Also I was wondering what was Ellen sins ??? What was the darkness whithin her that attracted Nosferatu?

In the beginning when she prays it because she is lonely and misunderstood. And then she has her sexy encounter Orlock. But she isn't exactly sexualy repressed. She seems to have a very passionnate and loving life with John.

So what ???

I think I'm missing something, maybe modern biais. But even with my knowlage of victorian puritanism I don't get what was so wrong with her that attracted Orlock in the first place. I understand the shame she had after their first tango, but before that what was it???

While watching the movie, I was wandering if Ellen could have been save if she had been belived from the start.

She was a seer.

The doctor told her that she could have been a good pristess of Isis, which make me think that if she had been belived, and her power been trained she could have survive Orlock influance.

Because we see in the movie that nun in the church having some sort of seing herself. But she is a nun in a community who knows how to deal with treat like that. So you know, if Ellen had that kind of support and training she would have been free. Most importantly, she would have a more fullfiling life.

People not comprehending Nosferatu correctly might kill me. Yes it's erotic and about pleasure but yes it's devastating and about child sexual abuse. It's a movie about victimhood, about being already dead, about longing for the great beyond, about never feeling safe from your abuser, about always expecting one more rape must be endured. It is about being an ugly victim, a neurotic victim. About your supposed allies tying you down for fear you will rip their world to ribbons. It is about facing the abuser, facing the pleasure the abuser brought. It is about men seeking to silence a plague in the quiet of the night when grooming and abuse can only be destroyed by pulling it into the light of morning.
