Character Relationship in Interview with a Vampire

 The movie poster for Interview with the Vampire in 1994. I WANT TO WATCH IT!!!


CHARACTER RELATIONSHIP IN INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE

    Vampires are the creatures that drink human blood to survive, and they do not communicate with humans. However, in the 'Interview With A Vampire' by Anne Rice, the story starts with a conversation between the boy(a human) and Louis(a vampire.) Also, the story shows the interesting relationship between Louis and other characters such as Lestat, Claudia, and the vampires in Theatre des Vampires.



 It is interested scene that how Lestat catches a mouse, kill it, and pour its blood on the wine cup.


     Claudia is the most important character in 'Interview With A Vampire' because she is the one who makes Louis feel guilty. Claudia becomes a vampire when she was five years old and she cannot grow up. It makes the story interesting because it makes Louis to protect Claudia and feel guilty about Claudia's problem. Because of the guilty that Louis has, Louis kills every vampire in Theatre des Vampires for the revenge after Claudia's death.

     Lestat, Louis' advisor, is also an important character in 'Interview With A Vampire.' In the beginning of the story, Lestat shows himself as a cold hearted teacher. However, he changed after the burning on  Theatre des Vampires, he becomes strange and weak in front of Louis. It is hard to see Lestat as a villain. Even though Lestat kills Claudia for the revenge, he does not try to kill or destroy Louis, but wants him to become an Lestat's assistance.

     The boy in 'Interview With A Vampire' cannot be forgotten because he is a human who talks with a vampire, Louis. There is not much information about the boy, but he makes the interview with the vampire, and catches important information from the story such as Louis' name and vampire's ability. However, it is strange that he wants to be a vampire at the end of the story because Louis' story ends with no happy ending and does not encourage people to become a vampire. Why the boy wants to become a vampire?



Poor Claudia...


     'Interview With A Vampire' brings the story well with the relationships between Louis and characters. Louis gets guilty feeling from Claudia, has problems with Lestat and the vampires in Theatre des Vampires, and shows his feeling and story in the conversation with the boy. It is interesting that how a vampire can be seen as human with emotion, not a monster.






INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE REVIEW

     It was interested that the story goes with conversation between the boy and Louis, and the boy catches important information from the story. (it makes me easy to read XD) Also, I like the ending that does not end with ending interview, but shows what the boy is going to do (open ending.)
