Interview with the Vampire AMC and The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice

I think one of the craziest and most interesting things about Lestat as a character (in the books at least) is that he pretty much never lies. We know that Louis and Armand for instance lie all the time to themselves and everyone around them. But not Lestat. That boy tells the truth to a fault. He stays away from Nicki for the first half of TVL because he knows he can’t lie to him about being a vampire. Even when he’s asked to lie to his fledglings about Those Who Must Be Kept, he struggles to do so and prefers to just “lie” by omission. And even then he ends up telling the truth about that to the entire world because he just can’t help himself. Lestat needs to tell the truth.

Louis tries really hard to represent Lestat as a liar but he just isn’t. The only time that Lestat does “lie” is by omission, or by subtly misrepresenting the truth which often manifests as him making himself appear more evil and vicious than he actually is. But even when he tries to lie he cannot help but tell the truth. Like he just cannot hold it in. And he gets himself into Situations because he is basically incapable of keeping up a lie.

Anyway thanks for coming to my Ted Talk or whatever.

Y’all ever think about how Marius flopped at every job he ever tried. Trying to write a history of the Roman Empire? No one cares. Becoming an Old God of the Druid grove? Nah. Medieval/renaissance painting? Your paintings are mediocre and will never be remembered. Those Who Must Be Kept? All it took was one disaster fledgling to show up with a violin to derail thousands of years of effort.

The incompetence is astounding. Homeboy is unemployable.
