What I learnt further about my character continued...
At first I felt Lucy was an innocent little girl, before I learnt her age, before I learnt of get sexuality... She is a confused miss understood, mollycoddled woman, playing her was a very testing journey seeing as in order to play a character you have to truly understand them, otherwise you are merely just reading lines.
Her interaction with characters was that of a little girl, even Arthur, in my opinion it was almost as if she spoke to Arthur as she would to her father, which I think shows underlying father problems she had with her own father, perhaps due to her father's death, or problems she may have faced when he was still alive. She wants Arthur to look after her. Of course in her defence women in this period of time did have some sort of reliance on their husbands as they were traditionally the providers, whoever she doesn't interact or think of Arthur in the same sense as other Victorian wives would.
Super objective of Lucy in each scene (her purpose in each scene) in a way steal minas limelight, purpose in terms of significicance is to show Victorians lust and hidden sexual fantasies that were frowned upon within the society at the time, she also shows how people can have two sides and though it is debatable, how a sexual relationship can change someone, aswell as this, Lucy signifies adolescence and how people change as they get older, I think she is sure of her sexuality and she unlike her older sister Mina, lets her sexuality take over her hense why she "lets him in" (Dracula) I also feels that her whole life she had been mollycoddled by her sister and even though she acts up to being treated like a young child, she does wish to experience adult things and does wish to grow up, you can also see this through her engagement to Arthur which I also believe signifies her desire to show Mina how she has grown up, she is certainly jealous of her older sister and was used to watching her planning her wedding and through jealously I felt she "Had a Johnathen".
