i watched this with my gf a couple weeks back. neither of us got why she wanted to fuck the vampire or what was going on lol
It's you! The person that modern films have characters constantly turn to the camera and explain their thoughts and emotions for :p
I jest, the end does play pretty fast but she has spent 3 days coming to terms with the fact that she's going to die and either many others do too or not.
Basically she has a connection to the spirit realm, in the intro you see her call out to anything listening angel or demon. Well a demon answers, and they get freaky in spirit dream space. There's a metaphor of female sexual development being considered a dirty thing that must be repressed, and she conceives of orlok as a punishment she deserves for the crime of being horny. But while he overs mindless carnal indulgence he cannot love, she loves her hubby and that love warded off orlok for a bit.
Orlok awoken must have his bride because demon reasons. So he sets out to profane their marriage and force her to accept him via murder. But orlok can't resist her, so she uses her sexuality to trap him with her till morning and he goes pop.
There's this angle of repressed sexuality summoned a demon, and by her claiming it she can put the demon down. However she also dies, rip.
She had latent psychic powers and was depressed as a child so she mentally reached out for help and Nosferatu responded. This is actually a thing in occultism (I'm told), when you try and reach out to the divine you have to first pass through the realm of evil and demons and intercept your call to corrupt you.
They weren't literally fucking (in the beginning) but forming a psychic bond.
