i read on quora that cersei killed melara to prevent the prophecy from happening and i never thought of it that way (and if i did i don’t remember). i felt jealousy was a weak excuse but if cersei was scared of what she heard and she killed her friend to contain the secret so she could make sure maggy's prophecy never happens, that makes the whole situation less annoying and more fascinating. no wonder cersei saw melara during the walk of shame. cersei has been through a lot of horrible things and she never thought of her friend (as far as we know) and yet after joffrey's murder and cersei's youth has left her, the prophecy and the circumstances she heard it feel more real than ever.
