Seward agrees to share his diary with Mina in "Dracula" because he recognizes the importance of collaboration in their fight against Dracula. He values her insights and believes that sharing their experiences can strengthen their understanding of the vampire's threat. Additionally, Seward acknowledges Mina's intelligence and determination, making her an essential ally in their efforts to combat the dark forces they face. By sharing his diary, he fosters transparency and trust among the group.
Why is epistolary a good format for Dracula?
It was a common literary device of the time. Many other famous/popular novels were written largely through letters or second hand accounts, such as Frankenstein by Mary Shelley or the Coquette by Hannah Webster Foster.
In my opinion, Stoker wrote Dracula in journals and letters because the multiple narrators all have differing areas of expertise and different insights into Gothic magic: i.e., vampirism. Had Stoker written from one perspective only--say Jonathan Harker--it would be difficult to develop a complete understanding of the mystery of the vampire. In having his narrators speak to one another for chapters at a time, Stoker is able to delve deeply into the discovery of the Count's mystery without it seeming contrite.
