Discuss Bram Stoker's Dracula

Why did Mina still love him after she found out he was responsible for Lucy's death? I don't know about you but if I knew this guy killed my best friend, I would probably kill him myself. I guess she was already in too deep to get out?

Because you can't turn your feelings off and on like a light switch.

She's already fallen hard for him, part of his powers of being a vampire is magnetism and thrall...He has this intense sexual edge, so he's not your average male, and she's not your average female...She lives in a very repressed society and this character has affected her like no other.

He's on top of her and she's ready to have sex with him in the beginning of the scene, She's totally turned on and she 's married too to Johnathon, but common sense doesn't apply here, It's clear Dracula/Vlad is like no other.

Also, she's the reincarnation of his wife...the Dracula/Mina plot is soul-mates, so it's not your normal love story..there are incredibly strong feelings involved.

"I've crossed oceans of time to find you"

and he's directing that obsession and love at her...so she makes it clear in the bed scene...She begins beating him "You killed Lucy" but breaks from it in helpless resignation.

"Oh god i love you..I do i do"

She simply can't help loving the monster, and she wants to leave her life and become what he is which means all the earthly stuff won't matter anymore...And from a subtext POV it means Victorian ladies can throw off societies shackles and be free to explore the more exotic.

Yes. In general women love bad boys no matter what they have done and Dracula is the leader of the pack here.
