  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Mina Harker   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Mina and Lucy symbolise Victorian era womanhood and the sensibility of the age but while Mina stays resolute, Lucy's sexual tendencies are to be her end.
Mina slowly succumbs to the blood of the vampire that flows through her veins, switching back and forth from a state of consciousness to a state of semi-trance during which she is telepathically connected with Dracula.
Throughout, there are various references to changing gender roles; Mina Harker is a thoroughly modern woman, as she uses (then) modern technologies such as the typewriter, but she still embodies a traditional gender role as an assistant school mistress.

 Quincy Harker   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Quincy Harker, the son of John and Mina Harker (the same couple mentioned in Bram SToker's novel "Dracula") was a wealthy Englishman who devoted his life and his fortune to destroying Dracula, a lifelong obsession fueled by the many monstrosities the vampire lord had committed against Harker and his family.
Little is known about Harker's past except that he used his fortune to establish a world-wide network designed to destroy Dracula and that he used his considerable intelligence to design specialized weapons for use against vampires.
Harker impaled Dracula with a silver spoke from his wheelchair during a but deadly battle that saw Harker miraculously rise out of his wheelchair as he defeated his longtime foe.

 SparkNotes: Dracula: Chapter I
Harker plans to take copious notes throughout his journey so that he can share the details of his adventures with his fiancée, Mina Murray.
Harker recounts several more stops to inspect similar flames and notes that at one point, when the driver gathers a few stones around one of the flames, he seems to be able to see the flame through the driver’s body.
Harker’s education, as well as his Western sense of progress and propriety, disables him from making sense of such rustic traditions as “the evil eye.” To a man of Harker’s position and education, the strange sights he witnesses en route to the castle strike him as rare curiosities or dreams.

 reVIEW : Buuk
Mina is no simple pseudonym, however, but a performative rewriting (and rewiring) of Van Helsing's secretarial adjunct from Dracula, and as Dodie Bellamy's mouthpiece, Mina becomes a feminist vampire for the 90's.
Over the course of the letters (written to person[a]s living, dead, and "invented"), Mina chronicles the events of her (and "Dodie"s) colorful life as a writer living in San Francisco, as well as the ongoing (and playful) "tension" between the "author" Mina Harker and the "character" Dodie Bellamy, whose body Mina sometimes inhabits.
For Mina Harker, as for Bellamy, writing is a matter of breathing life into a literary corpse (contemporary fiction) so that the living dead (the pulsing, erotic, written words) may startle us into self-recognition.

 THE DRACULA TAPE
Harker and his wife, Janet, both suffering from exposure and exhaustion, were admitted to All Saints Hospital, in Plymouth, on the morning following the height of the storm.
The Harkers' physical condition and the state of their clothing upon arrival at the hospital suggests that they may have walked across country.
The general quality of the tape, and the background noises detectable thereon, are, in the oopinion of technical experts, consistent with the hypothesis that the tape was in fact recorded in an automobile, engine running at idling speed, heater and blowers operating, with gusts of high wind outside.

I looked at her, but she sat calm, and smiled at me. When I would have stepped to the fire to replenish it, she caught me and held me back, and whispered, like a voice that one hears in a dream, so low it was.
She was so fair to look on, so radiantly beautiful, so exquisitely voluptuous, that the very instinct of man in me, which calls some of my sex to love and to protect one of hers, made my head whirl with new emotion.

 Uppity-Negro.com: In Memoriam: I've seen the future, brother   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
"Murray," in the novel, was Mina Harker's maiden name, and "Mina" is short for Wilhelmina.
In Dracula Mina Harker was the wife of Jonathan Harker, the putative protagonist for the novel; they, along with Dr. van Helsing, came into conflict with the vampire, and eventually triumphed, although not before Mina was bitten by Dracula and forced to drink his blood.
It may be that Bond's "ravished by a foreigner" is a reference to Mina's being bitten by Dracula, although knowing Moore's work it's something more intricate.
