Recently, a few readers left me a message saying that, as the original party itself, they would like to see my analysis of the future development of the characters and stories in the book rather than what happened in the past on the continent of Westeros. Heroes, I had the same intention. After writing two "literacy posts" on basic common sense and history, it's time for something in-depth. So in this issue, let us discuss the ultimate fate of several main characters through the theme of "curse". Note that I said "curse" here, not "prophecy". The former is mostly about the personal fate of the characters, while the latter is an important force leading the development of the main line of "A Song of Ice and Fire". I use the "Curse Chapter" as a guide, which is the beginning of the in-depth analysis of the "Panoramic Dialysis" series. As a continent with numerous races and a long history, Westeros has gradually formed some deeply rooted "concepts" or "rules" in the course of tens of thousands of years of war and migration. Whether it is the belief in the Old Gods or the Seven Gods, people's recognition of these "rules" is so deep that they transcend the division between country and religion, and are regarded as a recognized "taboo" by all residents of Westeros. And for those who dared to commit taboos, the curse came into being. In my opinion, these "curses" that have been repeatedly verified by the history of Westeros are the hidden lines that Uncle Martin has laid for the fate of the characters. Just like the verdicts read in the fifth episode of "A Dream of Red Mansions" in "Jia Baoyu's Immortal Journey", they have already hinted at the final outcome of some characters. Westeros has several recognized "curses", let me tell you one of them. 1. Guest rights Guest rights mean that when a guest comes to the host's house as a guest, once he accepts the bread and salt provided by the host, the host-guest relationship is deemed to be established. During the subsequent guest period, neither party may harm the other. Guest rights are a tradition that has been passed down in Westeros for thousands of years. Whether commoners or nobles, whether they believe in the Seven Gods or the old gods, they must abide by this regulation, otherwise they will be rejected by the old and new gods. I don’t know if everyone remembers that before the “Scarlet Wedding” happened, Catelyn Stark repeatedly asked Robb Stark to ask the Frey family to provide food as soon as possible when he led his troops into the Twins City, the territory of the Frey family. Caitlyn did this so that the guest rights would take effect early enough to ensure the safety of their group while they were in the Twins. I have to admit that Robb is far less skilled than his mother when it comes to knowing people. Catelyn knew very well that the lord of the Frey family, the 90-year-old Marquis Walder Frey, was a small-bellied and calculating man. He would never easily forgive Robb for betraying his engagement with the Frey family and marrying another. behavior of others. The fact is as Catelyn expected, after Walder Frey learned that Robb betrayed the engagement, he secretly fell to Lannister, and under the advice of Duke Tywin, pretended to let his daughter Roslyn Frey married Robb's uncle Edmure Tully, the new Duke of Riverrun, and lured Robb's army into the Twins to attend the wedding. It turns out that even Catelyn could not have imagined that Marquis Frey would openly trample on "guest rights" in retaliation for Robb's betrayal of the engagement. The massacre of the Frey family on the northern army in "The Bloody Wedding" shocked the entire Westeros. Although it pushed the already troubled Stark family to a "destroyed" situation, the Frey family ignored " The behavior of "guest rights" also demolished their dignity in Westeros, and was despised by all lords, including allies. Therefore, please rest assured, fans of the show, that the Frey family who violated the rights of the guests has been "unaccepted by the old and new gods", and what awaits them will be the most terrible punishment. Although it is not known how Lord Walder Frey himself will end, at present, in Beric Dondarrion (the one who was resurrected many times by the Red Monk, Thoros of Myr) with his own After resurrecting the slit-throated Catelyn Stark, the resurrected "Lady Stoneheart" takes over Beric Dondarrion's Brotherhood Without Banners. Vengeful Catelyn led the Brotherhood without Banners to kill people associated with the Scarlet Wedding, and several members of Marquis Frey's immediate family had been killed by the Brotherhood without Banners. Violating the rights of guests is a hole dug by the Frey family for themselves. This is not subject to the nobility of Westeros because of the upstart and mercenary. The family that the Lord sees will one day pay the price for their actions. 