Topic > Game of Thrones: Rise of the Mother of Dragons

The Game of Thrones series is loved by countless people across the nation, and one of the most beloved characters is Daenerys Targaryen. She and her brother Viserys are related to the "Mad King", who once ruled the country, but after he was killed they were exiled. Now they try to regain the throne by building an army. Although she started out as a meek little girl who always did what she was told, she quickly evolved into a rather complex character. Not only did it greatly influence the Dothraki people, a tribe of mounted warriors, but it could also decide the fate of Westeros itself. This article intends to use psychoanalysis to analyze Daenerys Targaryen and analyze how Daenerys and Khal Drago, the leader of the Dothraki, as well as the Dothraki people, influenced each other from a cultural point of view. This essay will show how she changed the lives of everyone around her, for better or worse, and how she became the "Mother of Dragons", both physically and mentally. Psychoanalysis is used to examine a character's character: what makes them tick, why they do the things they do, and what their goals are. I'll use it to examine Daenerys' inner workings and how her feelings change over the course of the season, as well as how her goals change with them. I will also compare her to other female characters in how they are the same and how they are different, also contrasting her with typical female stereotypes. The article will also discuss his relationship with his brother. Overall, I will compare how she is at the beginning of the show and at the end of season 1. Cultural theory is used to look at the culture in different countries and see how they differ; it also examines how they compare to our culture. Explore how these...... middle of paper......
