Destiny is like a knife, let me learn it-----Arya Stark

Unknowingly, Ice and Fire has caught up to the sixth season, and many of the previous plots have almost forgotten
while they have not forgotten, and suddenly want to write about the women in Ice and Fire.
There are many female characters in Ice and Fire, Cersei, Dragon Mother, Sansa, Aunt May...
They all have their own brilliance, or they are cruel and cold, or brave and unrestrained.
The most eye-catching of them is the Dragon Mother Daenerys
. Regarded as a representative of women’s growth and feminist consciousness,
in my opinion, although she has a tortuous and bizarre growth history and a magnificent history,
there is still a gap between "feminist consciousness" and "female growth" as I understand it.

I personally believe that the role that really represents the growth of women in Ice and Fire is
none other than the second lady of the wolf family, "Er Ya".



The biggest difference between Erya and all
other women is that: other women are more or less aware of their natural advantages, and they will use their original capital from time to time,
know how to adhere to the laws of the patriarchal society, and get what
they want. It is a woman, a weak, and must firmly grasp the men who can protect themselves, in
order to get a good hand in the game of power and gain a foothold in the iron-blooded world of ice and fire.

The strength of Long Ma is mostly due to the external advantages
she relies on. Her beauty, her birth, her dragon, her army, her wealth...
These have brought her a crowd around her to advise her, Men born to death,
she has a string of titles that are longer than the name of the dish, but when these are taken away,
she is still just a weak woman with no power to bind the chicken. After
all, she is still a "protected"

but two Ah, but few realize that being "woman" of the gender setting
is not to impose a variety of socio-cultural norms and the role of women in the eye
she never felt that he was just men vassal, it is secondary
never I feel that I can only be "protected".


Erya is only alone.
Therefore, compared with Long Ma's rebirth and rapid growth,
her growth is more difficult and slow, and she can hardly be seen. What progress
is no one to open up for her, she relies on herself a little clumsy persistence,
like weeds, slowly struggling to survive in the crevices of the stone.

However, her growth is more real, and every point of progress truly belongs to her.
She doesn’t want to rely on anyone, or be held by who is a queen and a princess.
She is full of wild, brave, tenacious, and strong survivability.
Although she is weak, she is determined to protect herself and all the people she wants to protect.

In fact, Erya is very beautiful. She has inherited the appearance of the wolf family. She has a
delicate face, gray-blue eyes and brown hair
many times. long been described as her aunt, pour country beauty Lai Anna
, however, she and her sister Sansa different kind of beauty typical of
her beautiful clothes, make-up dress, and all things related to woman are nothing interested
her childhood only Like dancing swords, fighting and killing,
but the love at that time is more of a child's naughty nature, which
is a kind of admiration and admiration for the power of father and brother.
It wasn't until the death of her father that this yearning for strength became serious, and the change of persistence
has since become a stubborn belief to follow her for life.


Before that, she had never thought that the father who
had been facing the world with generosity and kindness like a mountain
would collapse in an instant, such as the collapse of Mount Tai,
letting her truly understand the cruelty of fate.

She was the only child who witnessed the death of father, mother, and elder brother on the scene.
When Ned's head fell to the ground, the director gathered all the sound effects and
quietly pointed the camera at a group of black birds
in the sky as they slowly flew in the gray sky. At the time, the
girl's heart, like black paper ash burned by wildfire,
could no longer gather and form, following the flock of birds, falling apart in the wind.

From then on, fell from heaven to hell.
Since then, the country was broken and the family died.
She began to flee, and began to embark on a path of no return for revenge.
She embraces hatred, anger, and fear, and she is looking for ways to make herself stronger day and night.
Wang Xiaobo once said that all the pain of people is the anger towards her own incompetence.
In fact, she hates those people at the same time.
She didn't hate her own weakness and turned this hatred into a force to push herself forward.
From here, I saw a sad fact: it is
often because of hatred, pride, vanity, jealousy and fear that support people all the way.
Human growth often depends on these negative energies, rather than love and tenderness.



Although she never tried to rely on a man
, her life track was indeed marked by four important men. The changes
they marked her came from, enlightenment, exile, and stereotypes
. Help her break through the barriers and see herself clearly. They leave as soon as they are done.

The first one is of course his father Ned
remembers Zhou Guoping once said:
"When a person loses his parents and becomes an orphan,
he walks into the door of this world, he walks out of the barriers of this world, and he collapses. When
his parents are there, his path is clear, and his path is It is hidden. When
his parents are gone, his path becomes blurred, but his path is open."
This is true for Erya and all the children in the wolf family.

