alcoholic intoxication being used as a tool to facilitate entrapment, rape & violation of consent takes place so often in this book that armand’s recollection of his time with marius also heavily relying on rhetoric that evokes inebriation, particularly in the context of his sexual encounters with marius, doesn’t seem very coincidental.
throwing some select quotes from the scene between magnus & lestat under the cut because it also establishes this connection very explicitly.
