again Mina`s diary.
Mina `s jounal
This is a really great twist in the story as it leaves Jonathan`s point of view behind and follows the life from Mina`s point of view. Mina`s journey is really exciting to read as it gives readers smallest of the details and describes the surroundings in great detail ,so we as readers can picture the surrounding really well while we read it. This journal is about her meeting with Lucy and describing the place she is in. They talk about their love life at the enf of the day and Lucy talks about her upcoming wedding where mina feels a littel heart-sick as she hadnt talked to Jonathan for a whole month.
At the next part of her journal she expresses her sadness about Jonathan and Lucy. She talks about Lucy`s sleepwalking problem and a suspicious letter from Jonathan which she tells that he would never write like that. She also gives littele details like Mr. Holmwood being called because his father is sick and shows concerns for Lucy thinking that she would be lonely without him. She herself is feeling lonely without Jonathan and is constantly worrying about him. She is also concerned about the bad strom that is going to hit the country.
The journal starts from him talking about one of his patient whom he feels is really interesting. He then goes on describing about his patients habits and how he has weird pet hobbies like catching flies and spiders. He also tells that his patient might not exactly be wha he seems and may have some greter problem inside of him as he keeps on jotting down things hie notebook, the one he always keeps with him. At last he talks about how he wants to only be hopeless and work after Lucy`s rejection on which he doesnt show any anger towards her or her love.
Chapter 7
This chapter consists of a really long newspaper atrticle about a strom and is followed by Mina`s journal.
Newspaper article
The newspaper aticle is about the sudden strom disaster that hit the nation by surprise. This could be the storm that Mina was talking about in the previous chapter.It is shown that many people were caught in this storm and many of them died.
Mina`s journal
It was the night while the atrom took place and both Mina and Luvy were very restless and couldnt sleep. But, somehow Lucy got slept and woke up twice and dresses herself ,but fortunately Mina wook up just in time to undress her without waking her up and making her lie on the bed.
Next day they both goes to attend the funeral of the sea-captain.She explains that Lucy seemed restless but didnt knew the reason herself. Captain also had a face full fear and horror and people told that he died which he was fallen back from his seat as he was frightened. I think that the death of the man was really suspicous beacuse of his face and what the doctor told them.
