The fate of Queen Cersei's three children has long been revealed in the form of prophecy, and they will all die before Cersei. But Toman's death set two records in the "Game of Thrones" episode. The first record is that the Baratheon family is completely extinct. Although Toman is not Baratheon by blood, he is, after all, the second son of Robert Baratheon in name. His suicide announced that the Baratheon family had completely withdrawn from the Game of Thrones.
The second record, which many people may not realize, is that he was the first person to commit suicide in this drama. There are countless people who die in "Game of Thrones". It's normal to see a person die, not to mention a person who doesn't have many scenes. But Toman is undoubtedly the first person to choose to end his life. His suicide was even in the expectation of his mother, Cersei, and it did not even make Queen Cersei more sad, but instead cleared the only obstacle for Cersei to ascend to the Iron Throne.
So, at the end of the sixth season, there is a queen on the Iron Throne, Queen Cersei.
At this point in the plot, it can be said that Cersei has fulfilled the dream of her father Tywin Lannister and boarded the Iron Throne that Lannister dreamed of. But the price was that Cersei's three children were killed or committed suicide.
Anyone who has watched the previous seasons hates Geoffrey Baratheon. This Cersei's eldest son, the legal heir to the Iron Throne, was triumphant as soon as he appeared on the stage. He humiliated Stark's eldest lady regardless of his status, but was given a lesson by the tomboy Elia Stark. This impossible second generation of the emperor appeared on the stage, and no one from the scene to the outside didn't hate him. When the plot developed to the back, he ignored the warning of his grandfather Tywin Lannister and executed Ed Stark, the prime minister, the minister of Tuogu, and the best man in the show in public. I think many people would like to go up and strangle him.
But everyone who has watched this play carefully knows that the big reason why Joffrey is so hateful comes from Cersei. First of all, most of this self-righteous arrogance is inherited from Cersei. Secondly, in addition to family inheritance, it is more due to Cersei's pampering and pampering.
Geoffrey is the product of incest between Cersei and his brother James, but it cannot be simply said that this perverted character is due to incest. The other two children were so simple and kind that the audience ignored their existence. Either adolescent rebellion, or this kind of toxic backlash in the character will naturally backfire the creator, and Joffrey is also unconsciously rebelling against people who distorted his personality. He not only resisted his mother, but also resisted the real power holder Tywin Lannister, and rejected the Lannister family who controlled the court. His elder uncle, his real father, James, was sent out of the capital. His second uncle, the dwarf giant Tyrion Lannister, was humiliated in every possible way. The closest relatives are treated like this, not to mention ministers and nobles who are like slaves. As a result, in the chaotic power struggle, several people who had not yet suffered the scourge of the pond conspired to poison Joffrey, just because they were afraid that such brutality would fall on them. Cersei personally portrayed her eldest son as an enemy of the public, which is tantamount to personally sending him into the hands of death.
The daughter Messiah is a pure angel, and there is relatively little ink in the play, lacking a true character description. This is probably also due to the fact that Cersei is not as concerned about Messiah as Joffrey, which avoids the distortion of Messiah's personality. In addition, when Messiah was sent to Dorne as a political marriage transaction at a very young age, she was relatively less tainted with the Lannister family's quirks. But she still cannot escape the political influence of her mother. In the power of the Lannister and Dorn nobles, the innocent Messiah and his lover were both poisoned to death.
If these two children died because of Cersei, Toman's death was caused by Cersei alone.
When Joffrey died, the juvenile Toman had to marry his sister-in-law Margaret Tyrell. Lannister and Tyrell married, originally for Tyrell's wealth to support finances. Toman, as the catcher, and his brother, Joe Freeby, are so naive and not like a descendant of Lannister at all, or even a prince. Geoffrey knew well about men and women before marriage. As a noble prince, this is not uncommon. But Toman actually didn't know what the relationship between men and women was, and he had never even contacted women. Of course he is still underage, but it also proves how little Cersei doesn't value this second son. This neglected second son was suddenly pushed to the top of the Iron Throne, knowing nothing, and there is only a dead end in this cruel game of power.
Margaret Tyrell is known as the "High Court Rose". For many years, the Lier family once wanted Margaret to replace Cersei as the queen. You can imagine the charm of Marguerite and the political ambition that the Tyrell family placed on Marguerite. Margaret married Renly Baratheon (Joffrey's uncle) who made herself king, then married Joffrey, and now married others in Toman. Every husband is a king, but none of them Get a good death. It is not that Margaret is born with Koff, but every husband is just a stepping stone for the Tyrell family to reach the peak of power. You know, Margaret's grandmother, Queen of Thorns, was one of the masterminds in the murder of Joffrey.
There are so many men in Marguerite's skirt, how can a little boy who knows nothing be a problem? The pillow wind was blowing, and Toman, who was mentally and physically immature, had no power to resist. A Chinese folk proverb says that if you marry a wife and forget your mother, Toman has forgotten her mother. Under the encouragement of the Tyrell family, he even wanted to marry his mother to someone else. Father Tywin was shot to death. Husband James left. Brother Tyrion had become an enemy and went into exile. Uncle Kavon felt that Cersei was a dead star. Cersei was isolated and helpless. The Tyrell family immediately replaced Lannister. The family has become the most powerful family.
