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
