Opening: It can be said that Dracula literally sucked the life out of Lucy. He sucks Lucy's blood continuously and does it multiple times. There are evidences in the text that Lucy's appearance is getting paler and her health getting weaker. Thus, Dracula is guilty for Lucy's death. When Dracula is prevented by the garlic flowers from getting close to Lucy, it is evident that her health recovers, but after Lucy's mother removes the flowers, we can see that her health gets bad again. Lucy has become a vampire because of Dracula. We see that Lucy doesn’t like the garlic necklace and the garlic flowers around her and tear them away when she sleeps. Also, her canine teeth looks longer than the rest of the teeth, according to Seward. These are all characteristics of a vampire.

Lucy continues to draw back (get pale) and get healthy again when blood is given to her. - page 112 last paragraph “she was ghastly, chalkily pale; the red seemed to have gone even from her lips and gums, and the bones of her face stood out prominently; her breathing was painful to see or hear.” page 116 (1st para 3rd sentence of Dr. Seward’s diary) “Her spirits even were good...” page 118 “There on the bed, ....”

On September 17, the flapping at the window shows Dracula as a bat. There is another bat that appears on Septemper 20th. When Lucy shows the characteristics of a vampire, or when Lucy is sick, there always was a bat on her window. pg 144 “I could see the the noise was made by a great bat, which wheeled round” pg 131 “I went to the window and looked out, but could seee nothing, exept a big bat, which had evidently been buffeting its wings against the window”

Lucy has turned into a vampire pg 144 “by some trick of the light, the canine teeth looked longer and sharper than the rest” pg 145 “I found that Lucy ahd moved slightly, and had torn away the garlic flowers from her throat.”
