Game of Thrones is
an extremely popular television show that has aired for six seasons on HBO. “The
show is based on the epic fantasy novel series, A Song of Fire and Ice,
written by George R. R. Martin. The first novel of the seven-book series is
called A Game of Throne”. Each new season has is about the next book in
the series
In my opinion this is a
great show. There are so many details and mystery to his show that it is kind
of hard to stop watching. From the scenery to the acting the show really is a
hit. This show is not for children of the faint hearted. This show very often
have scenes that are gruesome or sexually heated. Every season is a new
adventure
The
setting of Game of Thrones takes place on the fictional or made up continents
of “Westerns “and “Essos” it would remind you of the Middle Ages. The story has
a lot of common fantasy features, like swordplay, magic, and fictional
creatures like dragons, those features are downplayed a lot to not distract
from the human interactions and storyline. The show has three core storylines
of the book series.
“The first is the
continuing civil war between the various houses of Westeros, each vying
for the Iron Throne and control of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros — hence, the
name Game of Thrones. The three principle houses involved in this civil
war are the Starks of Winterfell, the Lannisters of Casterly Rock, and the
Baratheons of Dragonstone. At the start of the series, the Baratheons control
the Iron Throne. However, with the death of King Robert Baratheon, the
Lannisters seize power when Robert’s wife Cersei Lannister becomes queen-regent
after her son assumes the throne; Cersei’s brother, Tyrion Lannister,
becomes their chief advisor. After that, many of the other houses rise up to
fight Lannister control and claim their own right to the Iron Throne.
The second storyline
takes place in Essos, a harsh land of mostly desert. Daenerys Targaryen,
the exiled daughter and last surviving heir to House Targaryen (which used to
rule the Seven Kingdoms before the Baratheons came to power), seeks to build an
army and return to Westeros to reclaim the Iron Throne. At first sold into
marriage to the Dothraki tribal leader Khal Drogo by her older brother (who was
later killed), Daenerys has become a powerful queen and has in her possession
three dragons — a species thought instinct since the rule of the Targaryens.
With her dragons and the massive army she’s building, Daenerys plans to cross
the Narrow Sea, which separates the two continents, and defeat those who
deposed and killed her father.
The third storyline
takes place in the Northern part of Westeros at the massive ice structure
called the Wall, which protects the southern lands from the “wildling” humans
and supernatural creatures (such as White Walkers) that live “beyond the Wall.” Jon
Snow, the illegitimate son of Ned Stark (head of House Stark) enlists with the
Night’s Watch, the small army stationed at the Wall that is charged with
protecting the southern lands. With the approach of a long winter, the Wall and
the Night’s Watch are under siege from wildling invaders who seek to overtake
the Seven Kingdoms. What’s happening at the Wall is mostly unknown to the rest
of Westeros, and the peoples of the Seven Kingdoms are unprepared for the
coming threat.”
