in Varney the Vampire, there is approximately 1 female lead per story setting, but discounting all the little vignettes there are 2 main ones (Clara Crofton and Flora Bannerworth). clara dies in her section, but flora lives, begging the question...
in dracula there is a cowboy and the female lead lives. in nosferatu there is no cowboy and the female lead dies. ergo, the existence of a cowboy is highly important for the survival of the female lead in a gothic vampire story.
