Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -She is a paragon of virtue and innocence, qualities that draw not one but three suitors to her. Lucy differs from her friend in one crucial aspect, however-she is sexualized. Lucy’s physical beauty captivates each of her suitors, and she displays a comfort or playfulness about her desirability that Mina never feels.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lesson Summary Mina is first engaged to, and then married to Jonathan Harker. She is a devoted and submissive wife, but she’s also educated and intellectual. Lucy is a beautiful, pure woman who becomes engaged to Arthur Holmwood. She isn’t educated like Mina, but does hope to be a submissive wife.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lucy later meets and becomes seduced by Dracula who feeds on her and eventually turns her into a vampire.
