Mina retains her intelligence and sensibility in this version, though now with a more acerbic and apathetic slant.

Spoilers
Due to rampant Victorian sexism, the men don’t tell Mina much of what’s going on and the result is that she is unprepared for a series of nighttime attacks by Dracula. Thinking they are just bad dreams, she doesn’t become aware of the vampire’s predations until the Van Helsing and co. storm into her room one night to find Dracula force-feeding her his blood. As Van Helsing explains, this infects her with his curse, so that if she dies, she becomes a vampire too. The only cure is to kill Dracula first.
In our continuation of the story, Mina’s curse is not lifted and she remains infected with what Dr. Seward theorizes is a virus.

Hello,
I recently found and purchased an absolutely beautiful, framed costume design sketch/portrait/original pen and ink of Mina, from Dracula.
The sketch is certified, stamped and signed by the world famous costume designer herself, Catherine Zuber. My understanding of this particular on stage version of Dracula that featured this Mina, originated in the La Jolla Playhouse in 2001 and later, in 2004, appeared on Broadway.
It is my sincere hope to sell this piece to someone who is truly a devoted fan of Dracula and/or Mina herself, who appears to have been somewhat “dupped” by Dracula. She strikes me as a very strong character, lovely and vulnerable…………it is a very beautiful piece & I may keep it because of that however, unfortuneately art is a luxury that I cannot really afford at this time.
If any of your fans, people from your Blog or another website might be interested in this gougeous sketch/pen & ink drawing, please feel free to have any interested party contact me directly at marypatsparks@aol.com or via my mobile: 619-261-6061 and I will provide them with photos, etc.
Most sincere thanks, Mary
Thank You!
