Yeah I giggled at that bit where Lestat calls him out on his staring at candles XDD that was so great.
It really does feel like Louis is putting on airs constantly. He seems to be desperate to differentiate himself from Lestat, like “I’m not like that!” And this whole interview feels like one long justification of how he is special and on higher ground than Lestat. XD I mean, seriously, Louis!
At the very beginning of the book Louis talks about how his brother was the special one, how Louis was just really ordinary. This seems like a self-awareness that doesn’t happen until later in the story. I have a sense that at this point Louis is still somewhat shallow, and he acknowledges it in the interview in the beginning but not explicitly after that.
