The Legend of the Legends - Jon Snow
Looking at the entire drama "Game of Thrones", Jon﹒ Snow is undoubtedly one of the most important protagonists. From the first episode of the first season to the last episode of the last season, although the mystery left by this character is puzzled by the audience, it does not affect the audience's love for Snow at all. If you come to do a vote, the most popular character in the game of suffrage, Snow is definitely the most popular one. Today we will talk about Jon﹒ Snow.
Snow has courage and courage, but his eyes are not far away, which is deeply related to his human nature. A character's human nature is closely related to his inheritance, culture and environment influence. He grew up in Winterfell as an illegitimate child in the North and was educated in Winterfell’s environment and relationships. In the whole play, Ed is the only one who knows his life story before Bran becomes the Three-Eyed Crow.
1. In Winterfell
Snow has been in Winterfell twice.
Once, I lived here since I was a child, and later left to the Great Wall of the North. He lives in Winterfell as an illegitimate child, and this identity seriously affects his psychology, so Snow in Winterfell looks a little melancholy and a little cold. In the background of the whole drama, the illegitimate child is very unattended, just like the little demon has always been regarded as a dwarf, just like the skinned Rams, the illegitimate child’s psychology is probably a bit inferior and sad. The inferiority is the identity of the illegitimate child, and the sadness is not respected by others, especially the acquisition of maternal love.
In fact, the people in Winterfell are still very kind and do not laugh at him as an illegitimate child. The one who really has a grudge against this is the wolf mother. The one who really mocks and looks down on the illegitimate child is Theon, and the one who really doesn't like it is Sansa. Apart from these three people, Snow's other siblings were very nice to him, and the people in Winterfell were very nice to him. But the identity of the illegitimate child has always troubled him, which is also the key reason why he chose to go north to the Great Wall. When Snow was in Winterfell, the blood of a leader flowed in his blood vessels, or he wanted to achieve something, which was also his way to get affirmation, and it might be that he wanted to escape such a living environment. So he chose to go to the Great Wall. Of course, there is more than this reason to go to the Great Wall. However, Snow's most correct decision was his decision. As a person who can become a leader or leader in the future, he had to make countless decisions in his life. Sometimes the decisions made are correct, sometimes the decisions made are wrong, and sometimes some decisions have to be made.
Decisions are not easy to make, one is courage and the other is vision. Both must be possessed and both must be very good. At this time, Snow in Winterfell had no vision, he had courage. Then his courage was influenced by the Winterfell environment, or part of his inheritance. Snow grew up in Winterfell and was influenced by the environment of Winterfell, so even snowNone was flowing with the blood of the Targaryen family, but it still could not withstand the acquired environment because this power was too important. Everything he experienced in Winterfell will affect every step he later. He eventually worked hard for eight seasons, and not only did he not ascend to the Iron Throne but was exiled to the Great Wall, which was also related to his character in Winterfell. The formation of a person's human nature depends on what role model the most powerful and authoritative person around him gives him. Fortunately, his role model is Ed. Stark, unfortunately his role model is Ed. Stark. Although he was flowing with Targaryen's blood, he was influenced by the wolf family.
2. Return to Winterfell
He left Winterfell to the Great Wall of Desperateness, and then returned to Winterfell. After he won the battle of illegitimate son, he successfully solved the small skin and completely wiped out the Borden family. At this time, he was the king of the North. Here he had arguments and conflicts with Sansa, and also let us see a reality, that is, who is suitable for playing Game of Thrones. Obviously, Sansa, who has experienced various tortures and major changes, is more suitable for playing Game of Thrones. Snow, like Ed and Robb, is not a person who plays Game of Thrones, which is also one of the reasons why he failed to ascend to the Iron Thrones.
In some ways, Snow has an idealism in him. He is a super warrior and a novice in power. Or the men of the Wolf family are not sensitive to power at all, and they have no concept of power in their thoughts and consciousness. He failed to see through the facts—the rules of Game of Thrones. He only saw his world, he only knew what he should do, but once he entered this place, no one could escape. All facts prove that we cannot just have the power to fight the battlefield, but we must also have the power to make a move. In some ways, politics is also at work behind the victory on the battlefield. Unfortunately, the men of the wolf family did not realize it. This is fully reflected in Cersei. Like his brothers, he did not recognize who his real opponent was or how he was. This can be seen in the debate between Winterfell and Sansa, and in the battle of the illegitimate son. He is a brave man, but he also has no strategic vision.
