How many scenes open with: "On a dark night, in an ancient cobwebbed castle, out flew some bats with flashing eyes," as a means to add suspense to the plot? All this means that the notoriety of the poor bat is comparable only to that of the biblical serpent.
於是「黑夜裡，結滿蛛網的古堡，飛出幾隻兩眼發著燐光的蝙蝠」，每被用來為各種不可告人的陰謀拉開序幕，蝙蝠聲名狼藉的形象，至此只有聖經中的蛇可與之相比了。
