An UnGodly Sin

“Unclean, unclean! I must touch him or kiss him no more. Oh, that it should be that it is I who am now his worst enemy, and whom he may have most cause to fear.”
-Mina Harker
Fairest in the land to dreaded vampire

To me, I was specifically drawn to the idea of blood as a sexual entity. It has many forms, though. This quote has to do with blood being seen as a impurity. It was a form of filth that associated a human with the monster of this tale, a vampire.
The blood made for a ravenous being in itself. It was a sign of disgust and a dirt that could not be washed away simply with a bath.
This blood symbolized corruption of the soul, through a painfully draining process, the physical body. May God bless the souls of the bitten victims.
