Quincey Morris character profile
Who?
● Quincey P Morris is a young Texan and a friend of Arthur Holmwood and
John Seward
...
● We know very little about Quincey Morris, despite the fact that he destroys
Dracula alongside Jonathan
...
He is the first of the men to agree to kill
Mina, should she turn into a vampire irreversibly, and he carries a Bowie knife
at all times
...
● Despite his overt displays of manliness, Quincey also has a more sensitive
side
...
Indeed,
although he is rejected by Lucy he retains his generous nature and even
takes Arthur out for a drink to celebrate his engagement
...
● Quincey also gains respect from his fellow members of the crew of light
because he is honest
...
This sets him apart
from the other foreigner - Van Helsing - who dissolves into fits of hysterical
laughing and crying when he is overwhelmed by grief
...
● Some have argued that Quincey represents Britain and America’s allied and
close relationship, but that he also poses a threat to the novel’s Europeans
...
Therefore, although Quincey is a comrade
to the men in the novel, he also shares the foreignness which impacts how a
Victorian audience would have interpreted his status
...
His cowboy-esque pursuits, including a love of hunting,
stand in sharp contrast to the English characters’ desires to better themselves
intellectually
...
● Quincey is one of the few main characters whose voice and thoughts are not
reflected in the epistolic narrative
...
This may suggest that he is still viewed as the outsider by the
other men, or that his opinions are somehow inferior
...
g
...
● The surname Morris has roots in Wales, Scotland and Ireland, perhaps
suggesting that this is a kind of homecoming for Quincey
...
Appearances in the novel
● Quincey is first introduced as one of Lucy’s potential suitors
...
● Dr Seward and Quincey Morris travel on horseback towards Castle Dracula,
when the crew of light splits up
...
● Even in death, Quincey is noble - he is struck down by one of Dracula’s gypsy
allies and dies due to a stab wound
...
