Mid-20th century domestic arts was centered around the idea that wifehood was a privilege. Women were housed, fed, and loved, and in return, they ensured that their husbands had everything they needed to live happy, successful lives. It was a huge responsibility. They were in charge of their husband's nutrition, appearance, and temperament. He would need well-cooked meals at the proper hour, drinks in the sitting room, and a skilled conversationalist--someone who had studied him and understood what he needed to hear.All of these duties were to be performed with a sense of presentation and poise. Hair, nails, and makeup were all integral to maintaining a healthy marriage. Women didn't want their husbands looking elsewhere.Many of life's failings could be traced back to a lazy, neglectful housewife. Women were the machine behind the magic. They kept their husbands afloat. Everything they did, from cleaning to ironing, helped maintain a stable home. That was their ultimate goal in life. There were radicals who believed that women should have the right to live as they saw fit. But that went against everything society believed in. Man was meant to follow God's law, not his own whims, and God said that wives were to submit themselves to their husbands as unto the Lord.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for episode 1 of 'Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire.'In 1973, when Anne Rice wrote The Interview with the Vampire, she was an atheist, who based her universe off of the idea that magic and gods were nothing more than myths; instead, she explained, there were things humans simply didn't understand.She went about creating her own pantheon of bloodthirsty, vampiric deities, each a living archetype of human nature. There was Marius, the traditionalist, who worshipped the first of their kind; Lestat de Lioncourt, the god of pride and the hunt, who celebrated his immortal existence; then Louis de Pointe du Lac, an enigma whose forlorn sympathy for humans made him impossible to hate. Louis rejected his own nature. He was a vampire who carried around the burden of guilt, like a cross he refused to lay down. For years he struggled with his own instincts, often surviving off of rodents and vermin instead of the human blood he needed to nourish himself. He would defer to his Catholic upbringing, calling himself damned and undeserving of salvation. He cursed his companion Lestat for making him, saying that they would one day end up in hell for the things they had done. He was unique. No other character in Anne Rice's universe felt the way he did. Many of them experienced guilt. There was anger, grief, and a visceral disgust behind the act. But they all came to accept what they were. They didn't torture themselves the way Louis did. That was his fight.
