This study analyses Daenerys‟ leadership traits and how Daenerys breaks gender stereotypes through her changing characteristics as seen in Geroge R.R. Martin‟s Game of Thrones. This television series tells about Daenerys Targaryen, who wants to take back the iron throne that owned by her father. Daenerys‟s leadership‟s traits and Daenerys‟ changing characteristics represent some good examples of breaking traditional gender stereotypes in society. Hence, this study focuses on how Danerys Targaryen‟s leadership is reflected in the story and how Daenerys break traditional gender stereotype through her changing characteristics. The aim of this study is to answer two research questions: (1) “How is Daenerys‟ leadership presented in Game of Thrones?” and (2) “What actions are the representation of breaking gender stereotypes that are shown by Daenerys‟ changing characteristics?” The researcher uses feminist approach to analyze this study. Through feminist approach, the researcher sees women‟s struggle to fight for their rights to become equal to men. In conducting the analysis, the researcher used library research to collect the data. The main data was the movie scripts and the secondary data were gathered from related books, journals, and the internet. There were two main steps in analyzing this research.

Studi ini menganalisa sifat-sifat kepemimpinan Daenerys dan bagaimana ia mematahkan stereotip gender melalui perubahan-perubahan karakternya yang dapat dilihat dari serial televisi Game of Thrones. Serial televisi ini menceritakan tentang Daenerys Targaryen yang ingin merebut kembali tahta besi yang dulu dimiliki oleh ayahnya. Sifat-sifat kepemimpinan Daenerys dan perubahan karakteristik Daenerys adalah beberapa contoh untuk memecahkan stereotip gender di masyarakat.

Content warning: Spoilers ahead Washington, DC, April 25, 2019 – Samwell Tarly may have been safe after killing a White Walker and stealing books from the Citadel, but volunteering for the Night’s Watch during the upcoming Battle of Winterfell may be the nail in the coffin for this beloved character.

  • Love Enthroned
    Love Enthroned Author(s): Steele, Daniel (1824-1914) Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: Daniel Steele firmly agreed with John Wesley that Christians can and should live a life free of voluntary sin. This striving towards perfection of faith became known as the ªHoliness Movement.º Originally a Methodist/Wesleyan phenomenon, the movement came to have profound effects on later Pentecostal and evangelical Christian communities. This work lays out the doctrine of sanctification, and urges readers to seek further sanctification in everyday life. Because Steele shares his own personal testimony of his faith, the book takes on a decidedly more intimate and relatable nature.

  • 4. 'I AM YOUR KING': Authority in Game of Thrones
    4. ‘I AM YOUR KING’: Authority in Game of Thrones Introduction Game of Thrones (hereafter GoT, 2011–), a quasi-mediaeval fantasy series based on George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire (ASOAIF, 1996-), has a significant impact on contemporary pop culture. With an average viewership of 18.4 million per episode, at the peak of its popularity, GoT claims the record for the most-watched TV show in the history of the HBO Network (Beaumont-Thomas 2014). The show and cast have received several prestigious awards, including the Peabody Award 2012, three Hugo Awards for Best Dramatic Presentation in short and long forms, and a total of ten Emmys to date. Like Sherlock, its active and productive fandom spans most social media sites, in addition to the major fanfiction archives. Set in the imagined world of Westeros and Essos, the series charts the feuds and struggles of several powerful families over the Iron Throne, seat of the hereditary monarchy that unifies the seven so-called kingdoms of Westeros. At the outset, the old Targaryen dynasty has been overthrown in a bloody rebellion, and the new Baratheon dynasty is in crisis, plagued by accusations of incest and illegitimacy. Murder, conspiracy and betrayal are the currency of the day amongst the nobility, whilst the hungry, war-torn commons pose an increasing threat to the political structure. It might be argued, then, central problem in GoT is power and authority—who can and should rule Westeros? What gives anyone the right? As Richard Cor- rigan puts it, ‘the question of who is the “legitimate authority” in the Seven Kingdoms […] is of crucial importance’ (2012, p.

  • A Third of Americans Think Jon Snow Should Sit on the Iron Throne
    A Third of Americans Think Jon Snow Should Sit on the Iron Throne Game of Thrones Pre-Season Predictions Washington, DC, April 10, 2019 – As the popular HBO TV show and book series Game of Thrones enters its eighth and final season, Americans wonder which character will die next, who is going to become a white walker and who is likely to rule Westeros. Eighteen percent of Americans, or around 59 million people, have seen all the episodes of the TV show and plan to watch the new season live. Another 6% of Americans have seen all the episodes, but plan to watch the new season once all episodes are released. About one in ten (9%) watch Game of Thrones, but are not caught up in all the episodes. Americans think that Cersei Lannister, the current ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, is most likely to die next (18%). Theon Greyjoy comes in second, with 16% of Americans predicting he is going to die next. Jon Snow, Warden of the North, is third on the list with 14% thinking he is likely to die next. Other characters that Americans think might die next include The Hound (13%), one (or more) dragons (13%), and Jaime Lannister (13%). As the Night King moves south of The Wall and into Winterfell, Americans think that Theon Greyjoy is most likely to become a white walker (13%). Other potential characters at risk of becoming white walkers include Jon Snow (11%), Cersei Lannister (11%), the Hound (11%), Jorah Mormont (11%) and one (or more) dragons (10%). In the battle of ice and fire, Americans predict that Jon Snow will more likely end up ruling the Iron Throne (31%).

Abstract This thesis examines representations of the medieval in popular fantasy film and television. Emphasizing costume design, this paper explores themes of identity, nation, past and present. Analysis is organized through three case studies, Andrew Adamson’s The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005), Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) and David Benioff and D.B. Weiss’ Game of Thrones (2011- 2019). Each work demonstrates different strategies for constructing the past and referencing history to authenticate fantastic worldbuilding. They exist within broader traditions of medievalism and exploring present concerns through the veil of the past.

    Examensarbete ”Tears are not a womans only weapon” En historiebruksanalys av HBOs tv- serie Game of Thrones Författare: Erik Olofsson Examinator: Zara Bersbo Handledare: Cecilia Trenter Termin: VT13 Ämne: Historia Nivå: Kandidat Kurskod: 2HIÄ06 Abstract The middle ages is a time in our history that is often used as a frame when portraying fantasy on tv. HBOs immensely popular series Game of Thrones could easily be counted as one of these. But to what extent does the creators of the series approach the history of our world while creating their own? The aim of this essay is to analyse a number of characters from the tv- series out of gender- and their place in the social structure and then compare the findings with the image of the middle ages that is given in academic research. By analysing the two released seasons of Game of Thrones the study has shown that there are many similarities between the fictional world and the actual world but that it also differs through choices made by the creators of the series.
