A Claudia-centric video to the song "I Want More" by Allison Fischer, as featured in the Vampire Chronicles musical, "Lestat: The Musical".
This video features much lip-synching failure. Sorry. xD
LYRICS:
Don't chastise me!
I'm a child acting as a child does.
You ply me with lifeless dolls
When what I want is blood.
You took me from the streets to complete this union.
Do you expect some little saint kneeling for communion?
I want more! I want more!
Look at you! You disapprove, like two fussy mothers.
Who are you, to criticize the habits of another?
And did I rock the family boat by dining on the help?
Aren't I just the little beast? Well I can't help myself!
I want more! I want more!
I don't want their milk and honey,
They can keep those fine herb teas.
I don't need their chocolate, hot and sweet,
It's thick and red for me.
For everyone that comes along, knocking on this door,
Don't blame me, it's your fault that
I want more!
Louis: My darling, it's not your fault. It's Lestat's.
Lestat: My fault!?!
Louis: You're not loving enough to her!
Lestat: I give her everything her black little heart desires, and still she does this!
Louis: She's trying to get your attention!
Look at me, I'm so sweet!
I'm innocent and charming.
But all you see is some spoiled brat, a child so demanding!
Don't fuss so! You both know the rapture of the bite!
It's not monstrous,
It's just Claudia's healthy appetite!
And I want more! I want more!
Should I be the little miss, and while away the hours?
I think not, I'd rather hunt than cut up paper flowers.
Thanks to you, the things I do verge on the obscene.
What a pair of hypocrites! Well this cat wants her cream!
I want more! I want more! I want more!
Lestat: You're too lenient!
Louis: You're too cold!
Lestat: She needs to be punished!
Louis: She needs love and kindness!
I'll wander through the streets at night and find a charming couple
Who'd fear that such an angel lost could find herself in trouble.
They can't resist my trembling lip, my eyes so filled with tears.
They rest my head upon their necks...
Oh dear!
More! I want more! I want more!
I don't want their milk and honey,
They can keep those fine herb teas.
I don't need their chocolate, hot and sweet,
It's thick and red for me!
For everyone that comes along, knocking on this door,
Don't blame me, it's your fault that
I want more!
I want more, I want more!
I...Want...More!

Claudia was such a little brat. I understand her situation and I feel bad that she was stuck in that body, but she blamed Lestat soley and it was louis's fault as well. In fact, Lestat even points out that Louis lied about a lot of crap in his books in all the other novels.

@TheLadyofCamelot 1.) You can't really trust either of them cause they're both unreliable narrators. 2.) In many ways she had come to see Louis as a lover rather than a father. & Lestat who had all of Louis' romantic love at the time(whether Louis admits it or not it's clear from his actions in the later novels that hes in love) had to go. She also felt trapped by Lestat, who was keeping them in that house (for their own good, but they didn't understand that). It's not right, but understandable.

@DaisukeKenSama Honestly, those are excellent points and I see what you mean. :) The only thing with the narrators however, is Lestat admits to his unreliability, Louis however seems a bit high and mighty. I understand a lot of what Louis went through was tragic and everything. But he did ask for death and in that it wasn't Lestat's fault that he answered.

@TheLadyofCamelot That's all true...In the end, I don't think you can fully blame any of them, because they each share a part of the blame. But it's very fascinating to think about, hence why we all love them so much. XD
