Gender Roles of Dracula and Today

In “Dracula” we see that Dracula has been tasked with defending his brides from the outside world and has been able to do so. He has also been made to feed the woman, and has time and time again been seduced by the nymphs. They appear to use sexual advances to get him close. He is their husband and they are his angels. He is Charlie and they are his Angels! He worships these women and later is made to kill one for a reason which is honestly a bit confusing to me. Dracula is guilty of being too trusting of these women who see a man with a big mansion and a secluded, safe enough area they can call home. To be honest, I expect a woman to have a job but of course I also expect them to have children. Am I sexist? I guess. I can sleep at night, doesn’t bother me. I expect women to have a job outside of the house and for everyone to clean the house together, the children can pick of their own crap.
