Any thoughts on TH's new direction? Is Aaron now in love with Sarah, or does he still want to be with Alice?
I wrote something about that, here:

I agree with some parts of this, and I disagree with others. I think both Daniel and Aaron have Oedipal Complexes, only that Aaron's was developed much more subtly--well, not so much anymore, haha! I think Aaron has always been attracted to his mother, it just has been disguised through his attraction to Alice. Think about it: Alice (presumably older) is a shapely, blonde haired blued eyed beauty just like his mother. It was more "acceptable" for Aaron to pursue Alice because she's his cousin, and she's around his age. But then the night of Chapter 6 arrives, where he witnesses his mother having sex with his cousin. Sarah broke three conventions: (1) her marriage to his father, (2) the age difference, and (3) the taboo of blood relatives having sexual relations. As traumatic as the scene was for Aaron, now there's no restrictions in living out his fantasies with his mother. She cheated on his father, she had sex with someone his age, and she had sex with a blood relative. Sarah has no moral platform on which to base her rejection of Aaron, other than the possibility that she may love David more than she loves her son. That's the reason I like that Daval included that line where Aaron asks Sarah if she loves David more than she loves him. Because Sarah really has no excuse at that point.

I agree with you that there's a difference in both Aaron and Daniel. Daniel, like you said, may see his mother as something immaculate, free from impurity, whom he seeks to sully with his dominance, thereby possessing her; Aaron on the other hand stood witness to his mother's impurity, and therefore he seeks to reestablish his bond with her not through hostility with his father, like Daniel does, (Aaron seems to love his father quite a bit) but through hostility with the threat, David. Also, Aaron is acting as a proxy for his father, being the one to hold Sarah accountable for her infidelity while opting for a means that doesn't produce the dissolution of his immediate family. In other words, Aaron seeks to accommodate Sarah's ease to arousal in place of his own father. That's Oedipus Complex 101: he's replacing his father, just without the hostility towards his father. I think Aaron very much loves Sarah; he should hate her, but he mentions, understandably, quite a lot that he loves her in spite of what she has done.
What do you think?

Guys, people hereabouts are droning on and on about 'Oedipus Complex this' and 'Oedipus Complex that' to explain the aberrant behaviour of fictional characters Daniel and Aaron—obviously unaware that Freud's Oedipus Complex was outmoded long ago and isn’t considered scientifically valid today, for all sorts of reasons. Just sayin'. I’m sure anyone interested in the whys and wherefores could check it out on the web—saving me from having to do a bit of extra-mural cut and paste. (y)

Aaron confessed he is punishing his mother and doesn't want Sarah to have any relationship with David but he doesn't care about his poor father ha ha. Interesting Sarah asking Aaron to leave the bathroom with his legs opened showing all her wet intimacy.
