❝ My lady mother had told me tales of Highgarden’s beauty but I did not imagine it would be as marvellous.❞ Desmera happily sighed as she was walking in the gardens. Such refinement was worth the long trip they had to endure from the Arbor.
meta on family relationships.
in advance, i hope you are ready to get my essay full on. as a disclaimer, i had to work as closely as i could to canon, and fill up the (many gaps) with what my interpretations and also what i had gathered from writers of muses other than my own.
Guimarães (2014) comprises fraternity as “group psychic entity with a specific psychic apparatus, [..]. In this sense, the fraternal bond is defined by the bond of affiliation, […], differentiating from fraternal relation, referring to the way in which the relationship occurs [..] ”. Therefore, the individual personalities and subjectivity of each brother help to form the fraternal bond, but how does the relation between them occur?
“Every lasting family relationship involves affections, desires and behaviors towards each and every one of its members” (ELYSEU JR., 1996 apud GUIMARÃES, 2014), and thus, it is understood as a fundamental basis for a healthy relationship between brothers. It is possible, at the first meeting, to define the fraternal relationship between the four Tyrells as a lasting relationship because of affection and the sense of belonging - characterizing a fraternity.
However, despite the apparent union, there are factors that make the relationship between them very complicated - from the personality of each one to the subjective experiences, passing through physical and generational distance.
➤ WILLAS, THE HEIR
House Tyrell - just like most of the houses in the Reach - is known for forming good and legendary knights; Garlan and Loras are good examples of this, but Willas has taken a less recognizable strand by focusing on the studies and administration of Highgarden, since his father, Mace, is given the title of Master of Ships and goes to King’s Landing. This path the young Lord took, however, did not come by choice, but for lack of thereof.
As an older brother, Willas is obviously the heir of the House, but to be sworn a knight becomes more important because he is conquered, not given birthright. This, coupled with family tradition and his own personality traits, makes Willas Tyrell a distant member within his own lineage.
Moreover, the Tyrells are quite proud and vain in general - the injury and reduced mobility that comes as a consequence (assuming that he does not accompany the brothers to the King’s Landing at the beginning of A Storm of Swords because he can not traveling long distances, staying in Highgarden) also infers in the relationship with his siblings and relatives. Willas will not want special attention, but at the same time he is envious of the brothers for the attention they receive and for everything they have conquered and / or been graced.
There is also the fact that he is the older brother. If Willas and Garlan are two years apart in age, Willas is eight and nine years older than Loras and Margaery, respectively. So the logical thing to think is that there is a greater closeness between the first middle brother than with the younger two - which is true, if only partially.
“From the moment the second child is born, the sharing, negotiations, judgments begin, and thus, the eldest child will need to reorganize their space and way of thinking” (FERREIRA, 2009), especially with such a short space of time, as is the case with the two older brothers. Usually there is no time to establish a common life by free choice, but by imposition (FERREIRA, 2009) - if both come from the same parents, these are brothers (in the case of biological siblings).
So, Garlan and Willas grew close because they had to grow close. Not that it is necessarily a bad thing; “The fraternal relationship functions […] as a laboratory for social life, where children learn to cooperate, lead, compete, rival and negotiate” (Minuchin 1982, Relvas, 1996). these lessons can be taken into adult life, as well as the fraternal relationship built.
With eight years between them, however, Willas and Loras no longer have the imposition of creating a brotherly bond between them - at least, not one so friendly. The fact of belonging to a previous generation also contributes to the distancing and inevitable ideological confrontation. However:
Fraternal struggles are common to most families, regardless of the differences in values, style or philosophy of life of each of them. These struggles, characteristic of the whole fraternal group, have a more playful than aggressive character, their purpose being to conquer and preserve a space within the group and guarantee their individuality. (FERREIRA, 2009).
Confrontations between siblings helps to build a sense of individuality and - in the case of siblings of different generations, as it is here - to promote progress in ideologies and change of some paradigms.This distance, however, is not only between ages but also geographical. When Loras was old enough to form crystallized affectionate memories with his older brother (with all the brothers, in truth), Willas had already been sent away as a squire; and when Willas returned to Highgarden due to his wound, Loras had already (possibly) been sent to Storm’s End as a ward/squire of House Baratheron, after the defeat of Mace Tyrell at the Siege of Storm’s End (MARTIN, 1996).
Who was there when the heir returned was the youngest sister, Margaery. Again, they have a very large age gap to ignore - almost a decade, but there is also the fact that Margaery is the only female sibling, and she is the youngest of them all. Therefore, there is a common sense of protection among all three older siblings to Margaery, stronger in Willas, for being the first, and in Loras, for being the closest in birth (thus returning everything discussed earlier about siblings with close age).
If with Loras there is constant friction for being of different generations, the fact that Margaery is a woman already causes Willas not to demonstrate the same behavior, preferring a more gentle approach whenever it happens to disagree on something. The bond of affection between them is also strengthened by the family’s compassion at the time Willas was injured - behavior this reflected and imitated by Margaery, who was a child.
➤ GARLAN, THE LORD
Garlan does not have the same obligations as his eldest brother when it comes to inheritance and birthright, but he is still a Tyrell from Highgarden and so is also looking to be sworn in as a knight. In truth, the two brothers could not be more different when it comes to personality. Even growing together, as already explained above, it is logical that each will have its own individuality and personality.Where Willas is quiet and even sullen, Garlan is outgoing and considerate. Thus, they complement each other and learn from each other, as already mentioned above. There is also the fact that Garlan looks up to his older brother as a leading figure - especially as he takes control of the Brightwater and becomes Lord. It is not something he has ever seen, for he would only become Lord of Highgarden if both Mace and Willas died, or if the eldest brother has no children.
Thus, he is able to focus solely on becoming a knight and his relationship with his wife, Leonette Fossoway. However, the fact of having so many successes (or what passes as socially acceptable successes) catches the attention of his father. Mace Tyrell, like Olenna Tyrell, has imposed that affection is earned through conquest, and can be denied when there is failure. Therefore, an already married son, Lord of his own lands, and renowned as a knight, gets more affection from his father than the brother who was wounded and has no titles (yet), or family of his own. However, Garlan can see this manipulation and repudiate it by refusing to be proud of his deeds and erasing his older brother from his own family’s sights.
To deny pride is not to deny glory, and this is where Garlan and Loras come to. Both are middle brothers, even with a few years between the birth of one another, and no matter how much Goldsmid and Féres-Carneiro (2011) say that “among siblings we find the rivalry as a reflection of what is inherent in the human being and in the (as is the case of the younger brother in his process of construction as an individual) ”[…] we observe the uninterrupted continuity of fratricidal wars,“ Alfred Adler (1870-1937) will already say that the middle son, who has neither pampering nor suffering from abandonment, will grow to be successful, even if he also develops a rebellion for being isolated.
Therefore, the relationship between the two middle brothers is one of conflict to overlap with the other (more on the part of Loras than Garlan himself, as will be better addressed in the next topic).
Margaery has not a relationship so close to the second older brother. Both belong to completely different worlds, and this lack of traits in common causes them to have nothing to start with in a truly fraternal relationship - becoming siblings simply because they were born from the same father and mother. Garlan is protective of the younger sister by sense of duty as elder brother and knight.
➤ LORAS, THE KNIGHT
Loras, as said earlier, is the third child. No tasks or pressures were given to him, which gives him the freedom to behave as he wishes (as long as he does not tarnish the honor of the family) and to trace his own way. If he were the youngest sibling, he would also have the pleasures provided by the parents - even taking into account the "conditional love” explained in the past - but Loras is the middle brother and therefore, more than the others, he must win all affection that you wish to have. Explain why she is so outgoing and constantly looking for people.
This constant search for acceptance is one of the causes for which Loras conflicts with older siblings, but it is also the motive that is so close to Margaery. For her there is nothing to immediately prove or antagonize in search of recognition. It also adds to their relationship that they grew up together in early childhood - just when both older siblings were away.
➤ MARGAERY, THE QUEEN
Margaery was educated by her grandmother to know how to satisfy those around her in a more beneficial way for herself, which may influence her relationship with her own relatives; she understands that she must be what people need and molds herself into it, becoming a companion to Willas (being him a disabled brother will also influence how Margaery sees him, his solitary nature and the disability on account of the leg is what appeals to his younger sister to take care of him - even if not physically), a younger, dear sister to Garlan, and a confidant friend, through letters, to Loras.
Again, the teaching that love is something to be won can be used here, accompanied by the grandmother’s tutelage, to explain why Margaery “accepts” to be used as a tool in the family’s quest for power and the Iron Throne. As a woman, she is at a disadvantage in the classically sexist, medieval system, so she must use intelligence and cunning to get what she wants without showing; as the youngest, it is reserved to her all the affection on the part of the brothers - which also reflected and repeated by the other relatives and friends.
But such affection does not come to merit, and so it must do as the family wants, if it wishes to be loved, and this will also be reflected in how it relates to other people.