At the beginning, it formed an alliance with the Tyrell family for money. Now, in order to fight the Tyrell family, Cersei repeats the same trick and recruits the low-level reformer of the Seven Gods into the capital, and supports it to replace the old bishop and become the capital. A major political force. Then use its power to purge the country in the name of morality. Thus, Loras, the Hundred Flowers Knight and the uncle of the Tyrell family, was arrested in the cathedral in the name of corrupting morals, and Marguerite was also implicated and arrested. Queen Cersei was not completely proud, but the big sparrow, regardless of her affection, took Cersei into the dungeon in the name of incest. Cersei is really stealing the chicken and not eroding the rice, which also shows that Cersei has not learned her father's tactics at all, but inherited her cruel, ruthless and tyrannical side. This is like a sword dancing with no swordsmanship, it must be yourself that hurts first.
The incest between Cersei and his twin brother James, because of the two major rebellions of the Baratheon family, this matter is no longer a secret. Ed Stark was executed because he knew this. If Cersei admits this, the foundations of her son's rule and the Lannister family's administration will be shaken. Of course she would not admit it. Fortunately, Margaret can't admit the fact that her brother is gay, otherwise the Tyrell family will not survive, and her rear position will not be guaranteed. If such a stalemate continues, the vacuum of power has made the church power of the big sparrow grow faster.
Toman, who is at a loss as to what to do, is in the most difficult moment since he was enthroned. Not only was his beloved wife arrested, but his mother was also arrested. But Toman's feelings are more biased towards his wife, not just the newlywed Yaner, Mao's child is fascinated by the prince, and more importantly, Toman knows that his wife and eldest brother-in-law have been arrested because of his mother's conspiracy. Coupled with the activities of the Queen of Thorns, Toman's balance is more biased towards Marguerite, to some extent that his mother is self-inflicted. With the development of time, the kindness of Toman's nature even developed a good impression of the church dominated by the big sparrow, and worshipped at the feet of the big sparrow. Cersei can't blame her son for being a "white-eyed wolf". If it weren't for her long-term neglect and protection, how could there be such a naive and naive king?
After struggling, Cersei recognized the situation earlier than Margaret, admitted the authority of the big sparrow, was shaved, and paraded naked to make atonement before returning from the church to the palace. This unprecedented humiliation made Cersei's hatred beyond resurrection. She successfully deceived the Sparrow, her son King Toman, and the Tyrell family. At the meeting of Loras's confession, she killed her two enemies. Lose. King Toman saw the cathedral turned into ruins in the blue fire from a distance, the big sparrow and Marguerite were wiped out in ashes, love and faith collapsed in an instant, he took off the crown, jumped down from the palace castle, and became "Game of Thrones." The first person to choose to die.
The death of Toman is different from the deaths of Geoffrey and Messiah. Cersei had no more tears. Not only did she predict that her three children would be lost, but more importantly, she knew that she was responsible for the death of Toman. A few years ago, Toman was still a naive prince under the protection of his mother and his elder brother. No one paid attention to or hated him. A few years later, he saw the death of an individual in the family, the cruelty of the game of power, the worthlessness of himself as a pawn, and the fact that love, faith, and affection were just victims in the struggle for power. Toman's suicide was decisive and clean, and it was the most unsurprising but most regrettable death in the whole show.
Cersei, who had lost her father and children, ascended to the Iron Throne without hesitation, without even notifying her brother and husband James Lannister. Except for power, she has no scruples and cares.
In this play, the mothers’ love for their children are the housewives Caitlin and Cersei of the Stark family. Caitlin's second daughter, Elijah, hates Cersei and Joffrey the most because they are the masterminds in the murder of his father Ed. However, Elia saw that others were poisoned to death when playing Joffrey on stage, and Cersei cried with pain and grief. She actually sympathized with Cersei, and even suggested that the actor should understand the mother's feelings for her son in order to perform well. This is probably because her mother Caitlin is like Cersei guarding the calf, so she can best appreciate the greatness of maternal love.
It's just that Caitlin has relatively few roles, and she doesn't interact much with her children, so it is difficult to express her profound influence on her children. But what’s interesting is that Caitlin interacted most with Robb, the eldest son of the Stark family, and was the biggest supporter of Robb’s revenge. He was also an opponent of Robb’s independent marriage. In the end, he let him go to save other children. Capturing James Lannister, this indirectly became the incentive for the "red wedding". It was in this red wedding that the resistance army of the Stark family was slaughtered. The other children of the Stark family, including the illegitimate son Jon Snow, grew up quickly because of the premature death of both parents, and became the backbone of the restoration of the honor of the Stark family.
This may be a standard set by the author of "Game of Thrones": the earlier the parents die, or the earlier the ones who leave their parents, the faster they grow and the greater their achievements.
