friend came to me excitedly and told me that the source of "Game of Thrones" had been leaked. He was as complacent as he had debunked a magician's tricks.
Then he did an extremely cruel thing to me, spoiler! ! !
Fortunately, I covered my ears in time and only heard a little. "You don't have to worry about Erya and Sansa, Littlefinger is going to die soon!"
I wasn't surprised to hear this. Littlefinger's death is actually expected, as long as the audience is slightly familiar with Game of Thrones routines, it can be expected.
"Game of Thrones" never raises idlers. If a character loses the role of driving the plot, then he is not far from death. Looking at Littlefinger's performance after the Battle of the Bastards, he's already very fit for a lunch box.
Moreover, the entire Westeros continent is currently in a state of continuous gathering, and the previously complicated and cluttered clues are constantly being simplified and clarified. As the saying goes, the general trend of the world, if it is divided for a long time, it must be united, and if it is united for a long time, it must be divided. On the way to the merger, some characters will pay the price with their lives, which is also a matter of course.
Although I know the results of Littlefinger, the specific process is still worth looking forward to. Just as the source of the film was leaked this time, it will not essentially affect the audience's enthusiasm for appreciation. Good work has this quality, even if it foreshadows the end at the beginning, it still attracts readers to watch it eagerly.
It's like the witch has spoken out about Cersei's fate in her childhood, but that doesn't affect our expectations for the characters' fate. The same is true of "A Dream of Red Mansions". I told readers at the beginning that what I was going to talk about was the tragedy of a family being destroyed and relatives scattered, which aroused readers' interest in reading even more. What's more, for excellent works, it is far from enough to see them once.

Go back to Littlefinger.
Throughout the show, Littlefinger is the easiest to forget.
No matter how he climbed, it seemed like he was a dispensable character. There was an overly gloomy aura about him. As if he was always watching in the dark, peeping behind the curtain.
Although, with his own ingenuity, he continued to rise to the top, became the leader of the times, and roamed the center of the power struggle, but he was unscathed. Play the major families with applause, both sides.
However, no matter what, it always felt like something was missing from him.
It is aristocratic temperament! is a loud surname! In the land of Westeros, surnames signify an order, a temperament, and even a dignity. As long as the surnames such as Stark, Lannister, Targaryen, and Baratheon are mentioned in the play, there is a natural pride. Without the blessing of a powerful family, he allowed his talents and talents to grow, but in contrast, he also had an air of vulgarity.
Littlefinger is one such character. He came from humble beginnings, and his territory was only some rocky lands on the Five Fingers Peninsula. When he was not deep in the world, he also wanted to live freely, proudly and dignifiedly. She boldly pursued her love, and although she was rejected, she offered to fight. Knowing what you can't do is the dignity of a young man.
Brandon Stark and Littlefinger duel, Brandon is a top swordsman, Littlefinger is underage, the result can be imagined. Littlefinger, although not dead, was severely injured. Afterwards, he was expelled from Riverrun because of Lysa's loss to him. The Tully family would rather abort their unborn child than let their daughter marry a poor boy with no background.
With humiliation and regret, he came to King's Landing. He no longer has love, no fantasies, no more faith. The only thing left is to climb by any means.

Littlefinger is small, but it is a figure that stirs the whole situation.
And the reason why Littlefinger can influence the entire situation of the continent is that he has successfully used all available resources. The most important resource Littlefinger possesses is Lysa's infatuation. When the two sides of the relationship are in an unequal position, one is crazy infatuated, and the other is ashes, then the latter can easily manipulate the former. At Littlefinger's direction, Lysa poisoned her husband, Jon Arryn, which ignited chaos across the continent. Lysa later rejected her sister Catelyn's calls for help, leaving the Stark family isolated. After Littlefinger left King's Landing and married Lysa. Littlefinger already has the theoretical legitimacy to directly rule the valley. So when Lysa and Sansa had a conflict, threatening to tell the secret, he shoved Lysa into the moon well without expression. Instead of manipulating the doll, it's better to replace it.
Of course, Littlefinger's cleverness doesn't stop at using real resources. Even sharper is that he can accurately penetrate the psychology of others. Caitlin was the object of his lifelong infatuation, albeit only verbally. This infatuation creates an illusion for Caitlin that Littlefinger is a lover of righteousness. More importantly, Caitlin, who was in an advantageous position, had a sense of superiority, and never thought that he could play any tricks. So Catelyn easily believed Littlefinger's planting, and put Bran's injury on Tyrion Lannister's account, which triggered a direct conflict between the two families of the lion and the wolf. As everyone knows, emotion is the most taboo thing for conspirators. They keep telling emotions, just to better manipulate emotions.
As for the betrayal of Stark Ned, it was because Ned had no political wisdom. Ned's pride, honor, and justice are not only useless in Littlefinger's eyes, but a source of calamity. Littlefinger once advised Ned not to care about the truth and that protecting his own interests is the most important thing. However, Ned's nobility and honor made it impossible for him to make any changes. So in its confrontation with Cersei, Littlefinger pointed the finger at Ned without hesitation. Of course, all of this was arranged by Littlefinger. He knew the brain circuits of the Stark family very well, so he would not bet on Ned at all. What's more, Ned's nobility and justice are an insult to him.

