10/14 Vampires Have Eating Disorders

“Dieting and Damnation” opened a whole new meaning to what the vampire represented for me. I never thought that the vampire figure was similar to that of an anorexic. When applying it to Interview with the Vampire, I could see how Rice eliminated female characters and then gave male characters stereotypical female traits, such as being anorexic (in regards to Louis). I identify Lestat as a binge eater, the opposite of the anorexic, because he has little to no control over how many humans he consumes.
