   The setting is very important to the novel.  It is set in Transylvania during the Victorian Era. Much of the novel takes place in Dracula's castle, which is dark, dank, eerie, and oppressive.  The people in the town are frightened of Dracula, as well.  This frightening and foreboding setting definitely adds to the mood of the novel, and it influences future events in the novel.  Quite often, settings that are dark, dreary, and frightening will be a contributor to characters' reactions, actions, and motivations.
