Wilson adds: “Nolan’s Odyssey lacks many of the elements that make the poem great. It has nothing convincing to say about time, memory, history, war, or about the relationship between one warrior’s glorious return and the lives of his family, adversaries, comrades, friends and neighbours. It lacks psychological, emotional, political and ethical depth. Its narrative structure is gimmicky. The writing is abysmal. None of the characters has convincing motivation for their actions or words. There are no sex scenes, and all the food looks horrible.”

I agree with you, I think one of the ways that Lucy and Mina are foils is not the usual and incorrect adaptational "Madonna versus Whore", but one of them is sheltered, rich, confined, openly sensitive, dictated and pressured while the other one is more emotionally repressed, forced to be grown, but more free to be enterprising, industrious and utilize her curiosity.

Exactly! Mina is, despite her financial hardships, less socially shackled than Lucy as a middle class working woman. Lucy is the western nobility that dies, like Dracula as the eastern nobility, as opposed to Mina as the New Generation of women who go on into the future. Lucy is always blamed for her own demise (even the Wikipedia page says she is a very proactive character simply by having 3 suitors which is just false because she didn't even choose them and only said she wishes she could marry all three because she doesn't want to hurt their feelings) despite being molded by all those around her and having them lead her actions. Only with Mina is she able to exercise her life as a young woman instead of having to go from Innocent Girl and Married Wife back and forth. It's not a coincidence, to me, that it's with Mina that they discuss the New Woman instead of say, her mother, or by having any of the male characters mention the movement. Lucy was never free and as a vampire was slave to baser instincts, whereas Mina resisted vampirism as much as she could and wrenched her freedom from her abuser and the group that oppressed her (which Lucy was unable to do) and carried on into the future by embracing said future with technology and letting go of societal norms that would've kept her down.

I wish I could put my kid in a place like this. Not that I didn’t try. Just sometimes things they don’t work out the way you want them to. Wasn’t supposed to be like this. You weren’t supposed to be here.

[Steinbeck] makes the point that, after Adam and Eve, everyone is the son or daughter of some human parent. From the standpoint of family romance, the dilemma faced by our first parents is profoundly unique. Yet everyone who has been a human child has felt, Steinbeck argues, a common terror: “The greatest terror a child can have is that he is not loved, and rejection is the hell he fears. I think everyone in the world to a large or small extent has felt rejection. And with “rejection comes anger, and with anger some kind of crime in revenge for the rejection, and with the crime guilt—and there is the story of mankind.” In this model of human development the key figure is not a parent or a child but a sibling, or the idea of one. The threat to the self is having to share love, and the root of all evil, if there is one, is the impulse that leads a parent to say, as Cyrus Trask does to Adam, “I love you better.”

The Bible can be read as a book about the mystery of favorite children. It has only one set of first parents but many Cains and Abels. Ishmael and Isaac, Esau and Jacob, the elder son and the Prodigal Son, Satan and Christ—in each of these twosomes one is somehow lucky, or better, or preferred. But competition for love is finally not the issue here. Each story turns upon the arbitrariness and unpredictability of the parental response.
