Love and loyalty is a quality Count Orlok possesses. Except, Orlok’s love is for blood and his loyalty is in his commitment to feed on a particular prey. Therefore, Orlok’s love and loyalty is not on par with human values. Humans are loyal to other humans, not food. Furthermore, Orlok feeds on people and the very act of feeding on a person marks him as inhuman. Orlok is just a scary monster whose love and loyalties are contingent to the desires of something monstrous. There is nothing making Orlok attractive to the viewer. He offers nothing, except something to fear.
