Cersei: From the queen to the mad queen, what has she experienced?

The season of "Game of Thrones" ends, and there will be one less expectation on Monday.

The finale of the sixth season can be said to have fired the entire season to its highest point. There were all sorts of moving and amazing pictures.

Xue Nuo's life experience was finally revealed. The dragon mother's warship finally sailed to the continent of Westeros. The little devil becomes the "hand of the queen". And in this episode, I can hear the tearful BGM.



But in my opinion, the most surprising thing about this episode is probably Cersei's performance. So, for today's article, I want to write about Cersei after sex. This character that everyone has gritted their teeth and hated.



reminds everyone that the process of analyzing Cersei will definitely bring a lot of plots from the first six seasons. So friends who don't want to be spoiled can stop reading this.

1. Color queen:
"When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die." When you play the game of thrones, you win or die
.



When Cersei warned the honest Ned in the first season, she already stated the philosophy of survival in the struggle for power.

At the end of the sixth season, Cersei proved her words with practice. Have you already thought of this conspiracy?

Cersei's conspiracy is traceable. When she discovered that she could not stand trial by martial arts, she believed that this plan had already begun brewing in her heart.



After all, she is not a character who is waiting to die. When Ned found evidence that she had an affair with her brother James and wanted to sue, he preemptively killed her husband Robert, and "indulged" her son and chopped off Ned's head.

(I have to say that many people have too much prejudice in the understanding of the word "connivance". Basic definition: refers to the development of wrongdoing without restraint. Connivance and instigation or behind-the-scenes are fundamentally different. So don’t I haven’t watched the show anymore in the comment area.)

Cersei's unscrupulous way to survive, her coldness of self-protection, and her cunning mastery of conspiracy, can be said to be both dark and admirable.



As a woman in a kingdom, she was despised by her father, her husband, Ned, and even by the bishop of the big sparrow.

But her coldness and cunning were also underestimated by them. They fight against Cersei with benevolence, morality, religious rules, and they are destined to be losers. Because they can't beat a player who doesn't play cards according to the rules of the game.

The same clever little rose tried to warn the bishop of the high sparrow. But arrogance and ignorance make the big sparrow doomed to a tragedy.



Everything proves that they are too broken. What's more, in "Game of Thrones", women can never be taken lightly.

Mother Dragon, Three Fools, Queen of Thorns, and Little Lori on Bear Island who planted grass quickly in recent episodes are the best representatives.



As a woman, she may be a stupid queen who doesn't understand strategy, and eventually betrayed her relatives. But I have to say that her black belly power technique is amazing, and it is also the most unpredictable for opponents.

This is why Cersei is able to "achieve outstanding results" in the "Game of Thrones" killer rankings.

2. Empress: The obsession with power from queen to queen
Cersei is not only a black-bellied power player, but also a very ambitious power seeker. This is probably something that everyone, including James, did not expect.

But all of this is traceable.

In the past six seasons, there have been such scenes that have impressed me deeply.

One is that when Cersei was a little girl, she broke into the tent of a forest witch. Such a conversation happened.



Cersei: When can I marry the prince?
Wu Ji: Never, you will marry the king.
Cersei: I will be a queen, right?

The witch predicted that she would become a queen. Although it is also predicted that she will be replaced by a younger queen, her three children will also die. But this kind of ambition of strategy has been planted in Cersei's heart since childhood.

This is not the same thing as Sansha who simply wanted to marry Geoffrey the Great and become the queen. Sansha is more of a princess dream that hopes the prince will fall in love with him.

Second, the queen's father, Tai Wen, scolded Cersei for being too stupid at the table in King's Landing City, and allowed his son to kill Nide to affect the overall situation.



Cersei said at the time: "Have you ever thought that it is possible that I, your daughter, is the Lannister family who is trustworthy and the only person who follows your teachings? It

can be seen that they are extremely eager to get them. Father’s affirmation, hope to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility. She is not willing to be a pawn in a marriage. The

third is Cersei’s inner change when facing the death of her three children.

In the first child, Joffrey When she died, her reaction was hysterical, like an angry lioness.



The death of the second child, Messiah, made Cersei sad. But compared to the first hysteria, she seemed to be here. At the beginning of the season, he has accepted the sorrow of fatalism.



And this time the death of the third child, Toman, Cersei was so calm that her heart as a mother was completely dead.



As a result, Cersei, who is no longer a mother, can finally chase power freely. You can completely release your ambitions.

She can finally be completely crazy. This kind of madness is quite like a mad king back then. It's no wonder that Geoffrey's personality was a bit perverted.

As she said to the nun who was arrested:

I do things because they feel good.
I do all this because I feel good .

Abandoned the identity of the mother, abandoned the identity of the queen, she really wants to be a generation queen. Also a crazy queen.



Looking at this woman from the perspective of criminal psychology, we can use "sociopath" (anti-social) to describe this woman's various behaviors. This is about to confirm another prediction.

Back then, Wu Ji "Toad" predicted that she would be strangled to death by her brother. She used to believe that the person who killed her was the little devil, but from the eyes of James watching Cersei in this episode, the "King Killer" may become the "Latter Killer".



The burning of King’s Landing City reminds me of Cersei’s exciting war declaration in the trailer:

I choose violence
.

At that time, Moshan killed a small soldier under the archbishop and was complained by the audience about what kind of violence it was. The fire in this episode of Junlin City is called the real I choose violence.



With power, Cersei finally changed from a "queen" to a "queen". Did you expect this?

Next, let us look forward to Cersei in the next season, facing the menacing arrival of another queen dragon mother, and the growing growth of another king of the north, Xue Nuo, see how she will deal with it?



The one-year waiting journey has begun again!
