'Why is important to discover in Prometheus that Meredith Vickers is Weyland’s daughter? It’s an important detail to understand Weyland’s character better.

Weyland dislikes his biological daughter because the existence of Meredith remembers him that he’s mortal and that another generation will substitute him in the future. Weyland can’t “accept” the natural procreation system, because that system exists because humans aren’t immortal, and to survive, a species must reproduce (look how he retires his hand when Meredith tries to take it, he really despises his daughter for being here reminding him that he has to die, sooner or later).

Weyland has built a synthetic son, an artificial son “from nothing”. He created him. Weyland says that David is “the closest thing to a son” he has. David is a new kind on man, it’s a “living” piece of art, is the proof that Weyland is a god. Weyland wants to “break the chain” and “frees” himself from his “mortal nature”. Weyland wants to show the world his genius, wants to stand out as different and superior, because of David’s existence. So, Weyland dislikes Meredith because she’s the proof he’s human, but he likes David because he’s the proof he deserves to become a true god.'

It does make sense.

When David said to Peter Weyland "You will die, I will not", the conversation was over and time for David to pour tea.

Peter obviously did not take for granted he was going to die and was rather bothered that David assumed he would not conquer death. A rather lofty helping of pride was allotted to Peter up to this point and he believed to the end he was entitled to "more".

Ingeniero - You're agreed.

The original essay is much longer, it contains remarkable ideas in my opinion.
