Overall, the storytelling of the episodes has been very successful. Because of the different presentation methods, the story lines of the episodes must be relatively concentrated, which is inevitable. About the fate of the characters: 1. Sansa: In the novel, the little skin is married to the fake Arya, and in the drama, the little head takes Sansa to Winterfall early, so the original Jenny's crime is moved On to Sansa, but the pace of the story quickened and the plot was more intense. become better looking. 2. The Hound: In the episode, after the Hound and Arya separated, they met a group of good men and women and became friends with them, but unfortunately these people were killed by the remnants of the warrior group, so the Hound who was about to put down the butcher’s knife picked up the axe Avenging them, he later joined Sir Berwick's fraternity, but the Hound stops with Arya in the novel, and of course it is implied that he joins the church in the Sister Islands. Looking at it this way, the lives of the two versions are roughly the same, but the drama gave more continuations to the entanglement between the Hound and his brother, which is another kind of consummation. 3. Brienne: In the play, Brienne succeeded in finding Sansa, but Sansa refused at first, and Brienne didn't reach her goal until Sansa escaped from Winter. In the novel, Brienne did not succeed in finding Sansa until the fifth book, but in the novel, the grievances of Brienne and James being captured by the blood troupe were finally repaid. The emotional entanglement between Brienne and James in the novel (both sides have appeared in each other's dreams) is also more obvious in the play. Mainly to enrich and whitewash the image of James. 4. Dolan: In the play, Sand Snake and Oberon's mistress directly killed Dolan because of his dissatisfaction with his delay. But in the novel, Dolan managed to win over Sand Snake and his daughter who was trying to rebel, see through Cersei's conspiracy, control Dorn perfectly, and play a lot of chess secretly. So Dolan in the novel is more like a high-level player in Game of Thrones than in the show. Many characters and plots have been cut out in the series, such as the other son and daughter of Prince Dolan, and Rhaegar's son who was arranged to be deceived by Varys, etc. For example, Davos went to White Harbor to win over Manderly, May Lissandra assists Mansred in cheating death, etc.
Some people say that drama and novel are actually two stories. From the point of view of the plot, the difference between the two is gradually reflected from the third volume, and the fourth and fifth volumes are more obvious. Comparatively speaking, the novel is indeed worthy of the name Game of Thrones, because from Dorne in the scorching sun to winter in the snow, from Casterly Rock in the west to Arryn Valley in the east, and then to the far east of the Narrow Sea, Sunspear. The family, the rose family, the lion family, the siren family, the robin family, and the skinning family are all playing the game of stealing the throne. Of course, the direwolf family is worse. Halfway through the game, they die, so they have to fight monsters and upgrade separately.
In the play, except for the Direwolf family, which is similar to the novel, the intentions of half of the family are not so obvious. The Yangji family is taking revenge, the three-headed dragon family is growing, the Twin Bridge family is complaining and tantrums, the Flayer family is killing and flaying, the Huolu family, the Rose family, and the Lion family are single-mindedly vying for the throne, and secretly. The robin house that intervenes. But many look more like family feuds, and of course this feeling can be seen everywhere in the novel.
The only really high-level players are Littlefinger and Octopus Spider. They can play the Seven Kingdoms all by themselves. Of course, Illyrio on the other side of the Narrow Sea is half of them. Although he is far overseas, he can still move the Western Continent. . Of course, the little devil is also considered a talent. He can be both civilized and martial, courageous and resourceful. With a three-inch tongue, he can turn an enemy into a friend. He can make money when he becomes the Minister of Finance, and he can lead troops into battle in times of crisis. Although the mouth is romantic, it is still dedicated to love.
But it wasn't the protagonist that really struck me, it was the little people who appeared sporadically on the main character's journey. Because the novel has enough space to describe various minor characters, some minor characters or supporting characters are more interesting than the protagonist. For example, the priest Brienne met near Maiden Springs and the Sister Islands. When she was young, she used to be romantic and unrestrained, and when she was old, she led a horse and went back and forth among the ruins, bringing the light of life to the villagers, whether it is spiritual or physical. superior. And the widow by the water, after experiencing the glory, what I can't forget is that the suffering slaves who came from the same background as her, tell the Messiah, let her come quickly, and tell her that we have been waiting. Or James' aunt who likes to tug at his ears. The aunt once told Tywin that Tyrion was more like Tywin than James, and that only Tyrion could be considered Tywin's son, but Tywin was very unhappy.
Because the updated plot of the episode has far exceeded the 5 novels that have been published, you can be bold that the difference between the plot of the next episode and the novel will become larger and larger. If you want to know what will happen next, just ask Martin to write quickly.
