Yes, he is! I would bet that he currently loves to learn about Italian culture, interior decorating, and he definitely loves the fashion. I imagine he’d have several wardrobe changes during his wedding, but this suit would definitely be in the rotation LOOK IT EVEN COMES W/ A TOP HAT AND CANE:

Lestat’s resentment doesn’t necessarily last forever. He talks about sending gifts and money to his family, and he even has a dream about turning all of them into vampires whether this is really more of a nightmare is left up to our interpretation 😛

It’s strange, while it’s true that he resents his male family members, he had a kind of resentment towards his mother, too (TVL):

I wanted to
tell her a lot of things, how much I loved her particularly. But I was
cautious. She had a way of cutting me off when I spoke to her, and
mingled with my love was a powerful resentment of her. All my life I’d
watched her read her Italian books and scribble letters to people in
Naples, where she had grown up, yet she had no patience even to teach
me or my brothers the alphabet. And nothing had changed after I
came back from the monastery. I was twenty and I couldn’t read or
write more than a few prayers and my name. I hated the sight of her
books; I hated her absorption in them.

It appears that he would have loved to learn about her side of the family during his childhood, but for her own reasons, she chose to withhold that information ;A;
