When Dracula comes to town, you can be sure he’ll bring his whole entourage. This means that there should be a castle for Dracula to live in. Castle represents royalty, ancient, and power, which is a reflection of Dracula’s qualities. The two are linked together so strongly that in order to introduce Dracula into the world of Buffy, a castle appeared in Sunnydale out of nowhere. Xander and Willow has lived their whole lives in the town of Sunnydale, yet they are shocked to find a castle in Sunnydale. The castle is important for the plot to advance, as that’s where Buffy will confront with Dracula and triumph.
Similarly, Stoker used deus ex machina to allow Van Helsing to know the where about of Dracula. Just when everyone thought that all hope was lost after Dracula escaped their ambush, Mina said, “ I have an idea. I suppose it must have come in the night, and matured without my knowing it. He must hypnotize me before the dawn.” Out of blue, Mina was able to know where about of Dracula just at a time when they lost the track of Dracula, and she was also giving very specific instructions as to how the Professor could extract that information. It is safe to say that without Mina’s sudden realization of her link with Dracula, Van Helsing would not be able to track Dracula.
