Religion and how it affects Dracula as a person whose soul is trapped
Dracula is the most religious person in this novel because of the struggle he has in retrieving his soul, which is seen consistently throughout the novel as he is often times found in an old abandoned church, or even when a crucifix is used to protect against Dracula. Stoker includes this to represent the people in society that are evil but that grasp onto religion the most, or that rely on religion only when they need it most. It is a common meaning portrayed throughout the entire book, especially in the end when Dracula dies and reunites with his soul, which is like a representation of repentance because Dracula is practically being forgiven for all the misery he caused be caused he caused it all when he was soul-less.
