“Game Of Thrones”: Major Spoiler Alert
As “Game of Thrones” continues so it becomes increasingly obvious that the characters are divided between those who understand the true cost of war – Robb, Catelyn, Arya, Tyrion, Tywin – and those who still see it as a game: chief among them Theon, Cersei and Joffrey. Thus while Tyrion instantly understood the need to secure Sansa’s safety, Joffrey lost his head and started calling for those of his subjects. It’s arguable too that Dany has yet to progress beyond: “I’m a Targaryen, I am blood of the dragon, the Iron Throne belongs to me”, which is the same argument Viserys used.
