This chapter about Lucy describes a fear atmosphere that includes fear, death and
elements of vampire culture. The author elaborates her physical appearance as pale face and
unusual wounds attributing to outlook of a vampire. Prof. Van Helsing tries to cure her because
he is a master of vampires however this process only reveals that Lucy is uncurable. Even though
she passes away, she comes back to her funeral with bloody mouth showing that she is possibly a
vampire.
I think the story of Lucy is a brief description of transformation to vampire. The way she
dies and her transformation from human body to a vampire demonstrates that how vampires feed
themselves and how they become immortal. Her process also mirrors how other people and
society face with fear and death.
