Detailed explanation-1: -The relation to the new woman and this quote is that while Lucy is turning into a vampire, she becomes overly sexualized. Like other vampires around Dracula, her repressed sexuality is finally noticed, and she becomes the sexual aggressor instead of having men flock to her in attempts to gain her hand in marriage.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the novel, Lucy was turned into a vampire by Dracula for no clear reason, however, in the tv series, she is turned into a vampire by Dracula for betraying her ex-best friend, Mina Murray; by sleeping with Mina’s then-fiancé, Jonathan Harker.
