Re: If “Game Of Thrones” Characters Were On Shaadi.com
You’re superficially judging her character. Sure, i agree, from the very beginning her main aim has been to get married but she grew up in that environment. I’ve read the first book and Martin describes her character very interestingly. Her submission to Joeffry in the show is only a mechanism of self preservation. She saw what happened to the rest of her family and she was only trying to prolong her life or make the most of it (like women in domestic abuse hardly ever report the crime, it’s a mechanism of self preservation, being in denial).
As for Arya, yes, i agree, she’s a brilliant character, strong and independent and knows what she wants. I see myself in her on some days and some days i’m like hell no would i ever do that. For example, now with the many faced Gods, he’s allowing her and making her turn into something that’s not really her. She’s swaped her boyish clothes for the girly frocks. She let her hair grow out so she could “fit in” to what he want her like. Albiet there is an agenda behind it, but again, so much for being independant.
Again, it’s easy to judge the characters earlier on but i think kinda really understanding them from the author’s perspective helps. As for cereal time, i enjoy mine while watching Cersai in jail. I quite enjoyed that one.
