Status Updates From Entrevista com o vampiro (A...

Models every doll after her dead daughter. Claudia wants Louis to make Madeline a vampire so she can look after her (as she needs an adult around her to live her life after all) and madeline wants a child who won’t die. Louis agrees and makes Madeline a vampire.

One of the older female vampires is intimidated and jealous of her beauty. He tells Louis to think beware whenever he is around another vampire to I guess make him viewed less as weak.

Anyhow Claudia, still pissed she’s a child and still wanting Louis to herself (Louis thinks she won’t share with Armand not Armand won’t share with her) has brought Madeline back to their lodgings. She owns a doll shop and

Louis meets with Armand again. Armand tells him to avoid the other vampires as they see him as weak for denying his vampire nature, and also question why he and Claudia are not with the vampire who created them. Also judging him for having Claudia as she’s far too young to be a vampire. She has no time to develop human nature and therefore just has vampire nature and an impression of human nature learn from Louis

All of Europe and she’s found them and hates them. Great 🤧
Claudia tells Louis armand was in her mind telling her she should die, set him free from her. She said he takes the life from her in to himself. And that he loves Louis, and wants Louis for himself.

So is Louis gay? I’m so confused. Mind you all this is said while Claudia and him are kissing so STILL confused about them.

Their hair black too. So they blend with the night. Armand has no real knowledge of vampires discovered over his 400 years (and he said he’s the oldest) so once again we still have no answers. He writes off the Eastern European vampires. But tells Claudia and Louis that the punishment for any vampire that kills another vampire is death. After Claudia and Louis leave she said she hates them. She searched for them

Where multiple vampires on stage actually drain a real woman on stage while everyone mortal in the audience thinks it’s all an act. Then after they go downstairs to the vampires quarters. (Very long boring and weird passage where no one talks) when armand introduces himself. He’s 400 years old. Santiago is the vampire who mocked Louis. The women tell Claudia she should wear black. They all wear black, and dye

Anyhow in Paris they argue and Louis walks the streets, before long he realises he is being followed and it’s another vampire. Not the mindless ones of Eastern Europe. This one mimics him and they fight, another vampire appears and fights the other vampire and gives Louis a card for ‘the vampire club’ to bring Claudia too, tomorrow night before disappearing in to the night. They go and watch a ‘play’

They go to Paris where Claudia is once again moody with Louis over the fact she’s grown up mentally but forever a child. She asks him about making love.
Ngl sometimes the way he kisses her and they tell each other they love her I wasn’t really sure if they were making love but I guess he’s not really attracted to her 5 year old body. But the writing towards her is quite romanticly inclined so figures…

such captivating prose, i love anne rice's storytelling and how descriptive she is. reading the book after watching the show was not a good idea, as my mind cannot register louis as a white slave owner ❌ this is definitely closer to the movie adaptation than the show
