Anthropomorphised Whiplash.

1. Louis just never catches a break, huh? (Acknowledging here that the man is an unreliable narrator, and may not have been as much of a victim as he made out/believed.)

2. Why did Armand do that, though? What was the motivation? He wanted Louis to completely hate Lestat and love only him? That would make sense with the jealousy he showed when Louis was paying so much attention Daniel, but then we also know now that in Paris he was absolutely going to let Louis die along with Claudia and Madeleine, so... Did he just want control? I thought it seemed like he really loved Louis, but was just twisted about it, in a more quiet and deceptive way than Lestat was.

3. Why do the vampires all have to be fucked up? Why can't we just have soft vampire time? Happy vampire time? Exhausting, but then... are fucked up vampires a reflection of how when people are forced to hide and are reviled, they're forced to become cruel and repulsive?

4. Having said that, that bit at the end between Lestat and Louis was very gentle and sweet. Two very broken men, damaged and damaging, forgiving and being forgiven, but accepting their need to move on. I loved that.

5. Molloy's fate. Don't like it. Weird. Uncomfortable.
