My class is doing an essay on dracula and I need help with a thesis statement. This is the topic I chose:

Question

Issue of Trust & Sharing of Knowledge-Is there ever a time when it is better to be kept/keep others in ignorance? How does this connect to the idea of establishing and overarching truth? What are the dangers in this? What does it exclude?

And this is what I have written so far:
I think that Stoker's intentions regarding the topic were to show that trusting in others really is important and is needed to achieve a goal. If the men hadn't brought Mina with them or told her of their events, she wouldn't have been able to figure out where Dracula was so that they could destroy him once and for all.
^ That's just some notes that i took, it's not part of the essay.
I'm just not sure how to start a thesis statement on this topic. Also, I'm not exactly sure what the "truth" is. Thank you!!
