Essay / Female Roles in Dracula - 1234
The question is where Lucy fits in, and the answer is somewhere in between. The reason is that at the beginning of the film, Lucy shares the same qualities as Mina. She also has the same morality as Mina. At the beginning of the film, three men are interested in Lucy but she refuses two of them and turns to the men she loves. The fact that Mina is her friend says a lot about Lucy's character. As previously stated, Mina possesses all the qualities that a Victorian man believed a woman should be like. The fact that Mina sees Lucy as a like-minded friend demonstrates how Lucy's character is portrayed as an example of Victorian style.
