Incestuous relationships and the unbearable intimacy of shared identity.

Game of Thrones, 6x06 "Blood of My Blood" / Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë / Revolutionary Girl Utena, Episode 15 "The Landscape Framed By Kozue" / Bates Motel, 1x01 "First You Dream, Then You Die" / Liam Gallagher & Noel Gallagher, Oasis, Knebworth 1996 / House of Incest by Anaïs Nin / House of the Dragon, 1x07 "Driftmark" / Flowers in the Attic by V.C. Andrews.

Projection and identification are living ways of experiencing the life of another (...) I saw in June some freedom of action which I wanted to have and, as a young woman, could only achieve by identifying with it. In House of Incest, the poetic image of two aspects of woman was pursued and became the two faces, the night and day faces, of woman, one all instinct, impulse, desire, impetus without control, the other who had sought control by awareness. The only danger, of course, is that one strong personality can submerge the other; one can feel the loss of himself in the other (as frequently happens in love), but there is no life without danger, and the other danger, the danger of alienation (and through alienation, non-love, or hatred, or destructiveness, dehumanization), I consider far greater. (...) In the case of proximity where the danger of losing one’s self occurs, the psychological drama becomes one of disentangling the confusions.
