			Yes. I would tend to agree. But it is interesting that Laura is deeply conflicted about her feelings towards Carmilla:  
 
"Now the truth is, I felt rather unaccountably towards the beautiful 
stranger. I did feel, as she said, "drawn towards her," but there was 
also something of repulsion. In this ambiguous feeling, however, the 
sense of attraction immensely prevailed. She interested and won me; she 
was so beautiful and so indescribably engaging." 
 
So perhaps there is a comment on the contradiction of feelings which are  socially acceptable and those which are innate and spontaneous but deemed to be unacceptable.
