Traditional Weapons:
* Stakes: The most iconic weapon used against Dracula, driven through his heart to kill him.
* Holy Water: Though not a weapon in the traditional sense, holy water is used to weaken and burn Dracula.
* Crosses: The symbol of Christianity is used as a weapon against Dracula, burning him and driving him away.
Other Weapons:
* Sunlight: The most powerful weapon against Dracula. Sunlight burns him and causes him immense pain, eventually killing him.
* Garlic: Dracula avoids garlic, as it repels him and makes him sick.
* Wooden Stakes: While not specifically mentioned, the wooden stakes used to kill Dracula are likely made of oak, which is said to be a particularly effective wood for this purpose.
The Power of Belief and Ritual:
* Religious Symbols and Rituals: While not physical weapons, the characters' faith and belief in God are essential to their success against Dracula. They use prayer and religious symbols to strengthen themselves and ward off evil.
It's important to note that the effectiveness of these weapons depends on the strength of Dracula's will and the power of the person wielding them. For example, the characters in the book find that a simple crucifix is not enough to repel Dracula, while a strong man of faith can use it to drive him away.
