Daenerys Targaryen is an important character in the show Game of Thrones. Her physical traits represent a young woman, she has light eyes, pale skin, and long, pale silver-gold hair. Daenerys has a slender frame and is definitely conventionally attractive. Daenerys Targaryen, also known as the ‘mother of dragons’ and matriarch; she embodies the qualities of the warrior-mother who fiercely nurtures and protects what is hers. At one point she has three dragons, her dragons, fly above her symbolize the rise of Targaryen power. As fantastical creatures, they also represent freedom. She can pretty much get the dragons to do whatever she wants and she also cannot be burned by fire.
Daenerys is also a character who sees herself as purely good. She is the rightful heir to the throne of Westeros (main city in the show) and the protector of her people. She has used her strength, and her dragons, to liberate both literal slaves in the East and the people forced to live under the rule in the West. She agonizes over decisions that would harm any of her people, even if they seem to be for the greater good, and she

She doesn’t necessarily expect the friend to have a sense of communion but she herself does share often on an intimate level with her friends and people she is close with. Daenerys does believe in reciprocity because she wants others to benefit as well and she generally has a deep caring for others- especially those facing slavery or other kinds of hardship. The solidarity aspect of her personality ties in with the reciprocity because when people are going through a hardship and she cares enough to stand up and fight with them for their rights and freedom. Later in the series when she has people of her own that she “rules” over, she stands up for them whenever they need her and the people do the same for her because they know that she is going to have their
It helps to understand that we should be kind no matter what happens in a friendship. I always want to feel generous with my kindness. In the Odyssey Circe went behind Odysseus back by adding vile in the drinks after seating Odysseus men on thrones. “On thrones she seated them, and lounging chairs, while she prepared a meal of cheese and barley and amber honey mixed with Pramnian wine, adding her own pinch, to make them lose desire or thought of our dear fatherland.” (Homer 10.27-31) This is an example of the bad hospitality Circe gave to her guest. By this we can tell that we couldn't trust her in a friendship. In order to have a great friendship you need to have trust, support and
The story gives us a wide variety of characters, each bringing in their own definition of what being “good” is. The grandmother, the protagonist, sees herself as good, due to her status as a lady. She is a very judgmental character, who could find fault in anything and anyone, minus herself. She criticizes Bailey, her son, for his choice of vacation stating “I wouldn’t take my children in any direction with a criminal like that aloose in it” (O’Connor 422). She snaps at John Wesley for his distasteful remarks against Georgia, and even the mother for not agreeing to go toTennessee (O’Connor 424). In addition, she deems her life more valuable than others and that The Misfit would and should spare
“Evil has no positive nature; but the loss of good has received the name 'evil.” Saint Augustine said this after much research and deep thought because evil is not easily defined. Evil comes in several forms and carried out in many ways, so that to point at one person and name them as the purist of evil is impossible. However, some traits of a person doing “bad” are recognizable. In “Good Country People” and “A Good Man is Hard to Find” Flannery O' Conner depicts evil as a mutation; however, the identity of the mutation is not limited to a common standard of evil.
In deciding whether or not a person is good, all of their characteristics must be looked at. That person might look good on the outside, but if their heart is exposed, they may not look as perfect as they thought. In Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, Brutus is a perfect example of this idea. He is sympathetic, kind, and generous, but when his motives are questioned, he does not look so sensitive. Brutus is not an honorable man.
In the show Game of Thrones (produced by HBO, originally written by George R Martin) there is a character name Tyrion Lannister, this character is known for abnormal characteristics. Many people describe him as intelligent, a great speaker, sarcastic, witty, and thinking about the next step. Through both of these speeches the exigence (purpose for the speech), rhetor (speaker), and audience (person or group speech is directed) stay pretty much the same. The exigence for the speech that occurred at Blackwater, Tyrion is speaking to convince the people to fight even though their King is not present. The rhetor would be Tyrion and the audience would then be the people he is trying to convince to fight at this battle.
Doing good deeds makes one a good person, right? One definition of a good person is someone who does good acts but doesn’t truly mean and feel it in their heart. Lane A. Dean Jr. is an example of
Machiavelli spoke of a balance between good and evil. "In actual fact, a prince may not have all of the admirable qualities listed, but it is necessary that he should seem to have them. Indeed I will venture to say that when you have them and exercise them all of the time, they are harmful to you; when you just seem to have them, they are useful. It is good to appear merciful, truthful, humane, sincere, and religious; it is good to be so in reality. But you must keep your mind so disposed that, in case of need, you can turn to the exact contrary".
