When reading Dracula, I found that the character Lucy was very interesting. The way she is described points manly at her looks and her general weakness.  “Lucy was looking sweetly pretty in her white lawn frock; she has got a beautiful color since she has been here” – Mina Harker.   She only severs to play the victim. Lucy is someone all the major charters have an attachment or love her when she dies.  She is a person who gives the protagonist there motive to start hurting down the vampire. Without her the plot in impossible, she is a miner charter in the book who servers a large purpose.  Lucy is the activating circumstance.
