I would like to know the groups' (coven? :) ) take on Ursula from Vittorio, The
Vampire. My take is that she was a conniver, she used Vittorio to get away
from the Court of the Ruby Grail, and then made him (this after murdering his
brother)
by completely tricking him....she used every power she had as an immortal to
dazzle him, sex, and his youth and vulnerability, and she took him for all he
was worth. Then she latched on to him, and he is even now by his own
admission, unhappy.

(I expect it is obvious I don't care for the lying, decieving, conniving
Ursula.)

Other opinions, please?

You "hit the nail on the head"

Other opinions, no way <grins>
Just kidding, anybody care to defend Ursula?

You said it, I don't know why, but even since I read that book I've
gotten the impression that Ursula was one of those evil little sweet girls.
You know, she acts all innocent and sweet and clings to Vittorio. Just the
real annoying type, and being a teenager, I unfortunately know more than a
few of them in life :) But yup, I never liked her much either.

I love that phrase, "evil little sweet girls!" I've met a few.

Now, now, no need to get harsh. She wasn't that bad.

Huh. It may be obvious now that I cannot dislike any of them, but I
really liked Ursula. I thought that she was being as truthful as she
could have been, and really cared for him. She needed help to get away
from the court, but we all need a little help sometimes. She was being
human. She had a kind of innocence, but it a kind we usually don't think
of as such. She always had someone to take care of her, and always
needed it. I think when she made him, she was really in love with him,
and besides... he saw angels. Nothings as bad as that. (just to clear
possibly murky waters, I liked him, too)

I've said it before and I'll say it again: The characters in Vittorio just weren't
developed enough to make an accurate judgment. *sigh* I don't know what Anne was
thinking when she wrote that book..

I have to agree.... I finished the book without really "relating" or feeling
like I "knew" any of the characters... Not even Vittorio....

It was an ok read, but nothing I would cherish...

Ya know, maybe if Vittorio would be a little more forthcoming on what he's up
to NOW, it would help. It's just that everything related, while interesting ,
somehow lacked the vitality of Lestat's story of his mortal years, or Armand's.
It all seemed so distant and dusty.
