Game of Thrones greatest EVIL shock: THIS is why Daenerys could NEVER win from the start
GAME OF THRONES has one ultimate evil, but it is not The Night King, nor is it Daenerys or even Cersei. The clues lie in George RR Martin's great love for Tolkien's Lord of the Rings which also confirm that Daenerys could NEVER have won, right from the very beginning.
Many fans were not convinced by Daenerys' rather abrupt descent into full-on maniacal zealot and city-burning baddie. The Night King was pretty scary but he was simply doing what he was created to do by the Children of the Forest. Cersei was magnificently monstrous but she was a product of her upbringing and the frustrations of being trapped by her gender. Ultimately, there was one thing much worse, and it is yet another idea George RR Martin pretty much lifted from Lord of the Rings.
This is the true message of Game of Thrones and this is why Daenerys was never going to end up on top in Martin's morality play.
Numerous fans have drawn the parallels between stoic Jon Snow and bumbling Samwell Tarly or stoic Frodo and bumbling Samwise Gamgee. But Jon is also the hidden heir to a great dynasty Aegon, who echoes Aragorn in more than just name.
The similarities go on but ultimately rest on the greatest one of all.
The most evil thing in all of Westeros and beyond is actually the Iron Throne, which is the Song of Ice and Fire version of the One Ring. This is why it has to be destroyed, melted by Drogon in a blatant parallel to the One Ring in the fires of Mount Doom.
Furthermore, it is not just what they represent, it is the way each character relates to them which determines their ultimate fate. Daenerys had to die in the end because of the way she saw the Iron Throne and what she was prepared to do to win it.
Everything rests on free will and choice.
The minute Daenerys declares "I will take what is mine, with fire and blood!" her doom is already in play. In fact, it was in play all along, rooted in her belief in her right to rule. When she takes the Iron Throne with force and bloodshed, her fate is sealed.
Compare this with Galadriel, when Frodo offers her the ring: "In place of the Dark Lord you will set up a Queen. And I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning! Stronger than the foundations of the earth. All shall love me and despair!"
This could be a description of Daenerys, except the elf resists: “I pass the test”, she said. “I will diminish, and go into the West and remain Galadriel.”
Daenerys does not and so she loses herself and, ultimately, her life.

Τα twist όπως ο κόκκινος γάμος έχουν το αντίκτυπο που έχουν γιατί είναι καλογραμμένα, υπο την έννοια ότι είναι προβλέψιμα μόνο κατόπιν εορτής.
