Interview with a Vampire and the anxiety of influence

     Vampires are creatures of appetite... they have no subconscious or rather they live out their subconscious... their id, ego and superego are one and the same. They are bisexual and Freud's psychology is the psychology of bisexuals... there is almost no difference between the male and female bisexual... their sexual organs are expressed through their fangs... whether the vulva or the phallus and when they slit each other's wrist, it is another symbol of the vulva. When the Vampire Lestat makes Louis into a Vampire, he is making love to him, but it is disguised because Vampirism has its roots in the Victorian Age and the fear that the Victorians had of the Byronic Hero (described by Bertrand Russell as a philosophy of titanic self-assertion). The Byronic Hero is daring, bold, cynical, seductive and above all, could not care less about bourgeosie morals. If he is offended by someone's questioning his superiority, he simple kills that person in a dual... such a creature is Lestat... bold, beautiful, cynical and free of conscience. He bites Louis and transfers his experiences onto Louis and then mentors Louis with his Ideas, the main Idea being that we are exactly like God, made in his image, beyond good and evil. Louis is trying to find his own identity... but the anxiety of the influence he feels from Lestat... he if afraid of becoming like Lestat, especially afraid of his cruelty. If Lestat is America or Europe, Asian, African, and Hispanic cultures must feel like Louis... trying to find their identity through the struggle with America or Europe. And like Louis, many cultures that America or Europe colonized were left out in the cold when the colonialists left. With Japan and South Korea, after the World War II and the Korean War, America helped rebuild, helped out a few people establish a few industries and the left.
