For all that I know, Melancholia is symbolic, a battle of wills between sisters in the heavens that results in one vanquishing the other...

In Tirza, which some might guess that I favour more, Jörgen comments on how he was told that his daughter's battle with the effects of an eating disorder is a typical condition of the white, western world: dramatizing his guilt at having made Tirza that way by his parenting (which cultures, one wonders, need a word for such a thing?), he accuses himself ragingly as being, himself, the eating disorder.
