I thought someone has to drive a spike through Dracula's heart to release him from the eternal curse. But, the symbolism appears to say that someone else, aside from Dracula himself, can release him from his cursed body.
Also, the symbolism shows that this evil resides in the heart. So, the destruction of this evil heart can release the soul to attain moksha. Further, the story states that Dracula lived in darkness, which accounted for his evil activities at night. And, he has to sleep in his coffin during the day to avoid the light of truth. ---In [email protected], <[email protected]> wrote: The curse of Dracula! Is, the very *damnation* Christ warned about!

Drinking the blood of sensuality dooms those, who go so forth, to the wheel of eternal *in-satiability* and the wheel of birth and death (Samsara or eternal damnation to reincarnation because of desire) until the *demon* of desire is quelled and the peace of soul realization is gained through meditation and God realization. ( Hey, a little Halloween here, enjoy!)
