Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, printed single-sided, grade: 1,7, University of Heidelberg (Institut für Anglistik), course: Hauptseminar "The Gothic", language: English, abstract: Undoubtedly, religion plays an important role in early Gothic§literature. In most cases this does not seem a positive one as§can be seen at first glance in Matthew G. Lewis The Monk§(1796). Most likely this also reflects a tendency of the postenlightenment§period in which it was written. However, it is§interesting to ask how the view on religion and its role in§Gothic texts developed in the 18th century. Therefore, I will§compare The Monk to Bram Stoker s Dracula (1897) written§roughly a hundred years later, which gives a more§sophisticated view on religion.§In order to structure the wide topic of religion I will§present three different perspectives of religion: the§societal, the institutional, and the theological. These three§strands will first be traced in The Monk and as a second step§in comparison to it in Dracula. The theological perspective on§religion in Stoker s novel will be allowed more room as this§is at the heart of the question whether religion receives a§positive or a negative reputation in Dracula.§I will argue that religion in The Monk but also in Dracula§is indispensable. Furthermore, I will give evidence for the§thesis that religion in Dracula is not merely reduced to an§apotropaic device against vampires but has a high significance§for the whole of the characters lives. This is further§emphasised in the last part of the paper, in which I will§compare the endings of both novels. As the different Christian§denominations have already been researched in depth, I will§only briefly touch on this subject and mainly focus on§Christian religion as such.
