Dr Van Helsing

Dr Van Helsing

We are first introduced to Dr Van Helsing when he enters a bar looking for his friend Jonathan. At this point the audiences get an idea that he is a confident character, this is because he walks into the bar, which has 6 men demanding answers to his questions. It is shown that he doesn’t think twice and asks the owner of the bar. It also shows he is a curious character this is because he asks why they have garlic plants all over the bar. Even though he seems to demand answers he is shown as a polite character, this is because he doesn’t barge into the bar screaming and shouting he uses a how tone voice and strolls into the bar.

Dr Van Helsing is shown to be a wealthy character; this is because he is wearing a top hat, a long fur coat, a scarf and black leather shoes. A character that is wearing all of these isn’t shown as someone who is poor. Also the he pays for a horse and cart to take him to Dracula’s castle, after the driver says he don’t want to go any further he pays the man for the whole horse and cart.

At the beginning of the Film Dr Van Helsing is portrayed as polite, but later on when he enters Dracula castle this image is transformed as he barges into his castle, this is down to him being worried about his friend Jonathan.  As  well this Dr Van Helsing seems a beneficial character, nearly in every scene he is in he is trying to resolve someone’s problems or help them , this can be scene as he is providing medical advice to Lucy’s maid and also he is helping the victims to kill Dracula.

and someone that don’t give up. This is shown for him being concerned about the victims. Moreover Dr Van Helsing is shown as determined because he keeps trying to find Dracula and preventing him from attack the other characters; even though Dracula does attack other he still tries to track him down.  He also know how dangerous he his , but this doesn’t prevent him from going into his house and investigating.
