Castration Confusion

[rgh]

From what I gather, and what has been previously mentioned, the "turning" process is very swift. So Eli, unable to procure food for herself while being kept by the lord, would have needed him to provide a regular, fresh supply of victims to keep him alive. Therefore, Eli may have, probably would have, had his little friends over for dinner, not strangers like in later times, but his playmates from the village. If this is the case, the "Be me a little." only gave Oskar (and us) a very small fraction of the true horrors Eli had been through.

I am certain the full vision of the horrors in Eli's past would be enough to leave any of us a quivering pile curled up on the floor.

I think a_contemplative_life has the most convincing (hypothetical, of course) explanation for the actions of the Vampire Lord. Defiling children in this way was his way of defying God. The mutilated vampire children became his dark angels. He probably considered himself an equal to Satan.
