The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I got a feeling this will die but I am not sure where else to put it.

Anyway, I wanted to know what others thought of the Interview with the vampire and the er, ladies from the house of ill repute scenes.

Please can you explain further as to the purpose of this thread.

What is it about this scene that you wish to discuss?

I guess from a VR perspective and vampires, was it ethical for them (the vampires) to take advantage of them (the prostitutes), and if so why? Additionally, would the wound to the ladies breast that was inflicted not be noticed sooner. I understand the theatrics but c'mon...that much blood and you'd have noticed something.

I might also add, that Lestat, in the scene with the prostitutes, was also trying to teach Louie to give in to his "gift" and to take blood from human life. At that time in the movie, Louie did not want to take human life, he'd rather survive draining the blood from animals and Lestat did not agree with this.

I think the scene had more to do with the idea of Lestat's teasing Louis then it really does the idea of him drinking from the girls. Lestat not only drains both women, he tosses the one into the coffin, scaring her while he taunts Louis before killing her.
Louis is disgusted by the whole thing. It is to draw the line between Lestat's nature and Louis'. The girls in the scene are just props.

Raven good answer, that was what I was looking for. A deconstruction of the event.

Any type of predator (in this case, vampires) has always had an eye for the oldest profession. Why? People are less likely to investigate the loss of someone of supposed low social class.

As horrible as it is- predators will go after prostitutes and minorities in small Southern towns because they have a better chance of minimal attention in comparison to the 'productive' member of society in the eyes of that community.
