Love Quotes in Interview with the Vampire

We're not sure if Claudia is antagonizing Louis (as if she's asking him what he could possibly know about love), or if she really doesn't understand what love means. Maybe she does understand, but she's bitter about the fact that, stuck in a five-year-old's body, she'll never really have it. We'd be bitter, too.

Here we see Louis telling us how vampires equate killing with love. Maybe they do love their victims? If a vampire loved us, we'd rather have a box of chocolates than a bite to the neck, fang you very much. We wonder, though, if this connection between sex and death is really limited to vampires. After all, the French call "culmination of physical love" a "little death." What do you think? Is sex just kind of violent or deadly in general? In a way?

Louis is shocked to hear that Armand and his maker loved each other. Louis hates Lestat so much, he can't even imagine a world in which he might have loved the man.
