[The Boy and the Heron]

[(Anonymous)]

marrying a dead spouse's sibling is pretty damn commonplace, if the last 10,000 years of human history is anything to go by. looking some level alike to the dead sibling isn't unheard of in fiction, it's a pretty basic trope for ~dramaaaa~. doubly so in Japanese fiction, traditional folklore is rife with it as it was, historically, almost expected that a proper member of a higher class take in their dead spouse's family.

Hell, the Bible instructs a man that if his brother should die without issue, he needs to marry his brother's widow and beget an heir for his brother's line. Deuteronomy 25:5–10.

I came to post this. Henry VIII would bring up Leviticus 20:21 though: If a man takes his brother's wife, it is a hated and unclean thing; he has uncovered his brother's nakedness. They will be childless.

Most people prefer Deuteronomy on that one.

lmao right? Onan got smited for not doing his duty, he'd probably take issue with the contradiction.

That was his second try though. Previously he'd argued to the Pope it was completely legal for his late brother's wife to marry him (marrying a widow/er of a dead relative was legally prohibited without special permission from the clergy throughout the mediaeval era in Western Europe). The whole unclean and hated thing came after Katherine of Aragon failed to provide him with a living son when he needed to backpedal on that. He'd subsequently backpedal on the backpedal, but also backpedal on back-peddling the backpedal, before saying screw the whole thing and that he was going to start his own church; with blackjack and hookers.

What an odd thing to be respulsed by. I can see why this is a secret.

Eh happens a lot more than you would think. Shakespeare's Hamlet has the main charater's mother marrying his uncle after her husband's death.

I personally could never imagine doing such a thing, but it's actually very common for a person to marry/fall in love with a family member/close friend of their deceased beloved.

The older I get, the more I understand it. Again, personally don't think I could ever, but I understand that people grow close during sad and stressful times. Also, historically speaking, there have been customs for a man to wed his brother's widow. Didn't know it was in the Bible, but in my South East Asian community, back in the old days if a woman became a widow it was expected for her husband's family to marry her off to a brother not yet wed or even to be a second wife.

The movie was good. I tend to have really mixed feelings about Studio Ghibli films, but I never regret watching them.

It makes you very medieval catholic, if that helps. There was a literal legal prohibition on marrying brothers or sisters on a dead spouse for a long time across Europe in that time period. Just a big old continent of Antis, really.

I knew someone whose dad divorced her mom and married her aunt/her mom's sister, which has to be weird.
