I confess I am a fan of the Game of Thrones television\nseries. I recently re-watched the entire series from the beginning because I\nfinally convinced my significant other it was worth the watch \ud83d\ude09 It was cool to\nwatch it from the start knowing what\u2019s happened so far. I also caught some\nthings that I missed the first time around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I feel like there are 2 major themes in the series that I thought would be fun to share and chat about. Here they are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trust no one<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Okay, this may seem pretty pessimistic and I probably could\nhave said the theme was Don\u2019t take people at their word<\/em><\/strong> but\nI thought Trust no one<\/em><\/strong> was more succinct \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n Seriously, how much backstabbing has happened in the past seven seasons? It\u2019s been non-stop betrayal since the first season and it makes you suspicious of even the most unassuming characters. At this point, you can\u2019t even trust the writers because the more you love a character; the more likely they are to die a tragic death. Though, I have to admit, the characters that you were waiting to get theirs died in pretty unkind ways as well. I would mention names, but I\u2019m trying not to spoil it for anyone reading this who hasn\u2019t watched the series yet and may one day decide to check it out \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n Never underestimate\nwhat a woman can do<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I love this lesson because I feel like it\u2019s a life lesson,\nbut I may have a personal bias \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Again, I don\u2019t want to spoil anything for anyone who hasn\u2019t\nwatched. Those of you who have been watching know what I\u2019m talking about. The\nfemale characters in this series are strong both mentally and physically yet\ntheir knowledge and strength seem to be underestimated by many of their male\ncounterparts. By the time the guys finally catch on to what\u2019s going on, it\u2019s\noften too late for them to do anything about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I feel like George R.R. Martin must have had a lot of\nexperience seeing women not get enough credit for their abilities. I love that\neven the characters that go through some pretty awful things manage to get\nthrough it stronger for the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As much as some may not like the graphic sex, violence and\nlanguage of the show, I can get past it because I see so many lessons and\nmessages around forgiveness, shifting perspective and other life lessons. Who\nknows? Maybe I\u2019m just a crazy fan justifying why I enjoy this show so much! \ud83d\ude2e<\/p>\n\n\n\n What do you think? Are there any themes or lessons that you\u2019ve picked up on from the series?
