I think that when Yegritte died, she left with contentment. It got me thinking, "Jon Snow, you don't know anything", what's behind the mantra. Anyone who has read John Le Carré's novels seriously, especially the classic "Berlin Spy", will be moved by the tangled, divided and complicated love of spies. Camp, position, where to go in the whirlpool of love, this is a timeless classic topic. And Jon Snow, what do you not know about love? What I don't understand is that Ygritte was his first love, a real first love. Jon has never tried to fall in love with a woman, so when he didn't meet Yegritte, Jon just pursued a sense of status, a sense of mission, and proved that although he was an illegitimate child, he couldn't be seen clearly by others. , So, even for others, how hard the Great Wall Crow Army is, and even with humiliation, the brothers of the Night Watch may have been heroes and warriors who held fast to their beliefs in ancient times. But today's Night's Watch Legion is understaffed, and its discipline and literacy are not as good as those of the past. But Jon found his place in the oath of the Night's Watch. If he can play a role in the Night's Watch and protect the North, at least he will find his worth. This is an illegitimate child, but retains the personality of a wolf-blood family that is not inferior to his elder brother. And when Jon faces his struggles with love and creed, we don't see any real shake in Jon throughout the process. Jon was an undercover savage, loyal to the North, loyal to the Starks, loyal to the Night's Watch and never wavered. He risked being shot to death by Yegritte, surrounded and killed by the Savage Legion, and still had to complete his mission, because he could not end up as a traitor's bastard and be included in the history of the Night's Watch. So, in fact, Ygritte's appearance did not exist as a role as a man who changed her, but her appearance made Jon more mature, and let him know how much sacrifice he had to make to hold on to certain beliefs . In that sense, Jon Snow, you don't understand anything. . . . . . But maybe he's starting to understand.
And the feminist personality of Yegret's character is obvious. First of all, she dares to love and hate, and she is never ambiguous about love. Her fiery love for Jon is swift and fierce, and her performance is also very direct. She is strong, strong, and determined. She tries to Use her love to make Jon forget his identity as the Night's Watch, though in the end she is futile. She is willing to kill the crow with her own hands, kill Jon, and bury this relationship for her creed. In this sense, Yegritte's belief in herself is as firm as that of Jon. She can't betray the free people. In front of her feminist spirit equal to men, there is no way to betray the camp because of love. Her personality was truly independent, and she became the representative of a free woman. Maybe it’s a bit rigid to say, but it’s true. The only point is not about feminism, but about love. Yegret missed many opportunities to assassinate Jon. She was just hesitant because of the nature of women. Soft-hearted and trying to prolong this pain, this time of having to face Jon, and face him for life and death. Is it not Jon, so her final death was a fatal tragedy. Her equal but short-lived love with Jon was poignantly lonely in the face of war, position and belief. Maybe this may not be able to use enough space and expand the story to explain the contradictions of this love, but at least we have seen something that can touch our hearts.
Finally, I would like to briefly talk about the magical work of A Song of Ice and Fire with a clear sense of feminism. At the end of the 4th season, the most outstanding adaptation, I think it is the alternate use of medium and long shots of Bryony and the Hound, the background is poignant and desolate, the two male and female warriors fight with each other, and even kick each other's genitals, which makes the audience jump. This is an adaptation, But when Bryony fought the beast-like hounds, the kind of fierceness that did not lose to men was in the same vein as the feminist character culture of A Song of Ice and Fire. This bloody battle on the cliff, the camera and the light and shadow, the action It is really pleasing to cooperate. The Brienne-type personality and the fullness of the role have been fully displayed.
Secondly, let's look at the dragon girl. The feminist image of the dragon girl is a heroine and female leader like Wu Zetian, Joan of Arc, and Mu Guiying. The plots in the play about several people looking for the dragon girl to deal with their problems are very good. Each plot conveys a message. Although the dragon girl has a higher heart than the sky, she is eager to liberate life and save the people from fire and water in the name of freedom. , but the problem is that in the face of many contradictions and resistance in reality, some of Whitebeard's and Jorah's suggestions are right. They are teaching her to be a smooth ruler and learn to think like a man. However, in the process of practicing women's rights, the dragon girl inevitably has the emotional characteristics of women. She doesn't know that some slaves have a good relationship with the slave owners, and even find their own value. She doesn't know that she really let the department kill the slave owners. The slave was happy, but it brought pain to more relatives. She did not take care of her dragon. Her dragon gave her a symbol of power and conquest, but she indulged her "children" too much and hurt many civilians. Maybe she should learn to think differently, or maybe she has to make her rule of law bring a male way of thinking.
I have to mention that another very representative feminist role is Empress Dowager Sexi. Sexi comes from a pampered background, the problem is that what she has always lacked is freedom. Except for Jaime, she was a loser in both love and family life, and her fruitless romance with Prince Rhaegar, her father, Robert, gave her no real warmth. This repressed and divided emotion made her incest with her younger brother, and at the same time, she hated the dwarf brother Tyrion who made her lose her mother's love (Sexi believed that her mother's dystocia was Tyrion's fault.) Therefore, Sexi put herself All the love is poured into her three children, and she spoils them too much. She is undoubtedly a failed mother, a failed wife, and a failed queen, but she has never lacked the spirit of daring to resist. She firmly disagrees with her father. Help her arrange to marry Loras Tyrell, never be lenient towards enemies, spare no effort in building up her own power, and make good use of her own weapons of sex. It cannot be said that these actions and overly self-interested creeds of Sexi are right. Yes, but she is a strong and unyielding female man, there is no doubt about that. In this sense, Sexi also has a strong sense of feminism. It can only be that her tragedy stems from her inherent environment and character flaws. In fact, her life was no harder than Tyrion and Jaime.
The feminist consciousness of Alia and Sansa is a process of gradual awakening. Both of them gradually learn to face life, deal with complex and changeable interpersonal environments, and achieve the same goal through different paths. While Arya has to learn to live like a jackal, Sansa has to learn to hide her emotions and carefully plan her every move. And Melisandre, who is good at using her beauty and her magical abilities, she has a method for Stannis and Davos, and even for Mrs. Stannis, she can maintain a kind of Harmonious communication relationship, let her know that she did not go to his husband to compete with her, but that they both have a mission that they have to complete (in a sense, what she said is true.) And Leza is also a different person. An uncompromising strong woman, she was ruthless and participated in almost all of Littlefinger’s conspiracies, poisoning her husband and assassinating King Xiao Qiao (Actually, there is no clear evidence for this, but it is also possible to say that Lysa participated in cooperation and support. ) In her love for Littlefinger, she is crazy, persistent and fanatical, fighting for every inch of land. This is why her sister is strong, independent, and family-oriented. Although both sisters have personality flaws to varying degrees, they have to say that they are also strong women. There is also Asha of Iron Island, who is by no means ambiguous on the issue of inheritance. He instructs Tiemin to act resolutely and act daringly. When his younger brother suffers, he has a firm and strong sense of mission to care for his younger brother and defend the honor of the family.
There are also various supporting roles, and the feminist spirit is also vivid on the paper, so I won't go into details.
In short, this American drama with wonderful female characters, looking forward to more exciting seasons!
