Khal Drogo and Daenerys Targaryen- Love Story or Stockholm Syndrome?

Image
Let me preface this with, I love both Khal Drogo and Daenerys as characters. I think they both have unique personalities and of all the plot lines you have to keep straight during the first season, theirs is the easiest and most entertaining (it may also help that Jason Momoa is pretty easy on the eyes).  So now that I have shown you a lovely photo of Jason Momoa killing it as Khal Drogo- lets get to the part you may not like. He’s trash for the first part of season one. I know I know I just told you that I love his charcter but you can blame the adaption from book to the small screen for this statement. Khal Drogo bought Daenerys…he bought her. I think its hard to come back from that but arranged marriages still happen in todays time so while that part is horrible, I can kinda see it being reddemable based solely on the fact that it was the “norm” of society. The rape scene in the show though…trash. I just want to know how many women were helping make the adaption and were like ‘y...

Ned Stark: The Honorable Fool, Lawful Stupid

Image
I am new to Game of Thrones . When I started reading the first book and saw the opening of the show, I love, loved the first words spoken by that man, “The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword.” So heroic! I wondered who the dude wearing fur with the heavy beard was. I found out who he was. It was Ned Stark. Lord of Winterfell. Warden of the North. A great Father. A loving husband. A justifiable and honorable man. Men like him are rare. He meets all the Prince characteristics that Disney displays in their movies. Trust me. I know. I grew up with Disney movies. That strong opening line made me immediately think and feel, “Oh yea, there’s a hero.” Ned Stark is a rustic, chivalrous man, a true knight in shining armor. In the first episode, it is clear that he has a happy life with his family. In the book, Game of Thrones and Philosophy, Irwin and Jacoby describe Ned’s life in the North: “Remaining steadfast in his commitment to honor and virtue…he spent decades in a lo...

Ned Stark: The Honorable Lord of Winterfell

Myles Davis UNIV 375 400 Sept 21, 2020 Ned Stark: The Honorable Lord of Winterfell To be an honorable person is best described as someone that will always take the high road never going low.  Someone that will always seek out the truth even when everyone else is telling him lies.  Someone that fights for the good and innocent even when they are surrounded by evil and the guilty.  To be an honorable person you would have to be like Ned Stark, a man so honorable that he was killed trying to do what he thought was right for his kingdom.  A man who wanted to stop at nothing to uncover the truth about the death of a dearly beloved friend.  Despite what most people believe I think that Ned Stark was a very honorable man and maybe one of the most honorable in the show. Eddard stark, or Ned was the previous lord of Winterfell until he left for Kingslanding to be the new Hand of the king and the head of the Stark house.  While ruling he...
