I was thinking about Claudia- how she had EVERYTHING stacked against her: be louis' sister, mother, lestat's daughter, infant death yet she became her own woman
She was supposed to not take well to vampirism because she was so young and had a fragile mind, everyone thought she was gonna die or kill herself but she was the most vampire out of all of them, she survived through it all and lived
And when she thought she was gonna be alone forever and not find her great love because she had the body of a child and louis and lestat never put her first so how could she find a person to be her lestat or her louis, she finally found HER person: madeleine- that understood, accepted, loved her and put her first, she looked back. Like Orpheus who truly loved Eurydice, Madeleine loved Claudia. To love is to look back.
She had it all. Untill- like everything, everytime- men around her decided otherwise. Untill they took from her for the final time.
