    women were his Mother, Grandmother, and wife. All three were vital influences on him, and made him who he is in the present day. My interpretation focuses on those women more than any other factor in Russell’s life, most importantly, his mother Lucy Elizabeth.

Stoker knew bloods importance in vampire history and used the overwhelming symbolism to convey his own personal lust and sexual obsessions.

As Tony Tanner stated, Jane's "narrative act is not so much  one of retrieval as of establishing and maintaining her identity" and this can  easily be extended to Lucy. Indeed in Villette the importance of language  to proclaim identity, and therefore power, is demonstrated by Lucy's
