It seems like "...(doffing my cap) Many thanks.<br /><br />It seems like "serious scholars" have tried to explain away an already fictional character, so that any power he had in the original story is diminished or buried under mountains of various "studies", histories, comparisons of literature or themes, et cetera. <br /><br />Betcha the same folks who can't leave Dracula alone to be big, bad, and scary are the same types who have to explain away God. If they can't leave a fictional monster alone, they surely aren't going to pass up the Deity.Keanan Brandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12638962927055276969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1656035854180770700.post-78455036575535968302010-02-19T19:22:41.429-06:002010-02-19T19:22:41.429-06:00I tried to leave a comment earlier today, but Word...I tried to leave a comment earlier today, but Wordpress was down.<br /><br />Anyway, I agree with you that Dracula was no metaphor or dream.

I've read a book that treated CS Lewis that way, and I didn't like it at all!<br /><br />Excellent series!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
