The quotes below are drawn from Dracula by Stoker. Generally, the selected chapters talk about doing deals with open-minded people and the trust associated (Stoker, 2019). Besides, open views of the quotes are given to create visualized images.

1. “…to the search with an easy mind”-What is the significance of doing both legal and legal deals with someone who is flexible mind and thoughts, besides being ready to accept any changes?
2. “…It was a dread to me that she was in this fearful business at all”- How do someone’s daily activities pose a threat to other’s well-being and the general environment?
3. “…If that man wasn’t attempting a bluff, he is about the sanest lunatic I ever saw. I’m not sure, but I believe that he had some serious purpose, and if he had, it was pretty rough on him not to get a chance.”

As depicted by Mr. Morris, this is a person who has a fixed mind and not ready to work as per the majority’s wishes. In this regard, such a person is considered mad despite having positive intentions and objectives.

4. “…you know more of lunatics than I do, and I’m glad of it, for I fear that if it had been to me to decide I would before that last hysterical outburst have given him free.”

As depicted by Dr. Seward, John is in a better position when he understands how fix-minded people act and work. This is essential since he will understand how to monitor his moves and progress that will mitigate the rate to outburst the deal.

5. “I don’t know, but that I agree with you. If that man had been an ordinary lunatic I would have taken my chance of trusting him; but he seems so mixed up with the Count in an indexy kind of way that I am afraid of doing anything wrong by helping his fads.”

It is depicted that normal lunatics are trustworthy as compared to extreme lunatics. This implies that individuals who are open-minded with any idea are worth any lucrative deal and are trustworthy. Closed-minded people are disregarded in any deals because they may betray the main bosses in progress.
