Wouldst thou like to die deliciously?

Let's talk about Egger's women. Let's discuss the female characters in Nosferatu and how Eggers portrays them, what they represent, and how we should view them in the vampire mythos, Stoker's Dracula, and the legacy of the Nosferatu films that came before.

I think the Eggers' movie is all about the irrational and unconscious, that's why his characters are like that. Like, "your intellect won't save you here". Which, I suppose, fits the themes of all the Nosferatu movies.

Response to erimia:

I so agree, and perfectly put.

Every Eggers film I've seen delves deeply into the irrational and the subconscious. Of course, that's why I enjoy his films (one of the reasons, anyway).
