There is a dialogue in the movie that does NOT appear in the novel, and I don´t understand it.
In the scene where Carmilla and that other girl talk after Carmillas bath, the girl dresses herself, and there is this dialogue:
Girl: I've never worn anything like this. I feel so daring. What would my father say?
Carmilla: He will appreciate it, like all men.
Wtf?? Why would her father appreciate to see his daughter wearing "daring" clothes, "like all men"??
Is she implying something?
Carmilla is just saying all men appreciate a woman to be beautiful. It wasn't a sexual prefrance.
shareYes, but read the quote again; she says, that this dress (or whatever it was) is "so daring". And Carmilla said, that her father would appreciate it. The daring dress, he would appreciate it like all men.
shareShe was stating the obvious that men favor alluring apparel on beautiful women, even around the time of the Victorian era. If there was an incestuous implication in her statement it's because Carmilla was intrinsically evil; she is, after all, referred to as a "devil" elsewhere in the movie. Carmilla was simply jealous of Emma's father and so basically discredits him as a perverted scumbag to the focal point of her satanic passions (Emma).
