* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Katherine plans to marry Dracula solely to become a vampire, before killing him and making Frank a vampire too. This feels very much like a scenario where a woman marries a man she doesn't love [[GoldDigger for his riches]] with the plot of killing him so she can marry rich with her lover.
