Final answer:
John Seward did not propose to Lucy in Bram Stoker's 'Dracula'. Lucy received proposals from Jonathan Harker, Quincey Morris, and Arthur Holmwood, with Holmwood becoming her fiancé.
Step-by-step explanation:
The character who did NOT give Lucy a marriage proposal in Bram Stoker’s Dracula is John Seward. Jonathan Harker, Quincey Morris, and Arthur Holmwood all proposed to Lucy. However, it was Arthur Holmwood who eventually became engaged to her. While John Seward is indeed a suitor and deeply in love with Lucy, he does not propose to her, as Lucy receives three proposals in one day, but not from John. It is a common error to mix up the characters, but Stoker’s text is clear about who the suitors are and who actually proposes to Lucy Westenra.
