We grasp the "map" of the novel as piecemeal, but follow the scarlet thread of the evil presence that has come to London from Transylvania, because we perceive that thread -- the outside evil of vampirism -- infecting the lives of Mina Murray, Dr. Van Helsing, Harker and Dr. Seward more intensely with every diary entry. Dracula: Ha! Van Helsing will explain. I can't die with all those lives on my conscience! Richter: But people cannot be ruled by power alone!
