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.

As well as being useful, our possessions represent our extended selves. They provide a sense of past and tell us “who we are, where we have come from and perhaps where we are going”, says Russell Belk, who studies consumerism at York University in Toronto, Canada
The Knight is dressed in a tunic made of coarse material ; he wears a suit of armor that is stained by rust. He has a horse which he take care of it better than himself.
