Interview with the Vampire

I totally agree with http://samjanssen.blogspot.com/. After reading the rest of Interview with the Vampire, it seems that Louis was just a young vampire, and still trying to hold on to human emotions. As the novel progresses we even see how Louie is understanding that too. This is true especially after Louie changes Madeleine into a vampire.

" 'For you see,' I said to her in that same calm voice, 'what died tonight in this room was not that woman. It will take her many nights to die, perhaps years. What has died in this room tonight is the last estige in me of what was human.' " (pg 270)

It seems that as time goes by Louis looses more and more of his human self, and even does the one act that is as anti-human as possible. By changing Madeleine he is equaling himself with Lestat, who put him in what he believes is eternal damnation. From this we see that Louis really was just a young ignorant vampire. As http://samjanssen.blogspot.com/ said:

"Those realities for a vampire are that they must kill to survive; their existance depends on their ability to end the existence of others."

Louis if finally excepting who and what he really is. The reader finally sees that it is not about being more human, but instead about finally realizing that Louis can not hide from who he really is.
