One of Lucy’s suitors, Quincey represents the ideological view of masculinity. In contrast to Seward and Arthur’s more refined and patrician personalities, Quincey proudly parades his brute strength and brashness. As the only American in the British group, Quincey plays a significant role in the ending of the story. In the end, he sacrifices himself in his final vengeance against Dracula for Lucy. It is only his sacrifice that allows the group to finally cleanse the world of Dracula’s evil. His death shares parallels to that of Jesus Christ as it is a final act of liberation, and he is consequently reincarnated in remembrance. He has achieved a version of immortality that Dracula could never acquire – one of love and affection.
