reversa
Here I go again, complicating things for your paper :) ...
Is it really a role reversal? You said in your presentation that Stoker seems to be focusing on the positive feminine qualities that Mina has implicitly--nurturing, caring, selflessness--while also retaining the masculine qualities of reason and logic that make her a desirable companion for a man. It doesn't seem to me that Mina's gender role is being reversed entirely--that is, she's not behaving entirely like a man--so much as it seems like the lines between older conceptions of gender roles are being blurred. The same thing happens here with Jonathan (and this is where I would suggest you bring in the bit of your argument that deals with him), except the traits that he is adopting are viewed as undesirable. So, there is a kind of universality to desirable traits that Stoker is advocating, and in doing so he might actually be breaking down the barriers between gender roles more than we think. In other words, it is undesirable to be passive and helpless in any context, and it is universally desirable to exhibit control over reason and logic, regardless of a character's gender. Play with that in your argument! These reversals may not be as neat as they at first seem.
