Part 6, Chapter 6 Summary

Lestat stays in the ground. Lestat is not motivated to come out of the ground, even though he feels as though he is dying from lack of sustenance. His starvation leads him to daydreams and illusions. As an immortal, he knows he can live for eternity this way, although he knows that his body has shrunken down to their bones and he is severely weakened.

Part 6, Chapter 6 Analysis

While Lestat lays in the ground, he is reminded that he left Nicki's violin in his house. Lestat feels very strongly that he needs to get it and do something with it. He thinks about giving it to a mortal or someone who will do something with it. The violin itself seems to have its own destiny laid out for it. There is a great deal of volatility surrounding this instrument and Lestat's fixation on it suggests that something else will happen involving it.
