The Mina in Dracula has little to do with the Mina in LoEG; at least, the Mina in LoEG is a person that the Mina of Dracula hasn't become yet. I think it's fair to say that Dracula is a fairly misogynistic book; ostensibly everything in it is about protecting the women, but the subtext of that is that Dracula has the power to awaken women's sexuality, and that's something of which all the upstanding Victorian gentlemen are terrified. So there's a great deal of conversation about the importance of protecting Mina and saving her from Drac's spell (accompanied by a fair amount of manly weeping), and much chaste admiration from the non-Jonathan Harkness men involved, but there's also a sense in which they are protecting her because she is Jonathan's property.

Which is not precisely the dynamic of Tale, at least, not to that extent; but certainly Dr. Manette, Charles, Lorry, Carton and (for a time) even Stryver seem more concerned with Lucie's well-being than with their own, and--except for the somewhat implausible device which draws Charles back to France--it seems to be that concern that drives much of the story.

I should say that I don't dislike Dracula--it's a pretty enjoyable book structurally and stylistically, if you can get past Stoker's fear of females.
