#InterviewWithTheVampire #iwtv According to @slaysweeet who had a chat with Mara LaPere-Schloop, “Shelter” represents a shift in Louis. There are two figures in the painting, a mother and a child, embracing, holding the other figure in a protective way. 1/2

. @clddpdl brought up an excellent point too: Louis tries to khs by fire bc of how Claudia was executed, and Lestat after witnessing Claudia’s last moments goes back to Magnus’s lair. This is not male chara empowernment off the backs of a woman’s corpse, this is soul deep grief

Yes obviously you’re supposed to grieve Claudia and feel that her parents failed her. They did. But if your analysis ends at “woman die bad” I just don’t know what to say. Claudia didn’t die as a narrative function to give the men depth—the story is ABOUT loss.

Your analysis is not rooted in the text. If the show intended to frame what happened btwn Armand & Louis as a “wrong meets wrong” equal match of monsters, the entire episode would not revolve around Louis realizing the truth of what happened that night.

Exactly. Its a difference between Armand’s framing that he was captive to a seditious coven too, vs. seeing Armand’s writing in the margins of the script of the sham-trial that killed her.

See, what people miss is that at the time of “I will spend the rest of my life making it up to you.” and “You’ll never make it up to me.” Louis is operating on a faulty belief that Armand was just as much of a pawn as he was. [As its preceded by “Make a different plan with me?”]

And who clocked all of them? The one woman lead in the show. Claudia had some youthful ignorance & couldn’t see the full picture because of information wrongfully withheld. The tragedy is she was forced to pay the price of her family’s failures. But she was the cycle breaker.

Claudia’s on-stage role is emblematic of the child stars of the 1920s, which represents how TdV is yet another one of Armand’s creative ventures that remain (still) behind the age, but a particular child star I seek to highlight in comp is “Baby Esther”
