I'm sorry if someone else has already posited this idea.
Her father is quoted as saying he's fascinated by everything to do with Spain but hasn't a drop of Spanish blood, right? And there's a Freudian theory about how young kids develop feelings for their opposite-sex parent. An unconscious sexual desire wish to exclude the parent of the same sex. Usually called the Oedipus complex (for boys) the girl equivalent being called the Electra complex.
Maybe she's always played with this persona - the Spanish Hillary as a way to capture her father's attention. And it got very strange and out of control as an adult. Topped off with a massive dollop of narcissism and a dash of histrionic personality disorder.
She also married a much older man - a father-figure.
Yikes for her. But it feels like an "aha" for me.
kidding. only joking.

Electra complex, Instagram girls, relationship drama 43f 33m
Hi there! I’ve had a lot of confusion in my relationship. We’ve been living together for a year…and before that we messaged and called daily for 5 months.
Before I met him I was asking that the universe help me to get better with communication, self expression and expressing my feelings.
There was an instant connection there because he felt very respectful, conscious, and an amazing communicator. It felt easy and natural to talk to him, and synchronistic to what I was asking the universe for. He’s incredibly smart and very well studied in spirituality.
The communication, and spirituality was definitely lacking in my previous relationship.
Anyway… in my opinion he has a very striking face, and presence. I’m 10 years older, and while I’ve often been told I’m sexy and attractive over the years, I’ve also had body image issues. I have cellulite, and have lost and gained weight quite a few times.. so as a 43 year old I’m feeling less confident in terms of the appearance of my body. I don’t really feel like I need to lose very much weight, but I just look older and saggier. I’m not the best at working out on my own and I don’t have the money right now to join any exercise programs or gyms. I have a history of eating disorders. My mom always spoke so negatively of her body and sometimes of mine too.
She was always looking at magazines and was extremely obsessive about her appearance. It seems she was also traumatized by my dad looking at porn and cheating on her. Seems like she made it about her body.
Gosh.. I feel like I’m writing a damn book over here.. I just want to get all of the little details across I suppose.
So.. not long after we started talking I felt like I wasn’t his type physically. I had had experiences with younger men in the past, and they didn’t go so well. It’s like they bring up my insecurities about aging moreso than older men.
But I fell for my partner and I wanted to give it a go. I thought I had grown a lot in terms of those issues. I guess I got ahead of myself.
I expressed concern that if I moved to where he was that he might meet someone else younger and more his type. But..like I said we both wanted to give it a go because we’d spent so much time connecting over the phone.
I know he liked pics of cosplay girls, but I must have assumed that once we were together that stuff would just magically fall away. He had expressed that he used porn as an escape fro

Something to think about 🤷🏼♀️
I'm curious about everyone's thoughts on the Electra Complex-esque relationship protrayed in Setsuka's Soul Chronicle. It's not exactly a textbook example of an Electra complex, but Setsuka is a young girl who comes to develop feelings for a father figure. It's a very popular (albeit controversial) troupe.
Before her actual release I saw a lot of people talking about how they hope it got retconned: the implications of this type of relationship can be just downright creepy.
I was concerned about it myself pre-release. I've got to say though I think it was handled the best way it could be.
Setsuka, like many young people, developed an attraction for her teacher. Not that strange really; the strange part comes when that attraction turns into love.
Obviously if Shugen were to reciprocate these feelings, the implications would be morally questionable. Setsuka is nineteen years old in the story of SC6, and he's been her mentor for over ten years (don't remember the exact number.) I think that's where a lot of us get uncomfortable; because if Setsuka got her way, and Shugen fell in love with her, it's almost as if he groomed her from when she was very young.
That isn't exactly what we got in the Soul Chronicle though. In the scene where Shugen gives Setsuka her first kimono, we see the first sign of how differently they feel about one-another. Shugen wonders why Setsuka doesn't call him father; and Setsuka sees in that moment that he will never have feelings for her in the way she does for him. It's almost as if she had hoped this gift was a romantic gesture, and when she realizes its a paternal gesture, she's heartbroken.
The troupe of "young girl falls for much older mentor" is definately overused in pop culture. And generally the relationships portrayed by this troupe are problematic. But for some reason I found Setsuka's Soul Chronicle to be less two-dimensional than most of these stories we get.
I'm not one hundred percent comfortable with it, but I think the story examined an interesting gray area for this troupe.
I'm curious to hear what you all thought of it; especially those of you who came in with trepidation on the subject.

