"I could hear a lot of words often repeated, queer qords, for there were many nationalities in the crowd...'Ordog'-Satan, 'polol'-hell, 'stregoica'-witch, one being Slovak and the other Servian for something that is either wereworlf or vampire."
From what I've read so far, I feel like this was the most significant passage that I've come across. In a way, Stoker made it easy for me to tell you what he was using as literary devices. Since the tone of this is obviously harsh, the diction is going to be harsh as well. Obviously if the people were calling Harker nasty names, I would expect the words to have harsh sounds. I also feel like this is forshadowing something negative for Jonathon Harker in the future.
Sorry about the blog being a day late
