So Beautiful, It's a Curse | |
| Hawaiʻi / int_3b9b21c9 | comment |
So Beautiful, It's a Curse: The leper colony on Molokai is a Wretched Hive of utter depravity because there is no law. As the fullest expression of this depravity, women exiled there whose leprosy has not disfigured them yet are Blessed with Suck — so desirable that they are gang-raped for months by the terrifyingly disfigured long-term inhabitants of the leper colony until the women are driven insane and become promiscuous, either out of nihilism or the need to deny that the advance of their leprosy has rendered them undesirable, foreshadowing their deaths. | |

Your Normal Is Our Taboo | |
| Hawaiʻi / int_4de0f392 | comment |
Your Normal Is Our Taboo: There is a great deal of Culture Clash between the Christian missionaries and the Hawaiian alii, but the one that becomes the biggest sticking point is incest. The alii practice Royal Inbreeding. The Christians say it's an abomination. The Alii Nui, Malama, is willing to oblige on other points, but she and her brother Kelolo are happily married and she's loath to end their relationship. Malama has a breakthrough moment when she realizes it's not really morality, just a taboo. This conceptualization ticks Abner Hale off. | |

Alas, Poor Yorick | |

Alas, Poor Yorick: Kelolo takes the skull of his beloved late wife Malama, cleans it of all the flesh, and keeps it. He talks to her in the evenings, like the Happily Married couple they were. | |

Royal Inbreeding | |
| Hawaiʻi / int_d0bab7f5 | comment |
Royal Inbreeding: the Christian missionaries to Hawaii are appalled by the alii's (Hawaiian nobility) custom of inbreeding. At the time of arrival, the local alii is Malama who's Happily Married to her brother Kelolo. While the missionaries do object to this, it's also "grandfathered in" in a sense because they've already been married for decades. When Malama and Kelolo's children, Keoki and Noelani, are wed after the arrival of the Christians, Reverend Abner Hale is even more upset. He has the following conversation with a fellow missionary, John Whipple. Whipple has relaxed his views about a lot of things since arriving in Hawaii and Hale thinks he's Going Native. | |