2. The Curse of Harrenhal We mentioned Harrenhal in the last issue. It is located in the Riverlands and was built before the Dragon House's "Conqueror's War" against Westeros. It is the largest fortress of the Seven Kingdoms. The owner of the castle is usually the richest person in Westeros, because the financial resources of the general family cannot afford the basic maintenance expenses of Harrenhal. Harrenhal was built by the former king of the Iron Islands and the Riverlands, Harren Hall from House Hall, also known as "Harren the Black". As a famous tyrant, Heron has been determined to build the largest castle in history since he inherited the throne. To this end, he did not hesitate to exhaust the resources of the Iron Islands and the rich riverlands. It took him forty years before and after, and he finally fulfilled his wish. For readers who are familiar with Chinese history, the following story is simply a copy of Qin Shi Huangdi and Sui Yangdi - because of the construction of Harrenhal, the people in the Hejian area are full of grievances. Time of Troy. The oppressed lords of the riverlands turned to Targaryen, and the Dragon King led an army of 8,000 people to besiege Harren the Blackheart in Harrenhal. Harren, who considered Harrenhal unbreakable, refused to surrender until Aegon rode his dragon "Bellerion" and burned the entire House of Hall in Harrenhal's "Tower of the Burning King". It is said that Harren ordered the castle to be built with human blood mixed with plaster, and Harrenhal was cursed for it. Since the death of Heron the Black Heart, Harrenhal has changed hands several times, but every family, lord, and even the knights who have been stationed here have been wiped out. Putting aside the fact that it was too long ago, during the reign of the Mad King, Harrenhal was owned by the wealthy high lords of the Riverlands, the Hean family. The He'an family held a tournament in Harrenhal, and it was this tournament that made Rhaegar and Lyanna acquainted, and became the fuse of the usurper's war. The He'an family also gradually declined due to their support for the king's army during the usurper's war. During the "War of the Five Kings" triggered by the beheading of Ned Stark in King's Landing, the last lord of the House of Harren in Harrenhal, Sheila Hean, surrendered to Duke Tywin and gave up Harrenhal. And he himself died shortly after. Since then, Harrenhal has been captured and garrisoned by several troops, including - Duke Tywin; - Genos Slint (former commander of the capital garrison of King's Landing, assigned by Tyrion to join the Night's Watch, and later for many times of disobedience) Ordered to be beheaded by Jon Snow); - Ser Amory Lodge (murderer of the brutal murder of Prince Rhaegar's daughter Princess Rhaenys, who was fed a bear by the mercenary "Blood Theater" in Harrenhal); - Bo Roose Bolton, Lord of the Dun House; - Vag Holt, a member of the "Blood Opera Troupe" (dismembered by The Mountain); - "The Magic Mountain" Gregor Clegane (died of poison in a duel with Oberon Martell, now his head is dedicated to Prince Dorne, and his body is remodeled on the back of Cersei's maester Cobain Became a fighting machine "The Headless Horseman"); - Polliver (acting lord during the departure of the Mountain, killed by the Mountain's younger brother "Hound" Sandor Clegane); - Bonifore Hastie (Currently stationed at Harrenhal on behalf of Petyr Baelish) As can be seen from recent events, the curse of Harrenhal is far from a legend. So far, only Roose Bolton and the current acting lord of Harrenhal have not been killed. Roose Bolton was killed by his illegitimate son Ramsay Snow in the TV series, but is still alive in the books. But Lord Bolton's death is a matter of time, after all, he betrayed the Stark family as the protagonist. Regarding the curse of Harrenhal, the most noteworthy one is Petyr Baelish "Littlefinger". After Stannis' fleet was defeated on the Blackwater outside King's Landing, Lord Tywin awarded Littlefinger the title of "Duke of Harrenhal". Although he never entered Harrenhal, Littlefinger had actually become the nominal owner of Harrenhal as early as the War of the Five Kings. Given the existence of the "Curse of Harrenhal", I have reason to speculate that the final outcome of Littlefinger is not optimistic. How will this god-man who single-handedly play the seven kingdoms in the palm of his hand will end? This is one of the major suspense that I am most looking forward to answering from Martin. 