The Unquiet Grave / int_1ee0948e	type	Artificial Human
The Unquiet Grave / int_1ee0948e	comment	Artificial Human: Or Seer, rather: John Blake, or Adam Caliban, is a patchwork of human bodies bound together by the brain of a deceased Seer, a condition that causes him no shortage of misery. He ends the story fully overcoming this trope, with his body destroyed and his mind essentially one with the Nocturne's.

The Unquiet Grave / int_504a1991	comment	Body Horror: Ruthven's master plan is built entirely off of this. To fuel his ritual to transform Hardestadt Delac into a god he calls the Scarlet Saint, Ruthven intends to twist every person in London into a living cathedral of agonized, merged human beings, the agony of which will fuel his deification spell. He attempts similar experiments earlier in the novel, to disturbing effect:

Silas Ruthven is as wicked a killer as they come, frequently ingratiating himself to victims and killing those around them. Even Carmilla is compelled to kill those she cares about more often than not, often draining her victims to death.

By the events of the story, Carmilla is almost at the point where she thinks she's beyond saving.

The Unquiet Grave / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
The Unquiet Grave / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: There exist numerous to contemporary Victorian literature and theater in the time: Grete is in the leading role of Theatre/Othello, and the story ends with a quotation from A Midsummer Night's Dream. Atop repeatedly quoting old English poetry, both Grete and Carmilla express a mutual love in the writer "Michael Field" (which becomes something of a historical bonus considering Grete and Carmilla's relationship). The circumstances of the creation of artificial Seer John Blake is a clear homage to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Many characters borrow their names from contemporary novels, such as Aubrey and Ianthe, and Carmilla herself from Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla. Silas Ruthven is a twofer; he borrows his name from The Vampyre, and his first name, Silas, references Uncle Silas'', Le Fanu's previous novel. Poetry, especially from the romantics, frequently features, and Eliza, Blake and Carmilla quote John Clair, William Blake, John Keats and others.
