Armand had never made a vampire himself in the nearly 500 years he's been one? I think my eyes would have gotten big with disbelief, too, had I been in Daniel's place. Something interesting and curious about both Armand and Claudia just occurred to me for the first time...ever.

Armand was also very young when he was made a vampire. It's a bit jarring to see the difference in the apparent age at the time Armand became a vampire when you compare Armand in Interview With the Vampire (1994) with Armand in this series. However, Armand is portrayed in the series as having been quite young at the time he became a vampire, which is a lot closer to the character of Armand in the Vampire Chronicles novels.But what has this to do with Claudia?

That depends on just how young Armand was when he became a vampire. Claudia was a child when she was made a vampire, rather than simply "very young". Armand had at least reached adolescence or early adulthood when he became a vampire. Despite Armand's eventful "unlife" over a period of nearly 500 years and all that he had done, both on his own and with other vampires he did not make, Claudia having been a child when made was enough to shock and offend even his sensibilities.

Claudia having been forced to remain a child for the rest of her long existence was something she would never be able to get past. She had not even gotten close enough to adulthood to at least try to pass herself off as someone who did not require adult supervision. And like any child, she hadn't exactly been given a choice.

So what happens now? What happens to Claudia, Louis, and this French dressmaker Claudia had chosen to be a mother figure to her? Especially since it now appears that Lestat was waiting in the dressing room as the three were revealed onstage?
