Immediately catching Arthur Holmwood, Quincey Morris, and John Seward’s attention upon their meeting, Miss Lucy Westenra’s flirtatious and constant drive of being desirable set the stage for the storyline. This trait is evident in her patterns of continuous marriage proposals. The fact that she is of virtue, innocence and physical beauty, allures each of her suitors. Lucy is engaged to Arthur, when telling the other men that she can not be with them she cries and wants the best of everything, as even the tone of her voice carried the message: “Why can’t they let a girl marry three men, or as many as want her, and save all this trouble?” (Stoker 68). Even though she catches herself to this “heresy,” the statement concludes that her desires cannot be reached (68). This may have made no difference to the men, but the fact that she is sexualized, which was fully stated by the letter between Mina and her, gives readers a feeling that she will somehow cause Arthur pain or cause her to get in trouble; being a victim of the Count. Her flirtatious personality foreshadows Dracula’s first main victim. All of this only adds to the mystery of Dracula. Miss Lucy’s flirtatiousness and being desirable set the stage for the storyline by foreshadowing what will come to her fall to the dark side and adding to the suspense of the novel. It seems that the conflict will revolve around Lucy, making her a significant character.
