Part 6/7:
Perhaps one of Dafoe's most surprising revelations is his interpretation of Eggers’ vision of Nosferatu—as a love story. While many may not immediately see it this way, Dafoe elaborates on the complex love triangle at the heart of the narrative. The interplay between Ellen, her husband, and the otherworldly Nosferatu creates a toxic, yet intriguing dynamic marked by longing and misunderstanding. Through his character's lens, Dafoe highlights the underlying themes of connection, desire, and the often painful contradictions inherent in love.
