This essay about "Domnişoara Christina" (1936) by Mircea Eliade focuses, at first, on the folkloric motifs hidden in the novel, which intersect the implicit and explicit intertextualities coming from fantastic and gothic Western Europe literature. The second part of this study is dedicated to the construction of the ‘devouring femininity’ and his metamorphosis, and to the vampirophania: the gradual revelation and manifestation of a both terrifying and fantastic ‘reality’. The last part proposes a transversal reading of the novel trying to demonstrate that Christina is the projection of the anima, the female intra-psychic archetype, of the main male character Egor.
