Importance of wolves

Wolves are animals that are at Dracula’s beck and call. They have a reputation for being “lone” creatures, which acts as a good metaphor for Dracula himself, as is their association with danger. Dracula has wolves do his bidding, as when he compels them to destroy a woman whose child he has stolen, as well as compelling the zoo wolf Bersicker to break into Lucy’s bedroom. Their howling creates a sense of foreboding.
