I haven't read the book in ages, but i remember being outraged that the one character who Dracula had bit kept being *bled* to 'cure' her. As if she wasn't down enough pints already.

And the general 'hysterical woman' theme never made me happy. But yes - something a little less...romantic would be nice.

Er... Was Lucy bled? She was given multiple blood transfusions, iirc.

Like I said, haven't read it in ages, so my memory is a bit fuzzy.

... yeah, I think your memory is letting you down there. Once Van Helsing shows up, he straight up says that Lucy's suffering from blood less and requires transfusions. He doesn't bleed her. And I don't recall any "hysterical woman" theme in the book.

IIRC, the subject of hysterical women did come up, but it was Dr. Seward pointed at Van Helsing. When they're in the carriage after the funeral and Dr. Van Helsing figures out what Lucy's become, he has a bit of a meltdown and goes into hysterical giggling, and Dr. Seward is extremely Victorian and uncomfortable with this fit of womanish hysterics and wonders if he should slap him like you do with women. They don't actually treat Mina that way, if I remember right. Well, they do ignore her symptoms and connection to Dracula at first, but the subsequent attack on her cures them of that right quick.
