Sibling Horror Writing Assignment
1) I have the most amount of sympathy for Niles and Holland Perry because they are dealing with a death and an inability to cope. There is not fighting for power or greed. I have the least amount of sympathy for Mary Katherine and Constance Blackwood. Constance knew what her sister was, a murderer. She murdered her whole family and Constance didn’t do anything. Constance almost went to jail because of her sister.
2) I think Niles Perry is the most disturbed character. He is only disturbed because of his inability to properly grieve his brother’s death. However, this inability has led him to resurrect his brother Holland in his mind. It seems he began talking to nothing, but air; thinking its Holland. He didn’t kill or hurt anyone for a reason of money or power, but to keep his brother alive. I think Margaret De Lorca is the least disturbed character. She didn’t hurt anyone, physically, or murder anyone. She may be a horrible person, a gold digger, even a thief, but she is not mentally unstable.
3) Dean and Sam Winchester have a very dysfunctional relationship that was vibrant throughout their lives. They are brother who hunt monsters. Their mother was killed by a demon who put her on the ceiling and then on fire above sleeping Sam’s baby bed. They then went through childhood going from school-to-school living in crappy motels because the father was chasing down that demon and tools to kill it. When Sam tries to live a normal life and go to college, his girlfriend of the time dies the same way Sam’s mother died – on the ceiling, on fire, above sleeping Sam. Everyone they know or love has died painfully and they go in and out of hell like its Macy’s. They have deep psychological problems – daddy issues, mommy issues, intimacy issues, and another possible. They are disturbed because that is their everyday life and job.
4) In We Have Always Lived in the Castle, Mary Katherine and
