Freya thinks she is doing everyone a favor by forbidding them any kind of love or romantic attachment and imposing a structure on their lives; that they need her to act as their “mother, protector, and guide” through life. That she is helping them by sparing them the pain she herself experienced, while still clinging to the sad memory of her daughter. She sets up a cold and militaristic environment in which the only “love” she allows is directed toward herself; no one else can fall in love.
