Lucy was focused on what she wanted for her own life, while Mina wanted to please Jonathan by learning shorthand and typing so that she could help him.

The roles of the characters in the story are also very different. Lucy, whose role is much smaller than Mina's, is important because she was the first victim of Dracula. She is the only one who transforms from human to vampire in the book. Mina, however, is important because of her help to the cause of defeating Dracula. Besides her intelligence, she could also be hypnotized to see into Dracula's mind. This way, the men could know where Dracula is at any time.

Another difference is that Lucy remained uninformed of what was happening when she was "ill". She had no idea she was becoming a vampire. Mina, however, knew that after the Count attacked her she would soon become a vampire. This information is the reason Mina lived.

In Bram Stoker's Dracula, there are two women who find themselves Count Dracula's midnight snack. Mina Harker and Lucy Westenra are best friends, but they are very different women. By comparing these two characters we can see the tension between the Victorian ideal woman and the threatening New Woman. Remember that when Dracula was written in the late 19th Century, women were expected to be submissive wives and doting mothers who stayed at home. This was the Victorian ideal. However, women were becoming more independent and taking advantage of new opportunities in education and employment. These New Women were a source of concern as they were seen as too masculine, too intellectual, or too promiscuous.

From the explanation above, what is your perspective or outlook of the role Victorian women played in society as shown by these two ladies? What can you interpret? Why do you feel this way? Explain and elaborate.
