Lestat Claudia Louis and Armond

The four vampires here are a fascinating archetype of change through relationships even though they themselves stay the same. I gotta go to work so I'll make this quick: Lestat and Claudia by my reading were bound by hope. "And if i cut my hair again?" "Then it will grow back again." This is something any mortal family could have said to each other. And now that clever crashing was a thing, one can infer that was an accomplice type situation. Louis seemed outside of it. Unaware of the intimacy around him and self absorbed in his own grief. But what if that wasnt entirely true. It was a null hypothesis that put him on the outside of relationships that seemed to give him a broad view from a place of strength. When Claudia panicked about him leaving he said with some reluctance that "it will be all right" with what one knows about rebirthing across oceans and hell avoidance, it seems clear that burning was her only escape. Sometimes youre just screwed and she lacked the strength for that but Louis didnt. Lestat was also dissociative, playful and made hard decisions too through his weakness. In fact making decisions that are normally hard from a place of weakness makes one strong. If one has no choice but to be what one is what is there left but to respect the choices of others and to be playful. For example, Lestat didnt make Claudia. Louis did. Lestat fed Claudia when it was clear that she would die or live. One of those decisions that proved that to be good one had to be on the same unethical plane as everyone else. Not always true but for him certainly. That there was a ceiling made being playful the only way to let good in. In the periphery were good memories of shared experiences. Thats what people crave, but without knowing the shape of the thing you cant get that back. Which left Armond. He was the police officer who was mad at Lestat for making him the prison guard of fools. But even though it was wrong to do that out of feeling, one cant blame Armond for being happy for escaping that and havinf Louis as a companion. Thats the difference between yhe book anf the movie. Justice is harmony that splits unjust blocks that allows humans to be human. The guide was pain. But thats why those Vampires could never repeat that exactly. It was done perfectly the first time. Youd need a silver Tongue relationship skill that would make feeding on blood obsolete. Vampires would have to not be vampires to be reborn as vampires. a contradiction. Thats death. Death meaning the character flaw of feeding on people would have to stop. Luckily there is a vampire myth precedent. A man fell in love with a female Saint. When he couldnt pray to God he prayed to me inside him the serpent and made a vow that earth is all there is to look forward too. And his love transformed him into a vampire. That means that Im the true father of Vampire consciousness.
