* UnreliableNarrator: Volume 2 sows some doubt about the accuracy of Mina's recounting of events, as she zig-zags between being a student at Whitby and being only a maid employed at the school, with her uniform occasionally changing mid-scene. Two obvious examples appear in Chapter 11:
** First, Mina subdues a hallucinating Arthur using her wrestling skills, earning Van Helsing's praise. But then the scene cuts to Mina at her typewriter. She muses "Perhaps that is too much," crumples up the page and starts again, this time showing Van Helsing snapping Arthur out of his delusion himself by splashing holy water in his face.
** Rather than ask for Mina's assistance in guarding Luke, Van Helsing politely dismisses her to return to her maid duties. However, on her typewriter, Mina describes Van Helsing welcoming her into the group.
