Note also that Dracula sleeps in the vicinity of a ruined chapel. In this and in
many other ways, the Count represents a perversion of Christian belief. His die
t of blood gruesomely parallels the Christian Eucharist, in which believers drin
k and eat the blood and body of Jesus Christ. In many ways, the vampire perverse
ly parallels Christ himself: like Christ, he has died and been reborn, but his r
esurrection is a blasphemy and a reverse-miracle of evil. While Christ sheds his

s so that he himself might live eternally. His immortality is a mockery of life?
he is not truly immortal but "undead," a term that Bram Stoker coined.
