Honestly, it’s just so sick. I know that in TV shows, it often looks sweet and romantic to see how deeply one person loves another, but what the Dracula from *Castlevania* does has nothing to do with love. It is, quite simply, obsession—obsession combined with the most extreme form of grief. Sure, grief is natural—when the person you love dies, especially if they’re murdered, it’s awful—but take Dracula from *Hotel Transylvania*, for instance. Suggesting that he didn’t love his wife just because he eventually fell in love again is absolute nonsense; his wife had been gone for a long time. To spend the rest of one’s life—a very long life—stuck in the past forever is incredibly toxic and unhealthy. Furthermore, the Dracula from *Castlevania*—aside from the fact that he defied his wife’s dying wish by noz killing humans—did some truly horrific things. Some people try to justify it by saying, "Well, his wife was murdered," but that doesn't excuse his actions, nor does it give him the right to act this way just because he lost her. Romanticizing this is just sick. What he experienced was nothing more than obsession; the guy wasn't doing well at all. He was deeply unhappy, died a sad and lonely death, and—on top of that—traumatized his own son. The Dracula from *Hotel Transylvania* didn’t traumatize his daughter; he might have been a bit overprotective, but he handled things far better than the Dracula from *Castlevania*—who ended up forcing his own son to kill him, all while having taken the lives of so many other people.
