Louis’ Journey To Reason: A New Age Analysis Of Anne Rice’s Interview With The Vampire (1976)



Authors : Bessedik Fatima Zahra .

Abstract

The primal focus of this paper is to discuss Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire (1976) as a New Age novel. In so doing, I illustrate that Rice’s novel bears a universal theme of humanity being subject to an endless encounter with what Plato calls Appetite and Reason, the two faculties of the soul that shape the good and evil in the self. The paper seeks to discuss Rice’s epistemology of self-transcendence as displayed in Louis, a two-hundred-year-old vampire made by Lestat. In light of this, part of this paper will be devoted to discuss Louis as a New Age hero.
