When Mina refers to the sealed diary as ‘an outward and visible sign’, she is referencing St Augustine: ‘an outward and visible sign of an inward and invisible grace’.
This is the definition of a sacrament. Mina’s trust in Jonathan, and his in her, is holy, and a means of grace for them, one to the other.
#dracula#dracula daily#mina and jonathan#marriage of course is itself a sacrament#but mina and jonathan create this additional one#which is more between each other than between them and god#and as we hear later jonathan would rather be damned with mina than live without her
