I see a lot of people online saying that Orpheus (Hadestown specifically) looks back because he loves Eurydice so much, that there isn't a world in which he doesn't look back, because the kind of man who wouldn't look back is not the kind of man who would go after her in the first place, etc. It's inevitable because of the strength of his love. But I don't see that as being the whole picture. Textually, it is explicitly his doubt in himself, and in the narrative of his life, that makes him look back: "Doubt Comes In", and he wonders, who is he that Hades would let him win? Who is he that Eurydice would follow him through the dark? Orpheus used to have a very simple, naive view of the world and his place in it. He was single-minded. At the beginning he tells Eurydice he's the man who is going to marry her because...well, that's how the story should go, and he is a poet first and foremost. Then, when he meets Hades, he is confronted by what Eurydice did and what the world is really like. He is shattered by the realisation that Eurydice wasn't just a simple, "pure" victim, but that she signed her life away. He is beaten down and loses faith, he goes into "Is this how it is?" after he's literally already done the impossible by reaching Hadestown on foot. He should have proven his abilities to himself by this point, but things aren't going the way they are supposed to and he doesn't know who he is anymore. He isn't just a boy in love with a girl who sings a song to bring back spring: he's a boy who didn't look back when he should have the first time when she called his name; she's a girl who chose her immediate needs over his grand ideals. His faith in a world where they make it back together is broken. He looks back because he doesn't trust himself or the narrative that he's found himself in. It's even more heartbreaking to me, because the Orpheus he was at the beginning of the musical might not have looked back, but that version of Orpheus doesn't make it out of the Underworld.
And to top it all off, the version of Eurydice from the beginning of the musical, before love softened her hard edges and made her trust him, probably wouldn't have followed Orpheus out of Hadestown. Eurydice really does trust him to get her out, because she's looking for the Orpheus she used to know and she's seen the power of his song and worldview.
Am I rambling into the void or does this make sense to anyone else?

While I agree with the criticisms of racist writing devices in season 3 (as well as the lament at the loss of the black writers from the first 2 seasons), I would like to add that, in addition to all of this, the final episode of The Vampire Lestat gave us...to be frank, absolutely nothing of value to carry into the next season.
There were plenty of things I enjoyed about this season, plenty of things I felt like they did get right from the books. But what was the purpose of that finale? An entire hour of out-of-character behavior from Armand and Daniel—two people who would never fucking do that and never fucking say that—with Lestat being relegated to fake conversations in his mind and Louis being viciously tortured.
Nothing of plot relevance happens in that finale. Nothing that was pulled from the books that could have been relevant to the continuation of the story. Nothing that could set us up for Queen of the Damned, nothing that enriched the characters' arcs in any way.
There were so many parts of the book that I expected to see in this season, things I was looking forward to because they would make other narrative choices make sense, and they never came. Things that would have given depth to literally all of our main players. Instead, it was an hour of meaningless plot devices, wildly ooc character direction, and brutalizing characters for no reason.
I still have a lot of things I really loved about The Vampire Lestat, and I still look forward to seeing Anne Rice's books being adapted to screen. But goddamn, I hope Rolin Jones learns from his mistakes this season.

THE VAMPIRE LESTAT 1.06 Montreal Devil's Minion overtaking Loustat as the Nr. 1 Interview with the Vampire ship on ao3 11.07.2026
When a post you made a month ago suddenly gets notes, don't look at them, you are being misinterpreted
the very idea that someone could sit down, watch lestat puke while still trying to rationalize the abuse, have a full blown panic attack over it when louis yells that there is no rationalizing this, and then go say it's consensual...that it's not portrayed as abuse...insane...
i also think a lot of people aren't really getting the *point* of louis' reaction. it's extremely harsh and judgmental and completely insensitive to the fact that lestat is being abused, but that is the purpose of it. the entire season is lestat attempting to justify it. this is louis saying that you cannot justify it. there is no rational way to justify that happening. and when lestat has a breakdown over it, they both sort of realize at the same time that this means lestat has been suffering incestuous sexual abuse for 200 fucking years.
it overwhelms lestat, and it clicks for louis. that's when he changes tacts, when he comforts lestat, when he gently tries to help him admit that it's been abuse all along in the bar. it's so realistic, such a necessary sequence.
i think there is unfortunately a knee jerk reaction people have to abuse like this, esp when it's mother/son, where it's just "gross", "weird", or "sick", as louis says. where the child is not taken to be a victim, somehow. i think the show is very honest in having this be louis' initial reaction, until he sees lestat's panic, until he properly thinks it through for a second. and then he gets it, and he feels horrible about what he said. again, it's just all very realistic and bittersweet. everyone involved did an incredible job with this storyline imo.
im probably bipolar (II) but I have too much going on rn so idc
