But the ending…

Worldview: An exquisite fusion of medieval fantasy and reality.

Game of Thrones is based on George R.R. Martin’s novels A Song of Ice and Fire and is set on two continents, Westeros and Essos.

* Medieval Setting: The series centers around a system of kingdoms and nobility inspired by medieval Europe.

The Seven Kingdoms of Westeros each have their own distinct culture and political identity, and display elements similar to real-world historical events.

* Harmony of realism and fantasy: The drama emphasizes realism while also appropriately incorporating fantasy elements such as dragons, White Walkers (undead), and magic, thereby crossing the line between reality and the surreal.

Topic: Power, Betrayal, and Human Nature

The nature of power

At the heart of the drama is the struggle for power, its maintenance, and the sacrifices that come with it.

The fight for the Iron Throne goes beyond mere political play to explore human desire and instinct.

The characters act beyond moral boundaries in order to gain power, showing how power corrupts people.

Betrayal and shocking twists
