Why is Cersei Lannister so cruel?

NOTE: I know the background music is too loud, but unfortunately, I can't do anything about it unless I take it down and upload it again. Sorry! In this video, I analyse psychology and mythology of Cersei Lannister, one of the best-written villains in fiction. Selfish and full of self-conceit, this mother of three and manipulative queen hides much more beneath than she shows. It was difficult to make a short video (it's long now and I still find it short in regards to the coverage of the depth of this character), but I tried my best to present you with the most relevant information. I discuss Cersei's personality, background, relationships, the Terrible Mother archetype, and mythological parallels.

Who am I? I'm an aspiring psychologist interested in many different areas of the society, literature, politics, religion, and culture.