Because of the tragic death of their parents, the children of the Stark family have seen the ruthlessness of political games very early, and quickly learned to skillfully use strategy and force to survive. This is most evident in the eldest daughter, Sansa. Sansa was able to conspiracy with "Little Finger" to kill her own aunt, this is no longer the silly and sweet noble lady back then.
As for the most insidious conspirator "Littlefinger" in the whole show, Earl Bellissy was born humble, his parents died early, and his love is hopeless, but he became one of the most powerful people in the kingdom. All of this is due to his own efforts.
Because of his size, Fat Sam was expelled by his father to the north to become a "crow" to guard the Great Wall, but he became the first person to find a ghost. In the future, he will also become one of the famous bachelors in the kingdom.
Leona, the ruler of the Mormon family of Bear Island, was only ten years old, and because her parents were dead, she became a ruler with a degree of advancing and retreat. Under Bolton's lust, she adhered to principles to support the restoration of the Stark family and supported Snow to become the new guardian of the North. These things can make a group of big masters ashamed.
Of course, there is also the Dragon Queen, who was born an orphan, and his brother is an incompetent and self-righteous "prince" like Joffrey. It can be said that the Dragon Queen is the person with the lowest starting point at the end of the play. However, the Dragon Queen was helpless, quickly recognized the situation, learned foreign languages, and turned the originally loveless political marriage into a love legend that moved people and gods, which became the starting point for her to reverse her life. By the sixth season, she had surpassed everyone in the show and became the biggest beneficiary of Game of Thrones.
This drama uses positive and negative examples to prove that parents are the biggest fetters for the growth of children. What if the parents are not dead? Perhaps the best way for a person not to be killed by his parents is to "kill" his parents.
Tyrion, the dwarf lion, shot his father Tywin Lannister to death on the toilet and completely reversed his life. Cersei couldn't dispel the shadow of her father, and ran all the way on the road of death, and even sacrificed the lives of three of her children. Even Tai Wen's character comes from a rebellious and incompetent rebellion against his father, Taitos Lannister. It was in order to kill "father" in his heart that he became a cruel and tyrannical person who greeted power. After slaughtering the two rebellious families, he even composed the song "Rainy Season in Castelmay", which became a footnote to his lifelong pursuit of power. Tywin's character caused Cersei and James to become victims. Tai Wen's tough character and pursuit of power made the then king (the dragon queen's father, the mad king) extremely worried, and the heir James was ordered to be the royal guard who could not marry. After hearing the news that the mad king was going to slaughter the ministers, James killed the mad king and became the "king-slayer" despised by everyone, bearing this infamy all his life. As a political bargain, Cersei married the King Robert Baratheon after the successful rebellion, but became a decoration of Baratheon's crown. A pair of twin siblings who don't know how to find comfort in frustration finally warm up each other and become the protagonists of undisturbed love. As for the second son, Tyrion, because he was a dwarf, he became a humiliation to Tai Wen's life. He even did not hesitate to kill his son, but he did not notice that only this Tyrion truly inherited Tai Wen's political wisdom.
Parents want their children to be good, but this kind of goodness is basically based on the good understanding of the parents. What a person can recognize well is basically a desire that he cannot realize himself. Therefore, what parents give to their children becomes a game for parents to realize their unfulfilled desires. Lucky children can recognize their true needs in the game, so that they can escape from the shadow of their parents and truly grow up. Without the blessing of the God of Fortune, children will not be able to truly recognize their own needs throughout their lives, and will regard the needs of their parents as their needs, and will eventually lose themselves in their lives and walk into the path of no return. But this lucky god often appears in the form of taking the lives of his parents, often in the form of suffering, allowing the children who have lost their protection to find a way of life that truly suits them. If not, growth must experience the spiritual "father-killing"; and when the parents are extremely powerful, they even need real father-killing, such as Tyrion Lannister.
In his youth, Tai Wen grew into a hero by surpassing his father. However, his experience solidified his consciousness into the power of power in the public and the honor of the family in the private. Under his influence, the eldest daughter Cersei became a copy of him and passed it down to his eldest grandson Joffrey in a gradual decay form. In the end, the three generations of grandchildren also ended up (Cersei is not dead, but the iron throne) People must die without a doubt). James lost his family responsibilities because he became the Guardian of the Royal Forest, but instead kept some conscience in his heart. Tyrion, on the other hand, became an outlier in the family because of his father's discrimination. Through the extreme form of killing the family "tyrant", he was liberated and gained political affirmation from the Dragon Queen. It is conceivable that he will become the heir of the Lannister family.
The more protected the parents are, the less the children can grow up or grow crooked. Parents die early, but children quickly become responsible and responsible adults. Maybe this is not just a fiction of a TV series or a novel, but a reflection of the real world. However, this is not the opinion of the "Game of Thrones" family. For thousands of years, humans have been verifying and discussing this strange phenomenon. But the only conclusion may be: growth is a game of power between children and parents!
