Paper Summary:
This essay examines Stoker's gothic classic, "Dracula", as a novel about the perversion of the Christian myth. It describes several passages in the novel that seem to mimic the bible, not only in intonation, but in connotation. The essay exposes obvious as well as often overlooked parallels between Christian dogma and the "Dracula" novel.From the Paper:
"Bram Stoker's late nineteenth-century effort, Dracula, has achieved a mythical literary fame not enjoyed by many other novels. Since its first publishing over a hundred years ago, Dracula has never been out of print, and has spawned literally thousands of movies and modern novels concerning a vampire lore and tradition that Stoker single-handedly forged. What is amazing about this novel is that it not only contains the elements of excellent gothic horror, but social class commentaries, an interpretation of women's roles in society " particularly with regards to female sexuality and sensuality " and an ironic perversion of the Christian mythology."Visitors who viewed this Analytical Essay also liked these:
