If I remember correctly, I cried four times while reading.
The first time Ned recalled Robert and himself in the dungeon when he was young, "he saw the young king, tall and handsome, wearing a deer helmet, holding a warhammer, and riding like a horned giant. …" , look at us, the gods are above, how did we end up in this field? You are locked here, and I die at the feet of a pig. Back then, we conquered the country together and won the throne...'" At that time Robert had already In the past, Ned will also be dead soon.
The second time was when Khal Drogo learned that Daenerys had been poisoned, the king of the steppe, who had never intended to cross the narrow sea or even feared the sea, was indignant, "This poison seller wants to get rid of my life. Run away beside the moon, then let him run after her.... As for Drogo's son Rego, I will give him a gift too. I will give him the iron chair his mother's father once sat on, I , Drogo, Khal, do this." The episode even added a vision of Dany seeing Khal and her son in the tent in the Temple of the Immortal, keeping the family happy. The vision nearly broke Dany, who wasn't strong enough at the time.
The third time is the scene of Theon returning to the Iron Islands. From the point where the cornel trees are inserted all over the place and the children do not know each other, Theon, who has been a proton since he was a child, has never been able to gain a sense of identity, and has been struggling in the choice between his biological father and his adoptive father. He didn't know that he would make a series of wrong choices in the future, and he was tortured by Rams in every possible way.
The fourth time the Hound escaped from the Battle of the Blackwater and hid in Sansa's room before leaving, and had the little bird sing the last song for him. This reckless man with vulgar words and unruly behavior, but with a delicate heart, was abandoned by another of Stark's daughters under a tree in the riverlands, waiting to die silently.
I think this is because of the strong sense of fate, which makes the whole work full of tragic atmosphere. Some people are born to pave the way for other people's more important missions, to spend their whole lives, until they die, for the so-called three-headed dragon in many prophecies, the reincarnation of Azor Ahai, the Green Prophet... As readers, we have already Knowing that some people are not destined to become the protagonist and will die, but they do not know that they are in the fantasy of becoming heroes and are heading for a bleak fate. Everyone is the protagonist of their own life, but not everyone is the person destined by God.
Anyway, back to Hodor, my Dutch friend comforted me by saying, At least he was a happy big guy in his entire life. That's enough.
