I think one of the ideas the author has put in place is this
idea morality. Often times in the book the vampire looks to what’s moral in
making his decisions in his new or I guess old lifestyle. There doesn’t seem to
be any evidence for why he’s choosing not to kill and for the majority of the
time, to do the right thing.
The vampire represents the good side of morality. Its
as if sometimes he’s not even a vampire, he’s turned into one but his
appreciation for human life has not diminished. He is still very
human in that way in in that way he makes moral decisions instead of
instinctual decisions or decisions based on an illusion that to be a vampire is
to be at a higher standing, to being a predator, which is often the side
(master) represents.
I think yes this idea of being privileged i.e. being a
vampire progresses through the book. They have this idea that
because there vampires they have this privilege to a ‘more important life’ that
there needs are more important than others. I mean this echo’s in so
many ways in modern society. You have the class system for one and then
you just have ignorant people who are privileges and honestly sometime I feel
like they don’t know better because that’s just how they were raised and no one
ever told them anything different.
