This stoker's novel shows how fragile human existence was, and weakened the beliefs of free will and immortal soul. Stoker relied on medical sciences as a physiology and used much of the novel in his characters, brain actions that cast doubt on such beliefs as trance and somnambulism, dramatizing a very common fear at the time of the novel, the Victorian era. It was well portrayed the fear that at that time humans were soulless animals and followed only their physiological and cerebral instincts. The soul and the mind were in conflict. It was the religious faith of the time against the effects considered "paranormal", portrayed in the novel.

Explanation:
Diana Garcia's poem "On Leaving" is part of her "On Leaving | On Staying Behind" where she talks of escaping to the border. The escape journey by train would be the main focus of the short poem where she talks about how to be safe throughout the journey.
In the given lines, she talks of how her cousins had told her about<em> "those wearing yellow"</em>, people from their village. Such men with yellow bandanas are safe and would be there to help her for <em>"they speak our language, they are known to our village."</em> This presents a hopeful tone to the speaker, for it signifies her safety and that of her cousins who are with her.
Macbeth" relates the story of
someone who overthrows the King of Scotland by killing him. This is
similar to the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, when there was an attempt made by
a group of rebel Catholics to kill King James I and blow up the
parliament. In addition, the mention of the witches in Shakespeare's
tragedy coincides with James' enthusiasm with the subject of witches.
Another
important aspect of "Macbeth" is that it is the only Shakespearean play
that is set in Scotland. This helped to legitimize King James' rightful
succession to the throne of England, as he was the son of Mary Queen of
Scots.
