Again, parts of The Count that you just have to cut because they’re just too weird: The countess G— feels unwell and goes home immediately
after seeing The Count across the theater, because of his vampire-like appearance.
I don’t know what Dumas is doing here. I have no idea.
No, no, I do. It’s just that Edmund Dante is dead and sold his soul to the devil to become The Count. And that’s reflected in the visual imagery.
