And BAM! Incest. They never expect incest...well, I sorta do sometimes. I have no female family members, it's just that often times when it comes especially to people like older brothers and fathers the affection between them and sisters/daughters often seems...a bit more than familial. And it's not like you'd ever hear about the vast majority of cases where things boiled over so to speak, so who would even know?

Anyhow, now that I've taken a moment to examine the concept of banging your sister, I will say that this was definitely all around solid. Solid dialogue, good from a narrative perspective. I wouldn't say this is a "problem", but the sister was a terrible bitch while poor Wilfred, while sounding a bit insufferable, got regularly terribly abused and beaten on to the point of very serious injury while being taunted by her while she was nailing her other brother and even after she died she got exactly what she wanted in the end. Maybe it's hollywood's fault that I even expect this in fiction, but it all just felt a little karmically imbalanced, if you will. Like I said, that isn't necessarily a problem, but in my limited writing I always figure it never hurts to try to make things seem "fair" to the point where it doesn't degrade the overall narrative; in TV tropes terms including enough pet the dog/kick the dog moments to warrant the character's overall outcome (and the thing with the broken rib was more like a "hit the dog in the face with a baseball bat" moment on the sister's part). Still all around good though. Can't say there weren't a few times in my childhood that I didn't feel like running my brother through with a fire poker.
