Just a Thought....
I just had a thought-vampire stories involve a woman falling in love with a competent, but dangerous, man. Dracula came out in 1897, when the women's movement was strong, soon to result in women's suffrage. Vampire stories often involve a woman giving up her independence and competency to be with a man. She's hypnotized, can't look away, and he by turn, wants her lifeblood-that which keeps her alive and functioning. Is this a perspective on the rights of women? Is it possible that there is fear that a man will take a woman's right to live away from her? If not by force, than by stealth? That even so, a woman's nature isn't strong enough to resist? Are vampire stories in general just reinforcements of patristic ideas?

Men take away women's right to live all the time. Anytime a man murders his ex because she wanted to break up with him, or kills a girl who won't go to the prom with him, or forces a woman to carry a problem pregnancy to term, they're taking away a woman's right to live. Because that woman wasn't properly deferential to him and his wishes.
