When Claudia felt the sorrow of the vampire, it was just that another desire in her heart could not be satisfied. Desire, all tragedies arise because of it. For Claudia and Louis, any sobriety is not fortunate. Escape from the numbness, stand on the edge of the numbness, and watch the rest of the same kind continue in the numbness. However, they are still ghosts, and in this twisted ghost world, they can only mourn and sorrow endlessly! Just like the conversation between Lu Xun and Qian Xuantong about the "Iron House", the awake person wakes up the sleeping person, and only a few more people can cry together, so the awake person bears all the pain alone. But at this moment, Louis couldn't wake up any of his companions at all. Loneliness is doomed, not understood is doomed.
So he looked at the modern man who was happy enough and left sadly. A person who already has the right to live as a human being, who is willing to step into the abyss that cannot be restored for greater enjoyment, how can he not be disappointed!
I have watched an Austrian musical "Dance of Vampires", which said that the vampires in the play allude to modern people. They are full of wisdom, live a rich life, can get it at any time, and live a regular life-but! They are lonely, they are cruel, they do not know sympathy and understanding, they only live to satisfy the desire that bursts in their chests, and they sacrifice a group of weak and innocent people for themselves every day. Mankind is developing towards the extinction of humanity. I think "Interview with the Vampire" also reveals this. People whose spirits are dead, devour those who are still alive-a world where people cannibalize. Sitting in the theater, Louis and Claudia saw a group of ghosts rushing forward, sharing the girl as a sacrifice of blood. The freshness, purity, and beauty created by God became blood drips in the teeth of the group of ghosts. There is no heaven in the ghost world. Louis and Claudia's faces are stubborn and indifferent. What is their heart?
Modern people are metaphorized as vampires, or the bloody nature of ghosts, and they really fall on people. Or, many people are not only ghosts, but sadly puppets and marionettes of ghosts. Just like Lestat said about Claudia, "a doll, a little daughter to be spoiled by her side", until she really grows up inside and starts to resist. What is the exchange of every day like a machine? This is just a kind of consumption. The modern man who wants to become a vampire may also be eternal. Sarah, the heroine in the musical "Dance of Vampires," wants exactly this. Such greed may be satisfied if they think it is easy. But what is eternal? Happiness, wealth, crying, and love are not; only nothingness can stretch to any corner of time. This is embodied in vampires.
As a person, what else can we pursue? Too many pursuits are just repeating every move, every moment, and every thought of oneself. Too many pursuits make us a kind of machine, constantly filling the emptiness, filling, filling, endless.
But stay alive. We should live, in order to survive, and live well. There is blood, flesh, and soul, creating all the emotions that make companions want to cherish that moment. We shouldn't be so busy in a emptiness for ourselves. Since we stand in the sunshine so freely and without fear, what should we not be grateful for and cherish?
"Interview with the Vampire" is with a complex emotion, trying to use a kind hand to persuade those humans who are immersed in the night dream and push them back to the bright nature.
