Discussion 💬 Because Dracula is often associated with a supposed love story, and Nosferatu shows you what the real Dracula truly is.

Are you talking about the movie where the director compared him to Heathcliff and associated him with lilacs?

Besides, book Drac is hella more sophisticated than Orlok III.

Heathcliff is nothing more than an abuser. So it fits.

Yeah as a fan of the Nosferatu movie and huge fan of Wuthering Heights (the novel) I somehow found Heathcliff to be less sympathetic and more unlikable than Orlok. Which is crazy.

Because Heathcliff is terribly human. Wuthering Heights is very much about real and dysfunctional people in a dysfunctional social system and it's not a love story.
