train of thought that didn't make it into my episode three liveblog
(contains discussions of suicidality and domestic violence)
at the end of episode three we have a scene that seems to pretty straightforwardly mirror the pilot: an 'irrational' louis, overcome with grief, staggering through the streets of his city, seeking redemption or refuge
...all my conceptions, even my guilt and my wish to die...
louis explicitly says "i wanna die" during the confession scene, which fits lewis' emotional status in the novel
he doesn't say anything similar about the ending of episode three, but to conclude that he was, to some degree, suicidal doesn't seem a reach based on what's on the screen, and we could extrapolate from the source!
in the book, lewis gets jumped by lestat when he's drunkenly seeking to get himself killed in a bar fight...
and later, when he agrees to be made into a vampire, he's contemplating thoughts of suicide
before he finds and feeds from claudia, he has a fight with lestat, and thinks: "i have to leave him or die"
—but in the book, he leaves claudia for dead, and lestat kidnaps and turns her to keep lewis from leaving him (and perhaps, we're led to understand, committing suicide)
however, in the show, the events of claudia's turning change!
our louis is not guilty in the way that lewis is guilty by virtue of having nearly killed the girl, he is responsible for the choice to make claudia into a vampire
but the tradeoff is still the same
you were ready to abandon our home. now you want a third.
and it's later, in episode six, that lestat kidnaps and holds claudia hostage, explicitly to keep louis 'happy', that is, not actively suicidal
—i teased the sun that night in jackson square. thought about the walking cane and pile of ash they'd find in the morning. but paul had forever ruined grace's wedding night, and i would not do the same to claudia on the anniversary of her escape. if i was to join dante's wood of the self-murdered, it would be another night. and so i endured my way home…
—back to the crypt.
—back to the undeserving lestat.
—you didn't want me. you made me for louis.
—and he needs you now more than ever. he's in a terrible state.
—he said i could go. he picked you over me.
—louis couldn't pick an apple off a tree in his current state. he'd grip it, tug at it, and, weak as he is, the stem would hold.
—let me go, lestat.
—in louis' hour of need? i'm afraid i can't allow that. he's very fragile right now, worse than the last time you abandoned him (...) we endure each other for louis' happiness. so come home and make him happy. because if you try this again, claudia, i won't snap your leg, defile your pocket, and zoom off on a motorbike. i'll turn your bones to dust.
sound familiar?
well, that last bit was something of a digression, but what it adds to my train of thought is that the show seems to be keeping to some of the core emotional elements of these story beats, and, if he's indeed suicidal before he's turned, and he's indeed suicidal when lestat holds claudia hostage 'for his sake', then there's reason to assume that he was indeed suicidal the night he found claudia, right?
so, my conclusion, the end of episode three and the beginning of episode four function as a loose parallel of the ending of the pilot, with the most obvious mirroring being the sequence of events:
a fight with lestat (funeral march, rue royale)
a respectively drunk and manic louis staggering through the streets
louis seeks to make amends with his god by confessing and with his people by helping them
louis is explicitly suicidal at the end of the pilot and there are grounds to interpret him as being, to some degree, suicidal at the end of episode three
lestat convinces louis to agree to be turned into a vampire, louis convinces lestat to make claudia into a vampire, and both scenes directed in roughly similar ways
and there's something else!
i was thinking during my liveblog about the fact that claudia's origin story seems to have been 'lifted' from rose's story, which might be a way of seeding a meaningful moment that will be called back to later, or simply folding a minor character into a major one, but which allows for yet another parallel:
in both scenes, louis runs towards fire in a moment of 'redemptory' 'heroism'...
and both louis and claudia are 'reborn' from the flames

ldpdl, ethnicity, and the false monolith of blackness
there's this false tendency to think amc louis being made black is pandering, or a means of removing louis from his oh-so-detailed /sarcasm/ background in the books. i also find that people tend to not even understand what show louis's ethnic background is, despite rolin jones the showrunner and even the fictional louis both coalescing around this multigenerational explanation of the gens de couleur in new orleans, and how jim crow disempowered them.
I came around to his ethnicity a sort of interesting way which is through Lestat. [ … ] I was like lets give him a legitimate a third attempt at figuring how to be with somebody for the rest of his life and how to not repeat your mistakes. [ … ] I started from there so it had to be someone with some money cause he had to be with his own folks and I thought he wanted someone who could fight back and who could be a challenge and would force him to restrain himself. And nobody at AMC was interested in 7 seasons of the regretful plantation owner, so we made Louis come from a lineage that did have a plantation and did own slaves.
rolin jones in the s1 post-finale episode of the podcast names how he came to this understanding of louis's character. lestat, after failing to make a bride of his mother, and a concubine of nicki, was seeking for someone of a similar background, or the most approximate equivalent. he would not have been interested in louis if louis was an anglophone baptist black man descended from upper-south arrivals into new orleans, nor would he have been interested in louis if louis was a poor black creole honestly s1 does not give a good reading of claudia's ethnic bg in new orleans, but since she cannot understand french, we can presume shes either a poor creole removed from her cultural background with her vampiric adoption narrative in mind, or was also of an anglophone baptist black background like claudia was. louis coming from this fallen sort of gentry, the free gens de couleur, similar to that of the tvl lestat who came from this barren aristocracy dating back to the crusades, was key to lestat's long-term goals with louis.
Capital accrued from plantations of sugar and the blood of men who looked like my great grandfather but did not have his standing. But then decades of Jim Crow and the electrified light of a new century had vanquished any idea of a free man of color. - AMC IWTV 1x01
louis was of the first generations of the gens de couleur to be born, raised into, and face the institutional and personal ramifications of being viewed as black in america. this fuels much of the character's rage as he moves through storyville, trying to continue the similar modality of exploitation to the contrary of pretty baby with brooke shields, majority of the brothel circuit was statistically black girls + women being sexually pawned off to white men but ultimately failing to do so bc of the anglophone white american class that now rules over him. [tom anderson, alderman fenwick, finn o’shea starting out as louis’s subordinate then ending w/ him entering whiteness by having a sporting house throwing torches at louis’s brothel in s1e3]
By 1850, the free population of color, beset by the hostility of white supremacy, was economically diminished and residentially segregated. The Americanization of Louisiana, and in particular New Orleans, was completed before the state became the sixth to secede from the Union in 1861 in the struggle over the perpetuation of slavery. [link]
The Democratic redeemers who came to power in 1877 lost no time in redefining the Negro's "place" in Louisiana life. They immediately restored the color line in the New Orleans public schools and offered silent support to de facto segregation practices in places of public accommodation. With the assistance of two landmark decisions by the United States Supreme Court, the redeemers soon dismantled the egalitarian legal apparatus put together piece by piece under the Radicals. Finally in 1890 they began to write their "final solution" into Louisiana law with a series of "separate but equal" statutes. Soon New Orleans Negroes were again segregated in virtually every public pursuit. [link]
