MISS CHRISTINA– A DIFFERENT KIND OF FEMALE CHARACTER ON THE BORDER BETWEEN VAMPIRIC AND PHANTASMAL

Summary/Abstract: Neither an angel, nor a demon, neither Venus, nor Madonna, Miss Christina, the heroine of Mircea Eliade's novella, is an unusual female character, duplicitous, presented as an intriguing blend, on the border between vampiric and phantasmal: a vampire-phantom or a phantom-vampire? A being that feeds on blood, controlling and subduing others, Miss Christina is a character devoid of corporeality, to a certain extent. The embodiment, in the name of love, of the female character's weakness, will bring about a cascade of consequences.
