Chapters 13-End

Dracula was a very religious book even though it does not appear to be. I think that vampirism is a representation of sin because the vampires portray lust and unholiness because they are repelled by religious objects such as communion waffers, crosses....and garlic. The three female vampires represented lust and when Mina was touched with a communion waffer it burned her forehead, because she rendezvoused with Dracula. Another thing that i want to know is how did Bram Stoker come up with the idea of vampires? Did they just pop into his head or were they urban legends, like in the book. Overall I really liked this book. It really did set up the foundation for modern vampires. Most authors now have branched off of the ideas of Dracula though. I did like this book but at some parts it was very boring because Stoker is very descriptive and writes in detail.
