existed and were a problem until 1991. That was
the year that my friend Steph and I went to see
the movie Boyz in the Hood, directed by John

opposite of Christ and Christian values, driven
purely by desire and lust, showing his demonic
soul through the fire that burns in his eyes.
Despite these opposites, Stoker repeatedly uses
biblical imagery and references to compare Dracula
to Christ, creating deliberate parallels
throughout the novel. By making these parallels,
what is Stoker attempting to say ...

people and things as they really are. That is what