In this way, Littlefinger grows stronger in the process of constantly creating chaos.
Become the lord of Harrenhal and become the de facto master of the valley.
Littlefinger's transformation from an unnamed person from a humble background to a powerful person in power is not something Xiao Cai can do. Perhaps the most important is its insight into the rules of the game. For any game, only by mastering the rules can you be at ease.
At the end of the sixth episode of the third season, Littlefinger spoke his entire political philosophy against the background of the exclusive BGM.
Chaos is a ladder.
Many who try to climb it fail
and never get to try again.
The fall breaks them.
And some are given a chance to climb, someone had a chance to climb
But they refuse.
They cling to the realm They guard the kingdom
or the gods guard the gods
or love. guard the love
Illusions. All fantasy
Only the ladder is real.
The climb is all there is. The climb is all there is. Climbing is the whole
chaos of life. The ladder is the whole of life. When this sentence swept the entire continent with a grand momentum, when the camera cut to the ladder on the Great Wall of Ice and Snow, it was really heart-wrenching and resounding in the sky. Littlefinger spoke the truth of life, stirring in the hearts of all.
Littlefinger kept climbing the stairs, higher and higher, until it blurred into a black dot. However, in Game of Thrones, there is no eternal winner. Everything is changing rapidly, everything is unpredictable. Although Littlefinger understands the rules, he can't control the whole situation, and he can't manipulate people's hearts. The conflict of power is the collision of force and force, full of many unknowns. That's what makes it fascinating, and it's a bit like a gamble.
Littlefinger's misstep is Sansa's loss of control. Sansa is Littlefinger's long-term investment and is the key to unlocking the North. However, after Littlefinger helped Stark win the Battle of the Bastards, Sansa didn't follow Littlefinger's plan to become King of the North. Littlefinger ignored Sansa's growth, and what was even more terrifying was that the Stark family kept gathering. With the return of Bran and Erya, Littlefinger's situation became more and more embarrassing.
In the latest episode, Littlefinger's death is finally heralded, as he once again causes chaos. If a conspiracy is used many times, it will degenerate into a routine, and even a person with a short memory can easily see through it. He tried to climb higher without considering his weight, so the wind from the center of power blew him off. Littlefinger knows the rules of the Game of Thrones, but can't change his destiny.

We are full of mixed emotions for such a character.
Here I want to say three people.
Liu Bang, a peasant born in the market, seized the hegemony of the world with his ingenuity and opened the era of the Han Dynasty. Xiang Yu was born in the nobles of Western Chu. However, later generations destroyed Liu Bang and praised Xiang Yu.
Julien Sohail, who came from a family of small business owners, with his intelligence and handsome face, successfully completed the triple jump in life and reached the center of power. Just when he was complacent, a report letter ruined his future. We both sympathize and hate Julien.
Qi Tongwei, excellent in both character and study, is arrogant, but in the end he is no match for the squeeze of reality. In order to get rid of the dilemma of reality, he gave up himself and sought status through marriage. However, this road is ultimately narrower and more tiring. For Qi Tongwei, we feel distressed, but helpless.
In modern society, origin theory has long since disappeared from the system. But in fact, the barriers of reality are stacked on the littlefingers. Like "The Great Gatsby", even if you try your best to get to the top of the fortune, you will still not be accepted, you are just the image of a nouveau riche. As far as Littlefinger is concerned, his background and his ideals doomed him to be tragic. In this distance, he must give up his ego to please, deceive, provoke, and frame up. His temperament is hard to compare with the noble, noble, brave, and straightforward, so from the beginning, he lost.
Faced with Littlefinger, we sympathize with his humble origins and tragic encounters, we loathe his hypocritical performances, cunning intrigues, and of course we may envy his wisdom and ultimate status. Either way, he's a complex character worth remembering.
