Mina, the fiancée of Jonathan Harker and best friend of Dracula’s first victim, Lucy, is the most complex character in the novel. She is essentially a never-ending contradiction. While she exemplifies the Victorian woman, she is equal in intelligence and bravery to her male counterparts. She is depicted as a mother-like figure but she is also depicted as a child. Though she is clearly a woman and described as feminine and submissive, her intelligence is equated to that of a man’s brain. But first and foremost, Mina, though pure and innocent, also maintains an evil, demonic quality for some of the novel.
