Dracula

Stoker creates a sense of horror in Jonathan's encounter with the women by describing their predatory behavior, with their seductive yet supernatural allure. The women exude a sense of otherness and malevolence, enticing Jonathan while also instilling a feeling of danger and unease through their unnatural actions like scaling the walls and behaving like predatory animals. This juxtaposition of seduction and violence adds to the eerie and unsettling atmosphere of the scene.