❝ The Reach will RIOT. ❞ Desmera told her cousin as days had passed since they had been wrongfully arrested. ❝ Our lord fathers and the sworn houses will not stand by and let us be kept prisoners.❞ The redhead spoke reassuring words as much for Margaery as to comfort herself.

FOREST’S EDGE IS THE ONLY ALLUSION TO VERDANT LIFE. Deeper within lies an amalgamation of treachery, certain danger. Even to one as a keeper of such woods, the labyrinthine pathways present a troublesome venture. Here where winding roots meet the measly swaying grasses, and the bitter breeze from the mountain peaks nigh scalp the land, the Forest of Great Fear appears almost as a balm, a haven for one that might duck away from the elements. This sanctuary is false, as she has just learned. Legolas’ foe lies in the crook of a fallen tree, its legs bent, twitching. The squeal had only fuelled his victory, spurred on his hunt.
‘ A spider’s bite is deadly, even to those who dwell with them. ’ Unbridled impatience pinches that timbre, melodic even in frustration. ‘ You would do well to head whence you came. ’

“Then I must not hide it very well.” For she should not know about it. At least, he thought he shouldn’t exude such things. His family was in shambles, yet he shouldn’t be focusing on such things. There was so much more to worry about now. The dark night was coming for them all.
He had to focus his thoughts on that. Nothing else. Yet if only he had put his family first all those years ago. Maybe…
Maybe they could have made it too. | @tyrellain
