Character commentary

Tywin Lannister: The death of his wife in childbirth made Tywin himself. Life is the word for fame and fortune. As long as these two goals can be achieved, it can be said that everything can be done. The achievements in this life are unparalleled.

Jaime Lannister: "Kingslayer" is not only a manifestation of his kingslayer, but also includes an incestuous relationship with his sister Sexi, two seemingly unrelated things, but in fact they are very related. In James' view, tyranny and incest are appearances, and he is not ashamed of it. Rather, he measures his heart rather than appearance. Therefore, when Caitlyn angrily denounced him as a shameless man, he only smiled helplessly and asked why the noble Ned had an illegitimate child. Of course, he apologised for maiming Bran, because it wasn't his intention after all.

"Little Devil" Tyrion Lannister: His extraordinary background and experience made him gradually possess the virtues of kindness, patience, struggle and wisdom. He is the soul of the whole play, and the character the author focuses on portraying the most, representing the central values ​​of the work, just as the author expresses his views on the world through him. The biggest difference from other characters is that he is not bound by the established character, but will change with the development of the plot, and the representative should improve. Although he can't completely get out of the shadow of "dwarf", he is almost the ultimate human being can do.

Ned Stark: Legalist, the legalist of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. In Ned's view, the so-called justice is reflected in the maintenance of the law, and everything can be ignored, but the laws of the ancestors cannot be changed. So he kept insisting, but who could do it? Neither can Ned. When he was on the verge of death, he realized that there were too many things to put down. In order to save the lives of his children, he chose to lie, and his honor and reputation collapsed in an instant. This is the most serious mistake he has made, not the inability to run the country.

Catelyn Tully Stark: Obsessed with honor even more than Ned, simply because he came from the Tully family. Of course it was all in vain, because she didn't understand that honor was just a word for "name", and fame came before wealth. In Vanity Fair, they are no better than the Lannisters.

Robb Stark: He was assassinated, objectively as a result of a conspiracy, but as a price for not keeping his word. More deeply, it was his disdain for the Frey family. The root cause is that he inherited the blood of the Stark and Tully families, and could not help but consider himself a noble family and treat people differently. The so-called honesty and trustworthiness, in his opinion, need not apply to those whom he despises, and it is this point that makes full use of his opponents. In addition, he also made such actions for love, which is considered human nature, and there are many cases of being carried away by love.

Robert Baratheon: Confessed to Sexi that he didn't remember what Lyanna looked like, just to get it. All actions take this as the starting point. Once the goal is hopeless, it is not difficult to understand. Very ordinary male thinking, a martial artist.

Joffrey Baratheon: His pretentious, tyrannical personality was incomprehensible at first, but since the abuse of prostitutes it became clear. As an incompetent, it's not surprising to do anything weird. Sexi's evaluation of her son is cruel, while Robert is not cruel. The birth of incest, no matter how self-righteous James is, he can't justify the evil consequences he sowed with his own hands.

Theon Greyjoy: He was sent to Winterfell as a proton since he was a child. On the one hand, he tried to please the Stark family, and on the other hand, he always hoped to restore the glory of his father's family. Such a mentality led him to make irrational killings after capturing Winterfell. He said the killing was to show toughness, but on the contrary it showed weakness, as even his sister Yara said. His abuse by Rams was entirely self-inflicted.

Oberyn Martell: As a secondary character, Prince Oberyn is also eye-catching enough, mainly due to his unusual style and legendary extraordinary power. Of course, it must be said that its purpose is very simple, that is, revenge. Apart from showing his ability to die immediately, there is no need for the character to continue to survive. Friends who thought he died in vain, please think carefully, if he continues to live, what can he do?

Petyr Baelish "Littlefinger": If he was from a high-level background, his achievements would have even been defeated by Tywin within the Seven Kingdoms. Just counting the time period described in the series, Littlefinger is the biggest winner, but not the one the author wants to praise. Assuming he finally gets it all, what's next? Suppose he died well, after death, everything is just a puff of dust. He has considered everything, but he has no consideration for death, but he does not know that this is the gate of life. He dared to take risks and take failure, but he could not bear death.

Varys: "Unfortunately, I never forget anything" he confessed to Tyrion at the trial. Yes, this extremely unfavorable testimony is definitely not directed at Tyrion, but has a plan for himself. In fact, the eunuch never harmed anyone, including Ned. Moreover, he never lied and deceived others. What he said was just telling the truth, and it was the listener who had the problem, not him. Isn't that what the world is like? People don't like to listen to the truth, and they don't understand the truth, let alone the truth. They just twist it according to their own will.

Bachelor Luwin: A person who has been educated and experienced, does not care about the world, and can be calm in the face of the brutal murder of gangsters. It can be said that the Stark family governs Winterfell, and those who guide the way of Winterfell are all scholars like Luwin.

Bronn: I believe no audience would hate someone like Bronn. When Tyrion inquired about his order for infanticide, he said "I'll ask how much". When talking about why he didn't want to act as a proxy warrior for Tyrion to fight against the mountain, he was still frank enough to ask "We are friends, but have you ever died for me?" He was too honest, completely and completely Accept yourself as you are. The show keeps showing how he loves money, but don't think he's mercenary, he's just too honest, honest with everyone and everything, and honest people live easily. And does every spectator here yearn for this kind of mentality, but can't get it?

Sandor Clegane "The Hound": A childhood misadventure made him shattered. He seemed to be saying, "Is it vicious on the outside? Then I'll be a villain on the outside, but on the inside, I'm still who I am. The little devil is not alone, he's not fighting alone, and I - the hound. "Though the Sandorians are humble, they are no less firm in their convictions.

    The hound actually died, I may have Stockholm syndrome. Snow's savage ticket has been suspended. I heard that it was because of the request for a salary increase. So the big devil Tywin died on the toilet because his request for a salary increase was too much? The battle of the Great Wall is on fire! ! !
