When Van Helsing found out what was happening to Lucy, he told Dr. Seward and after Lucy died, the men went to where she was buried and that had been weeks and his body. The sight they saw was “more radiant and more beautiful than ever; and I couldn't believe she was dead. The lips were red, perhaps redder than before” (Stoker 171). This sentence should indicate that Lucy turned into a vampire because Dracula sucked her blood. Jonathan Harker was also a victim of Dracula's games, but he overcame his mental trauma with the help of his wife, Mina. Dracula's reign of evil ways came to an end, and although Lucy lost her future, all of her friends were ultimately safe.
