has awaited fans all over the world, and the final season of the epic American drama "Game of Thrones" is finally about to start. This epic drama series adapted from the novel "A Song of Ice and Fire" written by George Raymond Richard Martin is not only known as the pinnacle of contemporary film and television creation, its vast and complex worldview and the Seven Kingdoms The disputes between the clutches and the reunion, more obviously drew a lot of inspiration from historical records.
Dunn’s Castle in central Scotland is one of the filming locations for this show. It used to be the base of the famous Stuart family in Scotland. In fact, the work is also closely related to Scottish history. At that time, the nobles were fighting for the throne, and the major families were in constant civil strife. In addition to referring to the Rose War between Lancaster and York in the 15th century, the story also has a deeper connection with the long-term civil strife in Scotland.
The bloody wars of the descendants of the nobles, the revenge between the families, "Game of Thrones" shows the bloodthirsty of men, but the female characters in the play are not inferior to the men. They are also cold-blooded and very personal.
As one of the protagonists of "Game of Thrones", Sansa Stark has gradually become a strong and shrewd female leader from an ignorant girl who dreams of marrying the crown prince.
In the history of Scotland, it is not uncommon for women to actively participate in bloody infighting. One of the best is Henrietta Stewart of the Stewart family. This scheming figure who is good at manipulating the politics of the Scottish harem coincides with the "High Court Rose" Margaret Tyrell in "Game of Thrones". In the story of
, Marguerite knows how to use her charm to protect her family status through diplomacy. For example, she once encouraged Ansha to marry her brother Loras Tyrell. Although this political marriage used to strengthen the northern power did not come true, in 16th century Scotland, Henrietta Stewart was in her The same strategy was indeed used in the family battle, but she succeeded.
in the struggle between Henrietta's husband George Gordon and James Stewart (although they are both called Stewart, but not the same family), she once again demonstrated superb political skills. In December 1590, George and James were in Edinburgh, and the two sides had a strong smell of gunpowder, and they were ready to fight. However, Rietta used her friendship with Queen Anne of Denmark to successfully persuade Queen Anne’s husband, King James VI of Scotland, to intervene and reach an agreement. Not only did she prevent her husband George’s territory from being attacked, but also gave her family a strategic advantage. . Henrietta shows how women's wit can play a leading role in tight fighting relationships.
In "Game of Thrones", Sansa Stark's mother Caitlin Stark is a tragic woman with a bleak evening scene. After her husband Ned Stark was killed, as the family collapsed, she spent the rest of her life, vowing to take all revenge, including summoning an army to commit a crime, and hating the Lannister family who framed her husband.
Similarly, in 16th-century Scotland, Caitlin Stark’s role prototype, Agnie Skith, was full of emotions after her husband James Turt was killed by George Gordon. Resentment, terrible revenge and nuisance behavior against his family, especially in the fight for fishing rights in the Spey River, has been having trouble with the enemy.
Agni Skeith's style, like Caitlin, firmly demonstrated the bravery of the widow. After the death of their husband, they have nothing to shrink. Although they ended in failure, both women proved by their actions that in the eyes of their enemies, they are always a lingering threat.
Looking at the many female characters in "Game of Thrones", the most luminous representative is the queen dowager Cersei Lannister who listens to politics in the world. However, under his insidious political desire, he eventually lost the lives of his biological sons Robert and Toman.
Cersei Lannister’s experience is in fact exactly the same as the family vendetta in Scotland in 1567. At that time, due to the discord between the two major families, Isobel Sinclair poisoned the Earl of Sutherland and his wife in Helmsdale. mostLater, her ending was almost similar to that of Circe in "Game of Thrones". While eradicating dissidents, Isobel accidentally poisoned her two sons.
Circe and Isobel are both females, but they are both vicious-hearted careerists. In order to fight for family benefits and power, they use all means. As the price of plotting, they also lose out and lose their biological children.
It is precisely because of his familiarity with the history of Scotland and England that George Raymond Richard Martin wrote the famous "Song of Ice and Fire". Literary works are often derived from history, just like Mr. Jin Yong's Like works, almost every work is related to history. It seems that reading more is a very important thing!
