Vampys!

Vampires have always been appealing. Their ability to live for hundreds of years gives them the opportunity to witness timeless changes. The movie an Interview With The Vampire incorporates homoerotic symbolism. The director uses handsome men to capture the "gaze" of the viewers. Also, their actions are sexualized. I also found a connection, that they lead a life that is "bittersweet." Eros the bittersweet states that life can be bittersweet, where one can experience a simultaneous feeling of bitterness and sweetness. Louie's life ironically becomes bittersweet. He is a vampire that must kill, yet he has a conscious not to kill. At times his life becomes hectic and unbareable. Louie must battle his innate vampiric desires while needing blood to survive.
