Text | Small Building
James is gone. The land of Westeros was snowing. If you look closely, the snow is falling into pieces, which is not pleasant.
The last, perhaps only one, who loved Cersei was gone. When Cersei looked at Jaime's receding back from the tall building in the Red Keep, this snow, perhaps she remembered many years later, was still the biggest one in her heart.
It was broken into pieces, but it was overwhelming in her heart, and the wind was tearing her heart apart.
Cersei is one of the least likeable characters in Game of Thrones. As a woman, she was vicious, jealous, and selfish; as a king, she was determined, powerful, and without honor. The Lannister family seems to have a natural attraction to hate. In the play, it is the source of the fear of other families, and outside the play, it is the center of the audience's hatred. As soon as James appeared on the stage, we equated him with the title of Kingslayer. Standing on the moral high ground to despise someone like James who has no sense of honor, it is a tacit understanding between other characters in the play and the audience.
"Game of Thrones" almost put the worst characters on the two of them, making them attract the most scolding and the most firepower. For us who are used to seeing great loyalty and righteousness, Cersei and Jaime really don't have much morality to speak of. However, the characters of "Game of Thrones" are not completely good, nor are they bad for no reason. It is constantly balancing the scales of the characters' personalities so that the characters have a down-to-earth fullness and authenticity. For Cersei and Jaime, it infuses the most sincere things into their personalities - love regardless of worldliness.
Love is a hasty embellishment on Game of Thrones, and it doesn't run the gamut with fanfare. True love is quite scarce in this game. It is constrained and controlled by factors such as sexual desire, marriage for political purposes, and moral concepts. Old Foyle is getting old, and his wife's death is just "marrying a younger and more beautiful" to him; Littlefinger will always talk about his beloved Caitlin, but constantly provoke Caitlin and Lysa's feelings. One can imagine whether he loves Caitlin as much as he claims; Margaery, who wants to be queen, has some of the most glamorous weddings, but she is married to kings, not lovers; The Frey family's agreement to marry Jenny of Cliff Rock City is a rare free love in "Game of Thrones"; there is also the love between James and Brienne, who cherish each other but are separated by mountains and rivers.
To say the real love in "Game of Thrones", it should be Cersei and Jaime. They are twin brothers and sisters. They grew up together since childhood. They loved each other in their youth. The trivialities of life did not reduce the love between the two parties. The years of love alone are enough to be enviable. Westeros is also a land where incest is not tolerated, and high-ranking families in particular can become the butt of laughs and even threaten the legitimacy of their power. Tywin is a resolute politician. In his eyes, children are just political commodities that need to be obediently obeyed. Worldly ideas are like the sword of Damox hanging over her head, and although Cersei has always claimed that she doesn't care what the people think, she will not fail to notice the sharpness of the sword.
Cersei's world is so small that it can only hold her children and Jaime. She is not a good queen, she is just using her instincts to destroy those who stand in her way and rule her people with power. At this point, she lacks the wisdom of being a king, and she is not successful. But she is a big winner in love. She is selfish, possessive, and sensitive in love, and the eyes Brienne and James look at each other can be sensitively interpreted by her. Fortunately, such love is not wishful thinking.
Jaime was captured by the Stark family until he was cut off, and he still wanted to return to Cersei. Cersei was eager to see through the Red Keep, and what she was waiting for was this man whose life and death were unknown.
Jaime pushes Bran off the tower, recklessly. Cersei paraded naked to atone for her sins, looking at the Red Fort before she had the courage to continue walking. To her, the Red Keep was home to her, James and their children.
After all three of their children died, the only people who could hug each other and comfort each other were each other.
Actually no need to say much.
Moral stereotypes aside, Cersei and Jaime's love is very exclusive and real. Jon and Ygritte's emotional scene is impressive, but when you think about it, Jon has put the Night's Watch oath first, and Ygritte is largely wishful thinking. Cersei and Jaime, two unfortunate characters, especially Cersei, have this one shining point in so many shortcomings, which is magnified. Their love has also been magnified.
Putting their love into reality, swapping Cersei for a man or Jaime for a woman, in a way, they can be role models.
James is gone. A lot of people have seen the spoilers for the eighth season. But my hope is that Jaime will come back one day on horseback, back to this insidious, suspicious, and even beginning to break down queen. The family love in the flesh and the love in the bones, no matter how big the rift is, it is worth shaking hands and making peace when we meet, not to mention it again.
Brienne taught Jaime what a man is, and Cersei taught Jaime love. Brienne, like a puddle of water, quietly poured into the turbid canals like James and Cersei, washing away the ugliness in James' heart. However, it is beautiful enough for Brienne and James to look at each other from a distance. It is not beautiful to mix this pure love with the world.
Perhaps, what I was hoping for was that the snow could be a little bigger, big enough for Jaime to think of the people who were waiting for him on the Red Keep. In the night snow, he turned his horse's head and galloped away in the direction of the Red Fort.
