Brooding is a characteristic of any emotional vampire (dark trench coat optional) in Interview with the Vampire, and the reason for all this moping seems to be one thing: dissatisfaction. Vampires have eternal life, gorgeous beauty, and the ability to travel all over the world, yet they still find something lacking in their long, long lives.
Maybe humans are prone to dissatisfaction in general. We'd love to see what would happen if a naturally optimistic creature were granted eternal life. Vampire Cock-a-Poos, anyone?
