Recently, the prequel "Dragon Family" of the American drama " Game of Thrones " began to be broadcast. At the beginning, due to the unfinished end of Game of Thrones, plus some trailers and posters released by the previous crew, it was revealed that the casting of the actors was not satisfactory. So when I first watched this drama, I was looking for the slot. As a result, after watching the first 4 episodes, I decided to turn to fans. Although the actors in this drama are indeed not good-looking, their acting skills are quite online, and their grasp of the characters' psychology is also in place. Today I will try to analyze it. One of the more puzzling plots in the first 4 episodes is why Dimon suddenly stopped at a critical moment after seducing Lenila. I believe that many of my friends, like me, could not understand this abrupt plot at the beginning. This is also a mystery left in the original book. Why was Damon suddenly expelled from King's Landing, and Rhaenyra suddenly turned against Kingsguard Christon Cole. The answer was given in the play, but the reason was not answered. . I will try to analyze the reasons behind it from the perspective of my understanding.
Synopsis: After defeating the crab feeders supported by the "Three Sisters" on the Stepped Islands, Damon proclaims himself the king of the narrow sea. At this time, Rhineira was on a tour of the country, interviewing suitors from the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms. However, Daemon suddenly returned to King's Landing and presented his crown to his brother King Viserys, expressing his submission to the Iron Throne . Later, when Lenila went back to the bedroom to rest at night, she saw a package and a map of the secret passage of the Red Fort, and then she disguised herself and walked out of the Red Fort along the secret passage, and met her uncle Damon. Damon took her to experience the nightlife of King's Landing, juggling, drama, etc., and finally took her to a brothel. Under the stimulation of visual senses, Rhae Nila became horny, and the two of them took off their pants, ready to stage a tagg. When the Li'an family's uncle and nephew were having sex, Dimon suddenly stopped and left. The horny Rhaenyra returned to the Red Keep and directly seduced her bodyguard, Christon Cole, so that Princess Rhaenyla's chastity was given to Cole. The next morning, Prime Minister Otto Hightower, who had been secretly guarded by the informant, reported the matter to King Viserys. Viserys was outraged and expelled Daemon from King's Landing and demanded that he return to his wife in the Valley. Reinilla was reprimanded to stop letting her choose her own husband and to accept his arranged marriage.
So the question is, why would Dimon seduce Rhaenyra and tarnish his own niece's reputation as the heir to the Iron Throne? The answer to my analysis is that it was all planned by Damon and the Sea Serpent (Collis Valerian), who had formed a political alliance at this point. Sea Snake has always had ambitions for the Iron Throne, from the deprivation of his wife and son's inheritance, to the rejection of his proposal to marry Viserys, but he has never given up. After defeating the Crab Feeder with Daemon, the Valerian family's power has been further enhanced, so he must hope to further enhance his political status, and the best choice at this time is to let his son Lanino marry the heir to the Iron Throne Rhinera . But Rhaenyra willfully wants to choose her own husband, and Lannino certainly can't get into Rhaenyla's eyes (Rannino is gay in the book, black in the play). And lured Lenila through Damon, tarnished her reputation, and then bribed some people in the North to blow wind to Viserys, forcing Lenina to marry Lannino. So what is the evidence for such speculation? There are three points in the play to support this point of view. First, Dimon's action is enough. Some people say that this is because the uncle's conscience found that he does not want to defile his niece. Thinking about the environment at that time, it can be said that in the public, the actions of the two have already defiled Lei. Nila's reputation is gone, and they are both Targaryens, incest is normal to everyone, so it is planned in advance, Sea Snake does not want his future daughter-in-law to be taken away by Damon; the second is to report to the Prime Minister. It was the white maggots who reported this to Otto, Daemon's lover, and Daemon was with her. Obviously, it was Daemon who deliberately leaked the seduction of Rhaenyra to Otto and asked him to inform the king; Third, when Viserys questioned Dimon, Dimon did not defend at all, but accepted the accusation in full, and admitted that he had a relationship with Rhaenyla, which never happened. So this is all designed, the purpose is to force Viserys and Rhaenyra through this incident, and let Rhaenyla marry Lannino.
However, beyond the plans of Sea Snake and Dimon, Rhae Nila's desire was too strong. After Daemon was not satisfied, she went back and directly seduced the Kingsman Cole. In the end, the virginity of Sea Snake's daughter-in-law could not be kept.
In fact, the most interesting scene of the whole episode 4 is the first scene, where Rhae Nila interviews the young suitor of the Blackwood family, but a second-hand from the Bracken family has been sneering and ridiculed, and finally annoyed the teenager of the Blackwood family. The two sides drew their swords against each other, and in less than two rounds, Bracken was killed and fell to the ground. And this teenager from the Blackwood family should have been adapted in the play, integrating Samwell Blackwood and his son Benjiko Blackwood, known as "Blood". In the future, this teenager will have more characters in the play. important scene.
