Next, I will comment on the character Joffrey in the play. He has a eccentric temperament and acts weird. I even think he is abnormal since he was a child. It is impossible to guarantee that it is not coddling and power that cause his distorted values.
Every child is an angel. This statement is just talk, or it means that every child comes to the world like a pure angel, because they are like a blank sheet of paper that has not been dyed with any color. Born into a royal family, he has no worries about food and clothing, and of course he doesn't know what suffering is.
Take a look at Jon Snow , who is in the status of an illegitimate child. He has learned to observe color and color since he was a child. As for Joffrey, who is a prince, I am afraid that only others can see his face and act. Coupled with a mother like Cersei, it seems normal to not understand and respect others. Calling "The Hound" Sandor Clegane as "my dog"; interviewing Winterfell , verbally stimulating Robb on the training ground; having no sympathy for Bran who fell into a coma from the castle , after being educated by the little devil, he was ignorant and even got slapped in the face; Cersei had agreed to Varys' suggestion to send Ed to the Great Wall, but he temporarily asked to kill Ed and put his head on the spear, Hanging at the top of the city; wanting to dedicate Robb's head to Sansa... can't enumerate all the misdeeds of this freak.
The doting of parents is only one aspect. There are many children in the world who are doted on by their parents, but few children are born princes. The erosion of power is probably more important to Joffrey. I use the word "erosion" because power is a corrosive agent, a drug.
's absolute power leads to absolute corruption. These are all proven truths and need no further explanation. It's absurd that something like Joffrey thinks the king is supreme. No one is supreme, and there are laws above kings.
I read a little "Wanli Fifteen Years" some time ago. I saw that the emperor was subject to various constraints, and the ministers restricted and opposed the emperor's establishment of the reserve. Only then did he realize that the emperor was so embarrassed. Where is the supreme power, it is clearly defined by rules and regulations Layers of bondage to imperial power. The imperial power is still like this, then the prime minister, president, and chairman of a modern country should exercise power under the law. The former British Prime Minister Cameron resigned because of the Brexit referendum, and Aunt May also resigned, and then the golden retriever Johnson also resigned, and the United States elects a president every four years. On the same earth, the British and American systems have certain advantages. Whether it is worth learning from, I am afraid that we cannot discuss such issues now, and there is no practical significance.
In the name of "the people", we seem to be doing everything right, except for the slogan that reminds men to urinate, such as "one small step forward, one giant leap of civilization", the other slogans on the streets must be Shenzhou A landscape of the earth. In fact, this is not a high-level thing. Urinating is something that should be learned in kindergarten. Should I remind adult men not to urinate their crotch? ! I won't mention other slogans, which are similar to the station slogans, but they look more confusing. I feel deep sadness for this nation, and even feel that it is more “practical” to post more advertisements about Kato Taka’s “violent growth and thickening” (Note: If you read this small article rashly and have never heard of this character, You can search by yourself, and I won't do any introduction here). Disclaimer, I do not advocate posting all over the street, otherwise the effect will be "hehe". The power of
is dangerous. Those who hold the scepter and have the power of life and death, and control the wealth, life and death of others. It seems supreme, but it also brings incomparable danger to themselves. Joffrey thinks "dogs" like sandor clegane will always listen to themselves, think the king's orders have absolute power and never realize the sinister power behind it, was poisoned on his wedding day , is made by himself. Old Rose and Littlefinger have their own motives, but they do a great thing. No power is eternal, the conspiracy behind power is like a surging wave, and no one knows what will happen tomorrow.
"Grass snake gray line, Fu Yan Qian Li" (show my new idiom), it is said that the third part of the novel revealed that Joffrey was the mastermind behind the assassination of Bran. Because his dad Robert said death was kind to Bran, Joffrey ChongWorship Dad, want to put Dad's ideas into action, so hire murderers to kill. I stole a gem-encrusted keel dagger from my father, prepared a few golden deer, and then found a not-so-reliable killer. It seemed like it was done (my guesswork here).
I have always felt that this dagger is too ostentatious. It does not require such a fancy tool to kill. What is the difference between an ordinary dagger and a gem-encrusted keel dagger? ! While watching season 1, I thought it was Cersei and james who arranged the assassination of Bran, both of them had enough motivation, but this dagger seemed a little too ill-conceived.
never thought that it was arranged by Joffrey. Mr. Martin's tactics were too ruthless, and he buried the foreshadowing so deeply. Looking back, I realized that there are reasonable factors hidden in the unreasonable. Perhaps the two slaps from the little devil also played a certain stimulating effect. It was because Bran suffered, so Joffrey also had an impact on Bran hatred. Of course, something that can be done with a few golden deer is not a big deal in his eyes.
One more weird thing about the dagger, Littlefinger claimed he was the owner of the dagger and lost to the little devil in the Tournament. If this is a lie, then a new question arises: who did
lose to Littlefinger? Is it the king? Joffrey steals from his father again, or it may not necessarily be "stealing", it is all his own things;
Second, why did Littlefinger frame the little devil? It stands to reason that he didn't know about the assassination of Bran and the failure, and he only knew about it when Varys the eight-clawed spider mentioned the dagger in the brothel. It seems far-fetched to decide to put the blame on someone in a few sentences.
Let's see how the old man finally rounds the scene in the book. With such a huge story structure and complicated character relationships, this dagger is an important prop. Let's see if there are any clues in the future.
