The quote: "I knew peace only when I killed, only for that minute: and there was no question in my mind that the killing of anything else less then human being brought nothing but a vague longing, the discontent which had brought me so close to humans, to watch there lives through glass."
The question: " Why does Louis feel this way why Lestat feels nothing?
Comments: Vampires, these people of the night that "we" seem to chase after. The vampire is creature all of desire and no restrictions. So why is it that Anne Rice makes Louis so week, so human. Lestat is the exact opposite. Louis we collect to on a human Level but lestat is the true object of affection because he doesn't have that little voice in the back of our head telling us that what makes is happy is wrong. Is doing what makes you happy wrong. When i first thought of it the book almost seems not to be saying that life as a vampire is a curse but rather human empathy is but if you really think about it. I believe she is saying that the ability to not be selfish is the great es human trait. To me though is living a true life living a unhappy one. Maybe Lestat though in terms the stories villain is simply the only one being truthful. He does what is his nature and is diffing our nature, our happiness to live a life of regret, need of redemption and comforimty really whats best. I the best for the world.
