Re: Book club - DRACULA discussion post!
Really? I think it's a useful distinction. Vampires (like zombies, etc.) are dead. They have died and they no longer metabolize or grow. But they're animated and dangerous, unlike the corpses of most people who have died. "Undead" may or may not be the best word, but having a descriptor for creatures in that limbo is useful IMO.
I thought the "original soul business" was part of the overall incorporation of traditional and dogmatic Anglicanism and Catholicism in the overall story. I also thought it was kind of nice that even Dracula had peace at the end, and that a distinction was made between the living man Count Dracula, as he had been however many centuries ago when he was actually alive, and the vampire, whose cruel actions were part of the feature of his being undead, and not a reflection on what the actual man was like. In other words, the choices a vampire makes are not in any way made by the person who the body belonged to before it died.
