Game of Thrones : A series full of Betrayal!!
The Game of Thrones is an epic fantasy drama television series created by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss for HBO. Based on the Song of Ice and Fire novels written by George R. R. Martin. The show takes place on the fictional continents of Westeros and Essos at war, with some characters inhabiting more than one continent – while others are not born into these lands at all but still end up playing a major role in its events.
What is the plot of the story ?
The show’s first episode introduces the principal characters and establishes several key plot points. Robert Baratheon, King of Westeros, asks his old friend Eddard Stark to become Hand of the King following the mysterious death of the previous incumbent. Ned accepts, but becomes concerned for the safety of his family when he learns that Queen Cersei has been sleeping with her twin brother, Ser Jaime Lannister. Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea in Essos: Viserys Targaryen schemes to regain his father’s throne; Jon Snow joins the Night’s Watch as a deserter from Winterfell; and Daenerys flees death threats against herself and her unborn child Stark forces Catelyn to release Jaime, and Tyrion Lannister is captured on his way to the Wall.
What difficulties do they face ?
Winter is coming, and with it the White Walkers, a supernatural threat which has not been seen for many years. The people of Westeros are unprepared for this new danger, and those in the know are desperately trying to gather as much information about the Walkers as possible so that they can be stopped. In addition to the White Walkers, the Seven Kingdoms are in a state of political unrest. Joffrey Baratheon is young and inexperienced, and his advisers are vying for control over him.
Robb Stark has declared himself King in the North, and is gathering troops to fight against the Lannisters. The Tyrells are plotting to take advantage of the situation and gain power. Arya Stark has escaped from King’s Landing and is on the run, hiding in a temple. Her direwolf Nymeria is protecting her but may be killed by some of Joffrey Baratheon’s soldiers who are searching for them.
Who is the antagonist ?
The antagonists of Game of Thrones are the White Walkers. They have already crossed over into Westeros, and are moving south towards Winterfell to destroy it before advancing on King’s Landing. The Night Watch is trying to stop them, but this may be difficult due to their lack of resources in comparison to the army that they face.
The Lannisters are also antagonists, as they are trying to hold on to power. Cersei Lannister is now Queen, and her son Joffrey is the King. She has many enemies, however, and it remains to be seen how long she will be able to hold on to power.
How is the ending ?
The great thing about this TV show is that it doesn’t focus on the ending. It focuses more on the journey of its characters, and how they cope with things as they go along. This gives viewers a chance to get emotionally invested in what happens next, instead of knowing exactly what will happen due to spoilers or previous books/seasons.
Which is the best scene in the series ?
The best scene in the series is when Ned Stark was beheaded. The execution itself, and what happened afterward, were both very powerful scenes that really stuck with viewers afterwards.
What are some of your favourite characters ?
Some of my favourite characters include Tyrion Lannister and Daenerys Targaryen . They have interesting personalities that make them very likable.