The second is from Braavos, fencing teacher taught her
her first pathfinder
He made two Ah first heard about this mysterious city Brad Firth
taught her, "Every dog has a death"
also He taught her to say to the god of death: not today.
He said: "Sickness is like a deer, and still is like a shadow. Fast as a snake, and still like water.
Fear is more hurt than a sharp sword. Fear of failure will undoubtedly fail."
He appeared in her life. Such a short period of time, like a shooting star
, brought her the warmest encouragement and the most true kindness.
Later, at every critical moment in her life,
these words supported her and injected her with calming strength.
The

third one is
Kong Wu, the hunting dog . The ugly, wild dog-like man
carried her on horseback, and took her almost wandering through the entire continent of Westeros,
saying that he would take her away. Buying a good price
but constantly giving her food, taking care of her
even at many moments, consciously or unconsciously taught her a lot of life principles, and
seriously taught her how to kill people with a sword
. When they were together, they seemed to be the same. The ice-fire version of "This Killer Is Not So Cold" was

at that cruel bloody wedding, when she wanted to pounce on her mother's corpse, he
was also him, calmly hugged her away, and dragged her away from the place of right and wrong.
He saved her life countless times, but it was
the emotional entanglement between a member of her enemy list and the hunting dog. It was too complicated for a young girl.
She never understood what it was , so she had to perseverely understand it. In the
end, she left the hound in a cruel way because of the hatred .
The

fourth, of course, is Jia Kun
the Faceless.
The appearance of the supernatural, supernatural, murderous assassin who opened the door
to a new world for Er Ya. He gave Er Ya a silver coin as a token of his own.
She held it firmly in her hand as if she left a guiding star , and crossed the ocean alone to come to his world.
She prostrated deeply in front of the heavy door, determined to convert to this mysterious and powerful faith.
This former noble lady started from the most filthy and trivial work and turned herself into a nobody in a humble manner.
From then on, she has only one line left: A girl has no name


However, when this girl who tried her best to forget the previous dust
suddenly saw a clown who falsely accused her father as a traitor on the stage and joked about his father's death,
she still couldn't help frowning, trying to control her tremor.
Seeing this, I felt very distressed. It was clearly trampling and blaspheming the holy place in a person's heart
. It was another resounding slap in the face that the world slapped on her face.

Three hundred and sixty days a year, Feng Dao Shuang Jian forced
fate to be excessively harsh on a child, portraying her into such a look,
always wearing black and torn clothes, as thin as a beggar,
she has a pair of dark night children. The beastly stubborn and alert eyes
even after she was blind, as long as she faced me,
I could still feel the gaze of these eyes, which made people nowhere to hide.


She is such a fairy, but She is so stupid and
doesn't know how to turn, so she often suffers.
She is beaten to death and beaten to death. Her world is black and white. No matter what the overall situation is, she doesn't understand what is trickery and what is authority.
She only knows good people and bad people. The good guys must be protected, the bad guys must be killed.
Her heart is as clear as a mirror, and

she never buys any concealment of clever rhetoric, and she never knows how to please others with a smile.
Only when she truly receives the kindness of others, she opens her mouth and smiles shyly, which is regarded as a return
and she despite all sorts of myself, kept silent reading late at night share the hatred of the list
trying to get yourself become cold, become strong
and her heart, in the end still soft


and after she had become hard only change Faceless opportunities
but because of a strange woman tiny little goodwill
on all future will not hesitate to ruin, so that their exposure to danger again
She didn’t know that kindness would make her weaker to
the death of her father. She had already been educated severely about this.
However, she still refused to give up this dedication to kindness.
Even this kindness would also make her die without a place to bury

her. As Pu Shu once wrote in "The Haughty Colonel":
people are like feathers, fate is like weeds,
hopeless, humble and proud
without expectation, no beg,
fate is like a knife, let me learn .


I also remembered reading the story of the
Little Mermaid when she was a child. The Little Mermaid abandoned her fish tail in exchange for a pair of human legs.
From then on, every step she took was as painful as walking on the blade of a knife.
"The Upanishad" once said:
"A handful The blade of a knife is not easy to cross; therefore, the wise men say that the way to salvation is difficult. "
Fate is like a knife . Whose growth does not climb over the blade again and again?
What's more, a woman who is always in shackles.
So I always appreciate those
girls who , like the little mermaid, dared to break free from the shackles of the beautiful fishtail, and are not afraid to
learn the blade of fate. They seek knowledge, seek truth, choose good and stubborn. The
more frustrated they become , the more courage they become until they become the world’s Light.
And Er Ya, is such a girl.
If so, it is inscribed for Arya Stark.
