How we cite our quotes: (Part.Paragraph)
Quote #1
"'It sounds as if it was like being in love.'" (1.151)
This is the boy's opinion of vampirism. He has a point. Love is one of those emotions that can be incredible and uplifting, but it can also be devastating and destructive. The same could be said of being a vampire.
Quote #2
"I felt some measure of love for Babette, though not the greatest love I've ever felt. It was foreshadowed in Babette." (1.261)
Louis is pretty blunt here calling his love for Babette foreshadowing. You can argue about whether his "greatest love" is Claudia or Armand, because both of them grow to hate Louis in their own way, just as Babette does. Or is Louis's "greatest love" both of them?
Quote #3
"We reeled about the room as if to the wildest waltz. Father and Daughter. Lover and Lover." (1.429)
You're allowed to be a little skeeved out by Claudia and Louis, because at times their relationship can be less family love and more… lover love. This time's an example: Louis compares them to lovers using those exact words.
