I'm glad you liked the Bang miniseries, it got a lot of grief over here, I thought myself to be its only fan!
Re what you say about the Nosferatu women is true but hmm, Anna has a lot of control over her devoted husband, so perhaps we can say that she has adapted to her situation perfectly. Ellen though, doesn't feel like a male creation. She can't fit in, can't adapt, can't be... When Orlok tells her she is not for the living, not for humankind, I think he means all of it, including the male dominated world that calls her crazy and tightens her corset strings. Of course, Orlok is a different kind of dominance but she called him, she was the active agent then. So I don't know.
