#lol jon my man u are a lawyer and youre still acti
i’ve noticed in the dracula daily tag that a lot of people are assuming that by “solicitor” the book means that jonathan harker is something like a real estate agent, and while i appreciate the jokes, i would like to offer a correction:
this man is a LAWYER.
solicitors can deal in things like property law. when jonathan notes in his journal that mina wouldn’t like him calling himself a mere clerk because he passed the examination and is now a solicitor, he’s likely talking about the bar exam for lawyers. this man is licensed to advise on laws.
i tell you this because reading about this man refusing to ever question anything weird happening to him while blue fires and wolves circle around is much funnier when you know this man is theoretically practiced in law. he’s an educated man but such a dumbass that all you need to do to stop him from leaving a spooky castle is feed him roast chicken. he can list off property laws but shrugs at the fact that his new client count dracula is the weirdest motherfucker around. jonathan my good sir please get a clue.
