In previous videos dedicated to this novel, this incredible work of Gothic vampire fiction, I've talked about how its themes are still relevant today. themes of xenophobia, of cultural appropriation, themes of feminism and the liberation of women's bodies and choices, themes of hedonism, themes of queerness, themes of persecution and paranoia, the fear of the other, the fear of corruption, the ideas of purity as dictated by politics and even more overtly, religion.
