oh my GOD, currently devastated that I missed this parallel, great observation op
The fact I haven't seen that many people talk about how lestat did the exact same thing his father did to him to Claudia by forcibly removing her from the train in ep 6 is a real disservice to both Claudia and Lestat
#like obviously lestats parental trauma impacts a lot of his actions in the show#especially with his two monologues in ep 1#but that scene in ep 6 completely slipped past me#i really hope they include more scenes relating to their relationship in s2 tbh#like the focus is v much on louis and claudia cuz they team up against him#but i love how book Claudia shares this ruthlessness with Lestat that Louis will never understand#and how Lestat mourns her in every subsequent book because he can never forgive himself for what happened to her#which obv doesn't excuse his horrible behaviour#but its still a fascinating element of both characters#and also crucial to the loustat dynamic#its important that he loved her because its important that she didnt feel loved#lestats downfall was creating someone too much like him#vampirism works hard but generational trauma works harder#interview with the vampire#iwtv#amc iwtv#amc interview with the vampire#amc claudia#iwtv claudia#lestat de lioncourt