Okay, so correct me if I’m wrong, but Electra didn’t kill her dad? She didn’t even kill her step dad, it was her brother who did that. But Veronica claims that Electra killed Agemnemon (her father) when it was her mother who did that, and Electra is out for revenge for that murder, not out to kill her dad.

#Elana
#2nd Day of the 10th Moon, Morning
The red velvet of dawn shimmered over the Blackwater as ships maneuvered lazily through the harbor. How the Trouts turned her red and restless, throwing her into a black abyss of melancholy and useless rage titled Lady of the Crossing. She looked at the Blackwater below, and for the first time felt blue. It was a sweet kind of blue, not a vast emptiness that mocked everything she lost, or everything she didn’t understand. Blue was the warmest color. Blue were his eyes. His name drew a faint, forbidden smile. He was many things, many great things, but above all he was married. Never in Elana’s restless imaginings. Elana was to be married eventually, and passing days made it apparent that eventually would be soon. She could relish, then, in an equally forbidden fantasy without bearing the wanting side’s despair. She was a girl when she met with the Queen the previous day, oblivious to feelings that weren’t convenient. If only the she-Dragon knew the fire her words ignited.
”Your uncle has been most concerned for you since the passing of Lady Jeyne. Who better then, to become your goodfather?”
To know the comfort of his arms for the rest of her days, to keep him as a first crush, a last crush, and an ever and ever crush, to call him by the sweet name goodfather. She dared think of mornings like this, only far removed from King’s landing. Harrenhal. There would be another celebration, one to dwarf that of the Red Comet. For her wedding. Their wedding, she dared imagine. The feast, bustling as it may have been, was only comprised of the two of them. Their own table, where he would caress her dark tresses and say she was enough. There would be a new Hand, some silver-haired creature, and they would do the impossible: they would fill Harrenhal. For the rest of their days they’d fill its halls with love, longing, and plenty of children in time. She felt many colors in this fantasy, but she felt them freely and fiercely without putting others first. Without putting her House first. That brought an end to her smile. She wouldn’t bury House Frey, even if that meant burying a life beyond black and white. Septa Joy’s incessant tugging as she took braided strands into a bun atop the crown of Elana’s head brought her fantasies to an abrupt end.
“Alright, sweet child.” Septa Joy gathered Elana’s remaining curls at her back. “You’re late for morning prayer. Do you wish to miss it entirely?”

If her father wasn't a good man, in the story of Electra (Complex) Heart it would make sense why Electra herself keeps getting involved with men that aren't good for her - because no matter how hard she tries she keeps finding men like her dad to get over those issues.
Idk, just a fun little revelation I thought I'd share, might be old news but still cool none-the-less that this fictional character had such depth even in name choice.
Women in particular seem to have Freudian issues with their father, I think this disturbing trend is evidence of that.
For those curious what Oedipus or Electra complexes are, it’s basically being sexually attracted to your parent, Oedipus for sons to their moms and Electra for daughters to their dads generally speaking.
It’s rather off putting to here any of my female acquaintances and friends refer to their dads as “daddy,” especially when that’s also a term of endearment some use for their significant others. The same goes for males who call their moms “mommy” though personally I’ve only encountered this one time, but the point still stands that it off putting as hell.
If I ever hear it happen, I get a creepy Bates Motel vibe that’s somewhat unshakeable. I get that it’s likely not the case when people say it, but there it is.