3. The kinslayer's curse, "kinslaying," that is, killing one's own relatives, is a well-recognized taboo in Westeros, and gods old and new will curse kinslayers forever. Kinslayers throughout history have been punished harshly by fate. In the book, the kinslayer whose curse has been fulfilled is "The Magic Mountain" Gregor Clegane, a born sociopath who murdered his father, sister, and two wives, as well as his brother Sandor Clegane. Clegane was disfigured. Due to the existence of this curse, the fate of some characters is basically a foregone conclusion. Including Euron Greyjoy, who hired the Faceless to kill his brother Balon Greyjoy (King of the Iron Islands), and Stannis Barashie, who condoned Melisandre to kill his brother Renly Well (of course, given Stannis's special status as the king of Dragonstone, he won't die that early. Also, Stannis is definitely not a pervert who can burn his own daughter to sacrifice! At this point, the show's I'm very dissatisfied with the handling!) So here comes the biggest problem. Duke Tywin was killed by Tyrion himself with a crossbow. Could our favorite little devil also die because of this curse? It will take some time for Uncle Martin to fill this hole, but some of the senior originals party and I are more inclined to a theory - that Tyrion is not Duke Tywin's biological son, and the curse of the kinslayer is this Strong evidence for speculation - that if Tyrion was not Lord Tywin's biological child, he would not be cursed. As I mentioned in the last issue of A History of Westeros, Mad King Aerys had been coveting Tywin's wife Joanna's beauty, and publicly offended her many times. It is very possible that the Mad King raped Joanna while Tywin was not in King's Landing, causing her to become pregnant. Duke Tywin's extremely bad attitude towards Tyrion since he was born also supports this speculation. As the so-called tiger poison does not eat its children, even if Tyrion is a dwarf, if it is a biological child born to his beloved wife, it should be Will not hate him so far. Another strong piece of evidence that never appears in the series is the description of Tyrion's appearance. Unlike other Lannister blond hair, Tyrion's hair color is platinum blonde, which is one of the hallmarks of House Targaryen. And Tyrion's eyes are one black and one green. Historically, only Aegon IV's illegitimate daughter "Yang Xing" Siri has been confirmed to have such "yin and yang eyes". Tyrion is now the most famous "kinslayer" and "kingslayer" of the Seven Kingdoms (who has been accused of murdering Joe), and we'll see how his fortunes turn around. 4. The Curse of the King Killer was originally a very serious crime in Westeros, and would be cursed by the gods, but due to years of wars and self-proclaimed kings, it became more and more difficult to define King Killer . If only the Iron Throne is considered orthodox, then Jaime Lannister the "Kingslayer", Cersei who used drunkenness and wild boars to kill Robert, and Littlefinger who conspired to poison Joffrey and Tyrell the "Queen of Thorns" The ladies are the perfect candidates for the curse (the Lannisters are all kingslayers, this family is really worrying). Cersei has the prophecy of the witch, and Littlefinger has been cursed by Harrenhal, and the ending point of the two is relatively clear. I'm more interested in Jaime Lannister. Unlike Tywin and Cersei, Jaime is generally a good man, even in the interests of his family. The mad king was killed for the purpose of saving the country and the people, and he always valued the honor of knights, but as the de facto "Kingslayer" and the heir to the Lannister family, Jaime's position is very delicate. Although I don't want to see him die, I have never been able to make optimistic predictions about his ending. Jaime is more like the atonement of the Lannister family. He has to bear the sins caused by his father and sister. He hopes that Uncle Martin can give him an honorable destination, at least let him wrap his body in horse leather on the ultimate battlefield of "Ice and Fire". It can also be regarded as compensation for the slander he has carried for so many years as a "king killer". That's all for the curse chapter. The next two episodes are all about prophecy. We will speculate and analyze the fate and plot deduction of more characters, so stay tuned! As usual, promote my public account "Guo Daxia's Jianghu", scan the QR code below to follow.
