That poor soul who has wrought all this misery is the saddest case of all. Just think what will be his joy when he, too, is destroyed in his worser part that his better part may have spiritual immortality. You must be pitiful to him, too, though it may not hold your hands from his destruction.

– Bram Stoker

Dracula, Chapter 23. The kindly Mina can even feel pity for a monster like Dracula. She beseeches the others to be pityful to him, saying that there is a soul trapped into this monster which will be relased to spiritual immotarlity when they bring about his destruction.
