One of Rhaenyra's symbols is a Rat

In the fourth episode of “House of the Dragon” there are symbols that predict the death of Rhaenyra Targaryen and show exactly how Rhaenyra will die: a rat in the dragon's mouth and a toothy dragon.

The Citadel lantern highlights the symbols in the series “Game of Thrones”.

Rhaenyra goes downwards to meet Daemon.

Downward movement is a symbol of wrong actions.

At the same time, a rat is shown.

A rat is a symbol of lustfulness.

With the symbols downward movement and the rat, the authors show in advance that Rhaenyra is heading towards vice – to the pleasure house.

The authors also give the rat symbol to Rhaenyra by the text:

Daemon: “Four coppers, street Rat. In King’s Landing we pay for our pleasures.”

“We pay for our pleasures” – this is the rule of the game.

In the same episode, it is shown how Rhaenyra will pay for the pleasures.

Firstly, the rat is sitting in the dragon's mouth.

And secondly, Rhaenyra is being asked a question:

“Do you wish to know your death, child?”

And as an answer, they show the toothy dragon again.

Joffrey: “Rhaenyra Targaryen was murdered by her brother, or rather, his dragon. It ate her while her son watched. What’s left of her is buried in the crypts right down there”.

Rats are cunning, tenacious, lustful and prolific animals. Rhaenyra possesses these traits.

The rat in the king's chambers and the rat that drinks blood – a symbol of royalty, show that Viserys, despite all the offenses and depravity, will leave the rat Rhaenyra the heir to the throne.

They don't like rats.

“But would she make a powerful queen, or would she be feeble?” - “Feeble!”

Rhaenyra: “Their wants are of no consequence” - Daemon: “They are of great consequence if you expect to rule them one day.”

In this scene, the authors compare Rhaenyra to Cersei:

Cersei: “(Laughs) The people. You think I care?” – Tyrion: “You might find it difficult to rule over millions who want you dead.”

Sooner or later, the rats get trapped.

Daemon: “You’re one of Aegon’s ratcaptures… You must be busy. That castle positively crawls with them now.”

Helaena: “I’m afraid… Not the dragons. The rats.”

Aegon: “The queen is an enduring mystery.”

What kind of rats is Helaena afraid of?
