Answer 1

What we can understand about Count Dracula's character from the excerpt is:

C. He is bored of the slow pace of Transylvania and wants a change.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Dracula" is a horror novel by author Bram Stoker. Count Dracula is the villain. He is a vampire who gains vitality and youth from drinking people's blood.

The excerpt we are analyzing here can be found at the beginning of the story, when the main characters as well as the readers do not yet know who Dracula really is. From the excerpt, we can infer that Dracula is tired of the sameness and the excessive tranquility of Transylvania, where he lives, and he longs for a change. He says he is excited to be among lots of people in a busy city. He wants to move to London so bad that he even learned English on his own.
