#WHERE WE SAW EACH GAME OF THRONES CHARACTER LIST FREE#
Now that the show is wrapping up, even those five "safe" characters aren't really safe anymore.įeel free to hold onto those last few strands of hope, though, if it's the only thing that will keep you from sinking into a vast chasm of despair. Well unfortunately, those days of comfort and security have finally come to an end. So if you read and memorized that list, it's probably helped stop you from dying of anxiety every time you watch a new episode of Game of Thrones. According to Business Insider, those characters are Daenerys Targaryen, Tyrion Lannister, Arya Stark, Jon Snow, and Ned Stark. We might not ever agree with her methods, but we at least have to agree with her motives.Įxcept, if you did any frantic Googling after the Red Wedding, you probably learned that there are five characters in particular that George R.R. But under all that, what she really wants is to save Westeros, and in order to do that she's willing to make terrible sacrifices. Melisandre is scary and powerful, ruthless and cruel, but she's also ancient, and she probably loses a little bit of her humanity with every passing century. That certainly qualifies as a "right reason," although really, Melisandre, there wasn't a better way? Really? Some have even called Melisandre " the real hero in Game of Thrones." When she burns young Shireen it's because she genuinely believes her actions will help save Westeros from the army of the dead and the White Walkers. Anyway, completely evil characters are boring and tired (sorry Voldemort), while complicated characters who do evil things but believe they're doing them for the right reasons are infinitely more interesting. But just because Melisandre sometimes does evil things doesn't necessarily mean she's evil. Mental health counselor Colleen Jordan told MTV that her behavior after that more closely resembles someone with PTSD who is "stuck in survival mode." She's a fine little assassin, but that doesn't necessarily mean she's an empathy-lacking sociopath who won't ever love again. Arya didn't develop her murderous personality until after she witnessed her father's execution. If you look at her before the death of her father, she's just a regular kid who gets into trouble but clearly adores her brother (Jon), respects her father, and maybe doesn't like Sansa very much but at that point no one really liked Sansa. Most sociopaths are unable to love and trust, and they never form attachments.Īrya doesn't fit this mold. But is she?Īccording to Psychology Today, modern research suggests sociopaths aren't necessarily "born that way" but may be predisposed to becoming sociopaths. We have yet to actually learn what's behind her apparent immunity to the flames - whether it's some kind of magic, a bond with her dragons, or what - but it's certainly not an "all-Targaryens" thing.Īrya's merciless acts of violence don't seem to trouble her in any way, which has led a lot of fans to speculate that she's a sociopath. But that's hardly the same thing as walking into a fire and emerging unscathed. On the other hand, Daenerys herself, at least on the HBO series, does appear to have some tolerance to heat - we saw this very early on when her maid warned her against getting into a too-hot bathtub and she did it anyway. But her brother sure as hell wasn't immune to that molten gold." She is called The Unburnt because she walked into the flames and lived. "The birth of Dany's dragons was unique, magical, wondrous, a miracle. "Targaryens are not immune to fire!" According to Time, George himself typed these words in all-caps during a fan chat in 1999. Then, a few seasons later, she did it again, emerging naked from the fiery remains of the temple of the Dosh Khaleen, thus confirming what we already knew: Targaryens are immune to fire. Here are some of biggest things you've probably been getting wrong about Game of Thrones. Game of Thrones is a huge show and it loves being mysterious, so even an uber fan can sometimes be guilty of believing GoT myths and making incorrect assumptions about characters. Martin also occasionally makes us confused. He may look like Santa Claus, kids, but he's the Jolly Saint Nick of death and despair.īesides making us very, very sad, George R.R. Because as much as we'd all like to believe that our favorite Game of Thrones characters will triumph and Cersei Lannister will finally get what she deserves, we also understand that George R.R.F. No other human being possesses the absolute, supreme ability to ruin your day and if we're being honest, the entire month of May. Who is the person in your life who has the most influence on your mental health? You? Your boss? Your significant other? Your children? No! It's George R.R.
