When Mina and the others come face to face with Lucy, she notices that it is indeed Lucy but an odd and impure version of her. Mina writes in her journal, “Lucy’s eyes in form and colour; but Lucy’s eyes unclean and full of hell-fire instead of the pure, gentle orbs we knew” (226). This shows how the others know Lucy to be a sweet, harmless, girl but the reality at the time is that Lucy is not who she once was. Instead, she is a vampire who is cold, heatless, and cruel. Another example is when Dr. Seward is writing in his diary about Quincey dyeing. Quincey says, “Now God be thanked that not all has been done in vain! See! The snow is not more stainless than her forehead! The curse has passed away” (411). What Quincey means by this is that perilous and frightening Dracula has been defeated and that good had surpassed evil yet
