Dr. John Seward
Dr. Seward runs the insane asylum near Dracula's new estate. He is one of Lucy Westenra's suitors, but he is rejected in favor of Arthur Holmwood. A supremely rational man whose work among the insane seems at times to have taken its toll on him, he is initially skeptical of Van Helsing's theory. His diary, kept on phonograph, makes up a substantial portion of the novel.
