Thinking about IWTV, as I often do, and I think for me Lestat is Claudia's mother, in a sense. There is a real toxic mother/daughter vibe to their relationship - both of them being jealous of each other over Louis' affection, how Louis begs Lestat to make Claudia a vampire - kind of analogous to a man pressuring his wife into having a child when she's the one who's got to actually go through the pregnancy. The fact they piss each other off in part because they're so similar - they dislike their own reflection in each other. But Lestat does love her, so deeply, but by the time he can actually get past all of that petty bullshit, it's too little, too late.
There are Sooo many people that don't like or even hate Lestat because they've only seen the show
It's nearly impossible to dislike Lestat if you read the books, not only because he's literally the main character, but also because you get to see the complexity of his character
He's not a villain, and it irks me to no end that the show has portrayed him as such up to this point
I'm praying that season 3 will change some minds
