The presentation of Dracula....

Dracula is presented as being almost supernatural in appearance and countenance as he seems very strong for his apparent old age and "cruel-looking". His face is described as being "strong - a very strong - aqualine..." an his chin is described as "broad and strong, and the cheeks firm though thin". This suggests that his features do not seem to have softened with age as one might expect and linking back to Harker's earlier description of his "prodigious strength" he seems almost inhuman. Continuing on his inhuman qualities, he seems almost animalistic in appearance with "peculiarly sharp white teeth" and his "squat fingers" and "the nails were long and fine, and cut to a sharp point". His "peculiarly arched nostrils" could also relate to having animalistic features.
