Most @#$%ed up family tree ever

So let me see if I got this right based on what the novels reveal.

Malcolm had sex with his mother, which resulted in his mother giving birth to Malcolm's brother/son.

The son/brother married Malcolm's daughter, Corrine, which resulted in her giving birth to Cathy, Chris, Carrie, and Cory.

Chris and Cathy become lovers, resulting in Cathy getting pregnant, but she has a miscarriage.

Cathy gets pregnant by Julian and gives birth to Jory, and it's implied that Julian had sex with Carrie.

Cathy gets pregnant by Corrine's second husband and gives birth to Bart.

Cathy and Chris live as husband and wife, and adopt Cindy.

Bart begins having sex with Jory's wife, who gives birth to Darren and Deidre, who could be either Bart or Jory's kids.

Jory's new love interest temporary gets together with Bart, before it's implied that she marries Jory and gets pregnant, the father being either Jory or Bart.

Bart and Cindy get married.

Seriously, wtf? Are Darren and Deidre going to continue the "tradition"? So messed up.

Bart begins having sex with Jory's wife, who gives birth to Darren and Deidre, who could be either Bart or Jory's kids.

Jory's new love interest temporary gets together with Bart, before it's implied that she marries Jory and gets pregnant, the father being either Jory or Bart.

the twins are in fact Jory's, his first wife Melody slept with Bart AFTER she got pregnant with the twins.

And the child who Jory's second wife Toni gave birth to is also Jory's.

Malcolm had sex with his stepmother, not his mother.

The novel "Garden of Shadows" reveals that Malcolm is abandoned by his mother at age 5, which causes many of his emotional problems.

Malcolm's father Garland remarries pretty young Alicia, whom Malcolm becomes obsessed with.

After Alicia gives birth to Christopher Sr. and Garland dies of a heart attack, Malcolm repeatedly forces himself on Alicia, who becomes pregnant with Corrine.

Even still, that's some serious level of inbreeding and incest. Seriously, it's like they all live to have sex with one another. I love how the movie tries to depict it all as perfectly normal, no less. Plus really Cathy, couldn't live your life happily with your children and grandchildren? Nothing mattered without your brother to bang?

I think Chris and Cathy have psychological issues resulting from when they were locked in their grandmother's attic. Their grandmother constantly berating them, the murder of Cory by their own mother, as well as attempting to murder them all, realizing their mother betrayed them and didn't love them, etc. Chris and Cathy are psychologically and physically bound to each other

Love your analysis Pacer88... Could not have said it better myself. Chris and Cathy are psychologically and physically bound to each other. When they each tried to have a relationship with someone they felt something was missing and went back to each other.

Exactly... I don't think she died just because all she cared about was sleeping with Christopher. But because she felt a piece of her died. In a way I think she let go to help "cleanse" the family and to stop her own suffering.

Not to mention they were mother and father to their little brother and sister. For those who haven't read the books after their Father died Chris and Cathy took over parenting duties for Carrie and Corrie. The last time the Dresden Dolls were together as a full familywas the attic.

LOL. You got everything right except the first one. Malcolm slept with his stepmother, well raped, which resulted in the birth of Corrine. He never actually slept with his mother but he had a strange fixation, an extreme case of an Odeipus Rex complex. While raping Alicia, Corrine's mother, he kept calling her Corrine (which was his mother name whom the main character Corrine is named after).
