Quote #4
"The sucking mesmerized me." (1.148)
Ah, here we go, talking about sucking again. Making a vampire requires sucking by both parties. The vampire sucks the blood from his victim, and then the victim, well, reciprocates. But the victim is also forced into it. If the victim does not suck, he will die. Is vampire-making consensual? Sort of? Not really?
Quote #5
"A young man around your age would have appealed to [Lestat] in particular. [...] They represented the greatest loss to Lestat, because they stood on the threshold of the maximum possibility of life." (1.175, 1.177)
Lestat lusts after young men not just for their looks, but also for the joy of extinguishing their promising lives. That's pretty much it in a nutshell.
