interview with a vampire why did claudia die
Claudia (The Vampire Chronicles) Shortly after this, the Parisian vampires abduct the three of them and take them to the Théâtre des Vampires, where it is revealed that Lestat is alive and has sought revenge for Claudia's crimes against him. The punishment for any vampire who attempts to kill their own kind is immediate death. Lestat's plea to be allowed to take Louis away is ignored as Louis is sentenced to an eternity of starvation, locked inside a coffin. Though Louis's life is spared, Claudia and Madeleine are left to die in a room where they cannot escape exposure from the sun, which of course is fatal to any vampire. Claudia is burned to death and turned to ashes, her death spurs Louis - who has escaped his prison with Armand's help - into a hostile rage that inspires him to take vengeance on the vampires, torching the Théâtre des Vampires and setting it ablaze before killing all the vampires inside. He escapes the scene with Armand and the two vampires leave together. It is Claudia's death that finally turns Louis cold and away from his "mortal passion," a death that Armand forever mourns.
