Video Icon The Rules of Game of Thrones. Why Do Ned Stark and Other Characters DieClick the video for wathing

This video is about the rules of “Game of Thrones”. The video explains why Ned Stark and other characters die.

To understand why characters survive or die, for example, Ned Stark, you need to watch a TV series not as a movie, but as a game, for example, a football match. All characters are players. If you know the rules of the game, then, as when watching a football match, it becomes clear who is playing well and who is breaking the rules. Ned Stark breaks the rules. In the TV series, characters receive warnings when they violate the rules of the game, in the same way as football players receive yellow cards. A red card for a football player is removal from the field, and the death of a character is removal from the TV series. The death of Ned Stark is a removal from the game for violating the rules. Some of the basic rules of "Game of Thrones" are given in this video.

Symbols' Logic. That’s Interesting: Why Did Daenerys Go Mad and Wear a Black Dress?

Colours and objects in the TV series are symbols (egg, bone, up, down, comet, white and black colours), their meanings help to see encrypted true meaning of the TV series "Game of Thrones" and answer the question why Daenerys has gone mad and wears a black dress.

The peculiarity of the TV series is that it shows two contradictory plots at the same time: an external emotional plot creates a false opinion that Daenerys is acting correctly and will succeed, but it is more interesting to see an internal factual plot expressed by symbols, which show that Daenerys makes mistakes, so she is not moving to victory, but to defeat in the game, that is, to death. Solving symbols is semiotic analysis.

Jorah, Euron, Bran, Sansa, Catelyn Stark Broke the Rule of Survival of “Game of Thrones”: Stay Home. The Same Rule of Survival Is During a Pandemic. Let’s Compare.

Video icon Stay at HomeClick the video for wathing

You can see in this video how Jorah Mormont, Euron Greyjoy, Brandon Stark, Sansa Stark and Catelyn Stark broke one of the rules of survival in the TV series “Game of Thrones” – to stay home. As a result, Jorah was infected with greyscale, and Brandon was infected with something else.

The rule “to stay home” is formulated in the phrases of:

Sansa Stark: “There’s only one place we can go. Home”

and Euron Greyjoy: “I’m going back to my island. You should go back to yours. When winter’s over, we’ll be the only ones left alive.”

"Game of Thrones" against the pandemic is very relevant.

The rules of survival in the TV series “Game of Thrones” and during a pandemic are similar:

1. Staying at home is one of the main rules. The one who leaves home, is waiting for trouble. When the winter (the Long Night) ends, those characters who will be in their place, that is, at home, will remain alive. About a sequel of the TV series “Game of Thrones” watch the video: “Game of Thrones” Sequel: “This Isn’t the End.”

2. Washing hands is a symbol “bath” (“bathing”), that is transition to a new quality. The symbol is explained in the series of videos about Theon and Ramsay: the beginning is the video №11 “Theon Greyjoy. The Humiliation of Theon Is an Injustice or the Result of His Own Decisions?”

3. Helmet (mask, covered face) is a symbol too. Try to determine what it means. Game of Logic: What Does a Helmet Symbolize? “What Are You Doing with That on?”

This video is about stupid dreams of Sansa Stark and related symbols: moth, dragonfly, flying, pendant with a lion.

And also it is about Sansa’s relations with Joffrey and Loras.

Sansa Stark breaks the rules of the game, betrays her family, and for this she loses the direwolf Lady – her symbol of Stark - and steps on the Walk of Punishment.

Theon Greyjoy. The Humiliation of Theon Is an Injustice or the Result of His Own Decisions?

This is a first of videos about Theon Greyjoy, Ramsay (Snow) Bolton and the related characters, which explains one of the key decisions of Theon.

Theon and Ramsay: «Who I Am, Why I'm Doing This to You?»

Why George Martin and the creators of the serial show us scenes of torture of Theon Greyjoy by Ramsay Snow? A key question which should be set to yourself at the sight of Ramsay's cruelty, is voiced through him: «Who I am. Why I'm doing this to you?» The answer is in this video.

Why Has Theon Greyjoy Changed His Name to Reek? The House Greyjoy Is the House of Traitors

Video icon Why Has Theon Greyjoy Changed His Name to Reek? The House Greyjoy Is the House of TraitorsClick the video for watching

Why is it so important that Theon has ceased to consider himself a Greyjoy? Why Reek? George Martin shows that a change of a name changes also destiny of a hero. Ramsay makes Theon loyal in contrast to the House Greyjoy: Balon, Euron, Yara Greyjoy and the ironborn, whom the authors show as traitors. And there is also in the video about a symbol of Theon — a dog.

Eight Baths of Theon Greyjoy. A Bath (Bathing) Is a Symbol of Transition to a New Quality

Значок видео Eight Baths of Theon Greyjoy. A Bath (Bathing) Is a Symbol of Transition to a New QualityClick the video for watching

To show Theon's character, George Martin and the creators of the serial use a bath (a bathing) as a symbol of transition into a new quality. During six seasons the whole eight symbolical transformations happen to Theon. This is largely due to Ramsay, who shows Theon the right path, makes loyal, transfers Theon into the new quality, washing away dirt from Theon both literally, and symbolically.

A symbol of Theon Greyjoy — kraken — lives in water, that is transition into a new quality for him is a usual thing. This means that Theon is constantly changing, evolving — that's why he is such an interesting character.

There is also in this video about baths of the other Greyjoys: Balon, Euron and Yara Greyjoy. An immersion in water or a text mention of it can be considered a bath (a bathing). The circumstances under which each bath occurs, prompt us how and what change has happened. More details are in the video.

If this is the first video about Theon, which you have watched, a part of statements can be unclear to you. In this case, view a series of videos about Theon and Ramsay from the beginning.

“I’M ALIVE!” THEON GREYJOY: “WHAT IS DEAD MAY NEVER DIE”

Cover “I'm alive!” Theon Greyjoy “What Is Dead May Never Die”Click the video for watching

Could Theon Greyjoy have survived, and why Theon Greyjoy is alive

The situation with Theon Greyjoy is an example of how the authors leave a character at death's door in order to then return him to the series. This is done on the principle of "needed or not needed". The Greyjoys are traitors. Ramsay trained Theon and made him loyal. Ramsay tells Theon: “You're no good to me dead. We need you.” Therefore, Theon must be alive to become the embodiment of the words “What is dead may never die”.