Good, a word used by all, but most not truly knowing what the true concept of good actually is. What is good? Good, in my own understanding, entails an act or statement that is, not only morally and perceptively correct in the eyes of others, but also in one's own eyes. There is a sense of accomplishment; a sense of achievement felt when something good has been done. This feeling usually does not only pertain to the individual, but also to those around him who might have benefited in one way or another from his/her good deed or statement.
However Dickens also has those characters that are supposed to be good and evil except the reader can't always tell which is which, this happened with the peasants and aristocrats. At first the peasants are supposed to be the good and the aristocrats the evil, yet when the peasants have control they are just as bad as the aristocrats. When the aristocrats had all of the power they were bloodthirsty. They would "sentence a youth to death" for not kneeling for monks. This was a very bad time and this seems and is extremely evil. It seems as if the peasants were good, yet when the tables turned they acted the exact same way as the aristocrats. The peasants had "eleven hundred defenseless prisoners killed just because they could. So the peasants were just as evil as the aristocrats, even though both thought they had just cause.
... other. Although Peter is considered evil and cruel, the novel never mentions him killing any human being. Ender is another perfect example of good and evil coexisting in one body though he is generally seen as good, he has his moments. Finally, Card expresses his thoughts on his theme of good versus evil with symbols that can describe the deception of looks; not all who look innocent are innocent, and not all those who look guilty are guilty. Good and evil lives within us however it is up to each individual person to decide which side of the fence they would rather be on: good or evil.
The context in which the show is set is argued to to have an influence on the depiction. It takes place in Medieval Europe, although a fantasy version. Martin detailed on how the book and series reflects the patriachal society, "The Middle Ages were not a time of sexual egalitarianism. It was very classist, dividing people into 3 classes. And they had strong ideas about the role of women." The argument in relation to sexism in Game Of Thrones is not simplistic. The show has been widely critisized for its frequent nudity and sexual violence against women. Despite the critique, some of the strongest characters on the show are female. In the sense that they are often rebelling against the systematic and hegemonic abuse of the society. Brienne of Tarth defies the typical gender roles in the society. When introduced to the series, it is not made immediately obvious what gender Brienne Of Tarth is; she is a skilled swordsmen, having bested Jamie Lannister and self admitted rapist Sendor Clegane, who perfers chainmail to silk. Arya Stark is similar in taking up an interest in sword fighting from a young age and despite later losing most of her family, she is nobodys ' victim. In addition to that, Danerys Targaryean is one of the most iconic characters on the show, who is female. She was first introduced as a victim as she was sold into a warlord 's marriage bed, but however, she ended up outliving him and conquering numerous cities that were previously involved in slave trade. Cersei Lannister is a complex character that also challenges the patriachy. She is incredibly power but being female seems to stand in her way at every turn. She tells Sansa once that she could not understand how when she and Jaime were children, he got to go off and be a knight whilst she was stuck learning how to sing, curtsey and please. It is interesting as to how she responds to this; Cersei
In general, Fatimah has good psychological health and has nice character traits. She has an ability to quickly adapt and accept different cultures and form social relationships in a short time. However, she has suffered from some psychological troubles such as nervousness, mood swings, and feelings of inferiority.
How people define what is good and what is evil can be completely different as well as their opinions on whether or not people are naturally good or bad. Within Stephen King’s The Stand, certain characteristics are easily distinguished as good such as being “thoughtful” (145) or having “a sense of responsibility” (145) which many seek to achieve. Nonetheless, the statement that such attributes are “rare” (145) implies that many give into the pull of evil and cause the number of people who are truly good to decline. This draws up the question as to what really determines evil. There is a further universal set of rules that are ...
Are some people inherently evil? It could go without saying that most people are generally honest and law abiding, invested in their lives and setting realistic goals within the norms of society without hampering others’. A person who is guided by moral values shared amongst his/her peers, whose mind reacts to situations in a way as to achieve the best outcome within the moral and legal laws that they are accustomed to follow; could not truly understand the complexities within the minds of those who go against what is thought to be right and takes unjustifiable means to achieve a goal despite the harm that can be set upon others. Yet William Shakespeare is able to personify evil with his characters in a way as to look within ourselves to find
Are people always doing the right thing? A person is able to perform an act to better themselves and their community around them. They believe in that action, that everything around them is for good. Anne Frank’s statement, that people are truly good at heart, is true. The current generation and the past generation have had its faults, its own troubles, and events, just like the Holocaust and the recent Florida school shooting. Yet, there is always good in the world, no matter the evil. During challenging times, people will come together to help one another, and try to make a difference in the world. People will sacrifice their own for others. People have the ability to change their mind from thinking of the worst in people
