The Vampire Lestat |
 | | Lestat also "inherits" the accumulated wealth of the vampire who transforms him and his wealth only continues to grow, as does the material wealth of most of the novel's other vampire characters, due in part to their longevity and to the emerging capitalist system. |
 | | Lestat confesses, "I think I was offended by death unless I was the cause of it!" (126) and the sensation of drinking blood is elaborately described in ecstatic terms. |
 | | Lestat relates, "The taste of blood and the feel of blood, and what it meant for all passion, all greed, to be sharpened in that one desire, and that one desire to be satisfied over and over with the feeding and the death" (156). |
