Lucy Westerman

"Lucy Westenra is a fictional character in the novel Dracula (1897) by Bram Stoker. She is the 19-year-old daughter of a wealthy family. Her father is mentioned in the novel when Mina says he was a sleepwalker and her elderly mother is simply stated as being Mrs. Westenra. Lucy is introduced as Mina Murray's best friend. In the 1931 Universal production, she is called Lucy Weston. In the 1958 Hammer horror production, she is called Lucy Holmwood and is engaged to Jonathan Harker."

In this extract, it explains that Lucy is a 19 year old from a wealthy family, however what this doesn't tell you is that Mina raises Lucy and molly coddles her, hence why she acts so young, also in this extract (and this is very important to be pointed out), is that Mina is Lucy's sister not best friend, Liz Lochhead changed this to change the relationship and dynamics between the two characters, Mina and Lucy. 

There is a big transition within Lucy's character within this play as, she starts innocent with sexual desires and when her sexual desires are fulfilled she then almost becomes evil, this is symbolic of how evil victorians thought sexuality was and a huge representation of this can be seen within Dracula.

In this extract it does also say that Auther Seward is Lucy's fiancee, however his true feelings about her are questionable I feel, seeing as at the beginning of the play he says she is "Attention seeking" and refers to her as a "Little miss"- again referring to how young she acts, even though she is an adult legally.

I believe that the display of affection of just a show. Because he refers to his age at the beginning saying in his "20s" he wanted to settle down then "25", and "Now I'm in my thirties", this shows his desperation to get married rather than his care of who it is actually with.

In this extract also from Wikipedia it does say that Jonathan Harker is Lucy's fiancee however this is changed in this play to him being Mina's.
