#September 9

[thethirdromana]

IIRC, one of the standard academic takes on Dracula is that Mina is rewarded for being a dutiful wife (she learns shorthand, she travels to Budapest) and Lucy suffers for not being that (she has three suitors and wishes she could marry them all, etc).

Today's entry, and the commentary around it, makes me realise how little that holds up, so far at least. Lucy is so painfully dutiful - to her future husband, to her mother, to her friends, to her doctor - and all it's done is made her more vulnerable.

If she eloped with Arthur right now, she might be safe.

If she risked being honest with her mother, she might be safe.

If she put anyone to even slightly more trouble (Arthur, Jack, the servants) and had them stay up with her, she might be safe.

But she behaves like the ideal of a Victorian woman, always deferring to other people and putting their needs first. And that's why she's in so much danger tonight.

Animal of the Day!

Key Deer (Odocoileus virginianus clavium)

(Photo from Emily Michot)

Conservation Status- Endangered

Habitat- Florida Keys

Size (Weight/Length)- 30 kg; 65 cm at shoulders

Diet- Leaves; Grasses; Fruits; Roots

Cool Facts- The key deer is a small subspecies of white-tailed deer that lives on a small set of islands off the Florida coast. These deer are proficient swimmers and can easily swim from island to island. They have very little fear of humans and can be found munching on lawn grass or decorative flowers on windowsills. Unfortunately, their tameness has resulted in an increased number of car collisions. Throughout history, key deer were hunted by settlers and native tribes alike. Hunting was banned in the 1940’s but poaching caused their population to plummet to only 25 individuals by 1955. Luckily, their population is slowing increasing with the help of better enforced laws and mass habitat protection.

Rating- 12/10 (Please, don’t feed wild animals no matter how friendly they seem.)

Long before Pearl Harbor, and despite loud protestations of non-involvement by some, Americans were preparing for war. Here, a Boy Scout has his arm tied up in a splint after it has been dressed by Red Cross workers, following the "evacuation" of about 2,000 New Yorkers who left for Dutchess County, September 9, 1941.

Somehow Arthur feels very, very close to me. I seem to feel his presence warm about me. 

That's Not Arthur, Babe; That's A Dracula
