I think that you would connect these two because at the end the boy does seem selfish and after all these harsh memoirs that this vampire has and is telling him, the boy is still wanting to be a vampire. Lestat and the boy are a very good connection and it gives out a broader thinking 'bubble'.Draculeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12566920438919171547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7764067184328077359.post-29498634490295400002010-11-19T14:05:52.721-08:002010-11-19T14:05:52.721-08:00That's an interesting claim.

It's not so evident here except in the parts where Lestat strives to get whatever he wants with any means necessary. He want's Louis' plantation, so he turns the man, he wants Louis himself but Louis plans on leaving so Lestat turns an innocent child into an eternal vampire. He's selfish just like the reporter boy is. The reporter boy just hears what he wants to hear and ignores all of the repercussions that come with vampirism.Emily Zettlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04165555311475924986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7764067184328077359.post-4888657926343509322010-11-19T10:01:49.585-08:002010-11-19T10:01:49.585-08:00I agree that the boy was like Lestat only because ...I agree that the boy was like Lestat only because he had no care for what he may lose. He wanted to "live" this lifestyle and found it fastinating. Louis had to much heart and emotion and he mad this decision out of pain and anger that he has always seemed to regret. He has too much of a conscience. Claudia I felt was like Lestat and the boy too because they had so much anger and they wanted to take whatever they could.Corie Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03754258270210730111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7764067184328077359.post-41922585547035886122010-11-18T07:13:05.405-08:002010-11-18T07:13:05.405-08:00Sara,
