A scene after a tragic incident. Lucy lies dead infront of her love and loved ones - more beautiful then ever. Arthur then return to his home to attend his father`s funeral.Helsing personally wants to sort out all the legal matters as he feel that Lucy`s last letter should be kept out of people`s sight. They also find out that Lucy`s mom had asked to transfer her property to Arthur in case she died.Helsing talks about amputating Lucy`s head and taking her heart out for medical examination which Dr. Seward disagrees at first but then agrees after persuation. The undertaker decorated their coffin in a really beautiful way to perfectly suit them. Helsing then places garlic on Lucy`s coffin and puts a small golden crucifix on her mouth. Later, he sees a maid going towards Lucy`s coffin but doesnt think much about it as he thinks that she is just going there to pay her last visit.
Next morning, Helsing rushes into Dr. Seward`s room and tells him that they cannot procced with the operation as someone had stolen the crucifix and he even found out who did it. The funeral takes place. All the people wonder if she had really died as her face seems to be more beautiful than ever. She seemed like she was sleeping.
Mina writes in her journal that Jonathan saw someone when they were out and seemed to be really shocked. He called him Count but was surprised that he seemed young. She gets a letter from Helsing informing her about Lucy`s death and tells her that he wishes to meet her.She was worried about Jonathan and reads his diary without letting him know. She is shocked on what she reads and then typewrites it in case Helsing wishes to know about Jonathan.
Next day they meet and discuss about Lucy. After searching for an opening she starts to talk about Jonathan and hands him with his journal. Helsing is really happy to read what it says which throws a ray of hope on Mina because he says that Jonathan wasnt hallucinating and there is something wrong going on and they will think of a way to stop it.
There is a short article about a lost child and him found lyign in a very weak condition with two punctured holes on his neck. Helsing shows that to Dr.Seward and asks what he thinks about it. The immediate answer that Sr. Seward gives it that it might have been the same thing that did wrong to Lucy. But, to his surprise Helsing says that it was Lucy!!
Sunday
chapter 11-12
lots of tensions arise in these two chapters as we are told of Lucy`s conditions. At the start of chapter 11 Lucy`s conditions is said to be getting worse as her mother unknowingly took off garlic flowers from her neck. This time Dr.Seward performs blood transfusion as Helsing offers his blood in the hope of saving Lucy`s life.
For now Lucy gets better. Lucy also writes in her diary that she is feeling much better now and is starting to like the smell of garlic which she used to dislike earlier. On another hand, Renfield`s case seems to get more interesting as the days passed by. Dr. Seward mentions that Renfield came to his room late at night with dinner knife in his hand and slit Dr. Seward’s wrist and licked the blood that feel on the floor and went away right after that. This is an interesting incident because from his actions we may have come to know that Renfield might be a vampire.
Lucy writes down the incident that took place the night before and hides it in her breast so that people may know about it in case she dies. She writes down that she was feeling restless due to the unknown noise that came from outside her room. After a while, her mom came and she asked her to keep her company. Then suddenly something broke the window and came inside of her room- it was a wolf. In fear, Lucy’s mom grabbed onto anything that she could find in order to save her dear life but unknowingly she pulled out the garlic flowers from Lucy`s neck. Next thing that Lucy could remember was that her mother was dead and was lying next to her.
Next morning, Dr. Seward comes to Lucy`s house to check on her because Helsing sent him a telegram stating him to. But, no one comes to open the door after him severely ringing the bell. After some time Helsing joins him. they break into Lucy`s home after finding no one. When they go inside they are shocked with what they saw. Inside, Lucy and her mother were lying lifelessly. It was too late for her mother but not too late for Lucy. They did everything they could to bring Lucy back to life. They gave her warm shower and performed another blood transfusion. This time the one to give her blood was Quincey Morris. Lucy looked much better after receiving some blood. they sent Arthur a telegram stating Lucy`s condition and her mom’s death.
Meanwhile Mina writes a letter to Lucy saying that Jonathan was doing a partnership business with Mr. Hawkins. From this letter we are also hinted that she may not know Lucy and her mother`s conditions she says that she wanted to come down to visit her and her mom because they were ill. Mina sends another letter again saying that Mr. Hawkins had passed away.
Arthur arrives at Lucy`s home and she finally speaks up. But later that day Lucy`s conditions gets worse and she finally dies. Everyone in the room is shocked with this. Dr. Seward also mentions that her canine teeth were getting longer and before her death Lucy had talked in a different manner like she wasn’t Lucy but some other girl. After her death Dr. Seward says that everything is over but Helsing confuses him by saying that it is just a mere beginning.
