Interview with the Vampire Theme of Love

You might say I love you forever to someone and mean it. But when you're a vampire, forever is a really, really long time. Nothing is ever simple with vampires. Love, like anything else, is complicated when eternal life gets added into the mix.

In Interview with the Vampire, love and hate are two sides of the same coin, and this coin is always spinning in the world of the vampires, especially when it comes to Claudia. Maybe being trapped in the body of a five-year-old makes her especially emotional, but she waffles between love and hate for Louis and Lestat on an almost hourly basis.
