The valient men of the Victorian society were known to be courageous and physically strong.
1. "We are men, and more able to bear, but you must be our star and our hope, and we shall act all the more free that you are not in danger, such as we are." (287)
2. "Mrs. Harker is better out of it. Things are quite bad enough to us, all men of the world, and who have been in many tight places in our time; but it is no place for a woman, and if she had remained in touch with the affair, it would in time infallibly wreck her." (302)
3. "We men are determined- nay, are we not pledged?- to destroy this monster; but it is no part for a woman. Even if she not be harmed, her heart may fail her in so much and so many horrors; and hereafter she may suffer- both in waking, from her nerves, and in sleep, from her dreams." (278)
On the other hand, the virtuous women of the Victorian society brought preparation and lightness to the heart.
1. "She has a man's brain- a brain that a man should have were he much gifted- and a woman's heart." (278)
2. "We women have something of the mother in us that makes us rise above smaller matters when the mother-spirit is invoked..." (272)
3. "No one but a woman can help a man when he is in trouble of the heart, and he had no one to comfort him." (273)
