"Our ways are not your ways"

Something I find interesting in the first chapters of Dracula is when he is telling Jonathan where he is allowed to go in the castle. He states, "You may go anywhere you wish in the castle, except where the doors are locked, where of course you will not wish to go. There is reason that all things are as they are, and did you see with my eyes and know with my knowledge, you would perhaps better understand" (26). I find it strange how much Dracula sounds like God speaking in the Old Testament. This is even more evident as he continues saying, "Our ways are not your ways, and there shall be to you many strange things" (26-27). These quotes seems to say that it is necessary for there to be limits to our knowledge, and if we were capable of seeing more than we do, we would understand why. Humans must have boundaries for a reason. It makes me think of God telling Adam and Eve not to eat from the tree of knowledge. Its interesting that there are certain connections between God and Dracula, especially when examining the ideas of different levels of knowledge and control.
