Essay Topics

1.

Armand is irresistibly attracted to Louis, because he is still curious and passionate, two of the best aspects of humanity. Once Claudia is killed, however, Louis no longer shows any interest in their relationship, and he is equally aloof with Lestat. Explain why he gives no signs that he hopes to regain any spark of vitality.

2.

Louis is complicit in Claudia’s death and rebirth as a vampire, and he tells her as much. Why does Claudia blame Lestat more than Louis? She says that she hates Louis as much as she loves him, but why is she able to stay with Louis while Lestat drives her to attempt to kill him?

3.

Louis has a disdain for Lestat that is almost instantaneous from their first meeting. Why does he stay with him for so long, given how distasteful he finds him?
