I am alone in the castle with those horrible women. Faugh! Mina is a woman, and there is nought in common. They are devils of the Pit!
– Bram Stoker
Dracula, Chapter 4. Jonathan in his journal describes the three Brides of Dracula who accosted him one night and contrasts them with Mina. She sees Mina as all woman, but the others not as women but devils.