3. In the Great Wall of Desperate
Snow's character image is changing, but this change is not changing in the opposite direction, nor is it all change. His image is strengthening, but the fundamental thing planted in Winterfell has not changed, but has also been strengthened.
In the Great Wall of Desperation, he went from a night watchman to a affairs officer who was the commander of the Night Watch Corps, and was captured to the savage tribe. He killed Broken Palm Colin and broke into the savage team. He met his first love in the savage team and fell in love with the female savage Yerret. He also led the Night Watch Legion to successfully resist the attack of the savages. He was elected as the commander of the Night Watch Legion, and then was killed by the Night Watcher, and then turned his oath. These experiences prompted Snow's character to continue to deepen and strengthen, allowing him to successfully grow into a warrior.
It was also during the Great Wall that the audience saw a Snow that was righteous, upright, kind, courageous and powerful. It is also this writing that successfully deceived the audience. All viewers thought that Snow had experienced these hardships and was finally able to sit on the Iron Throne and become Westeros' only king, but in the end there was no. So why, Snow has experienced so much, and even gives the audience the feeling that the character who works the hardest, fights the most and contributes the most in the play ends up making wedding dresses for others.
In fact, this is still the fundamental reason in his human nature. He is a fighter, a warrior. He can lead troops to fight, he can destroy the enemy, but that's all. Often in some rules, the one who contributes the most is often the grassroots, because some people are enjoying the benefits behind their backs. All his motivations for his actions come from his goodness. He let the savage enter the Great Wall was his goodness, or his benevolence and righteousness. All his motivations for his actions did not come from the greater Iron Throne or power. Therefore, he was unable to become the king of the Iron Throne in the end, which is also the reason for this.
In general, he is a hero who opens the world. If there is no fierce power competition behind him, he will become a king. Unfortunately, there is a power competition behind him, and he cannot open up a new world. This is also the limitation of Snow's human nature. So when we look at Snow's performance in the Great Wall of Desperation and north of the Great Wall, we are an excellent warrior, an excellent leader, and a kind and righteous person, but it also allows the audience to see his limitations.
When a character can only do this and there is nothing else to do, he can only do this.
The flaws in Snow's human nature are the same as those of Ed and Robb. In layman's terms, they are not on guard against others and their own opponents. They are always underestimating their opponents, which leads to the difficulty of winning. Let's analyze this with the most famous battle in this play.
IV. Battle for illegitimate son
The battle of the illegitimate son took place in the north, and the person Snow fought against was Xiaoskin. Xiao Baixi caught Ed's youngest son Ricken. On the eve of the war, he had a fierce argument with Sansa. Sansa believed that Xiao Baixi would definitely be the bait and asserted that Ricken would definitely not survive, but Snow did not listen and insisted on saving Ricken. Later, what Sansa said was indeed fulfilled. Here, Snow shows the stubborn side of his character, which is comparable to Robb's. After making his own decision, he will not allow others to change, especially women. Think about how many times Robb had arguing with his mother.
Other thing is that he rejected Sansa's request and asked the cavalry of the Ailing Valley to help. Therefore, Snow had a very difficult victory in the battle of illegitimate sons. If Sansa had not raided with the cavalry of the Eiling Valley, then the one who won the battle of illegitimate sons would have been Xiaoskin.
If Snow could recognize his opponent, Xiao Feixi, what kind of person, what methods would he useIf you come to deal with yourself, he will not be so difficult to win. From this we also see that Snow cannot win the Iron Throne, and Snow cannot be the king, but Sansa has shown this potential.
Never refuse help from either party in war. This is a truth, but unfortunately Snow doesn't understand. Or it’s not that he doesn’t understand, it’s that he doesn’t want to, he has his own persistence. This is also a reflection of his idealism.
5. End - Exile
After working hard to defeat the Night King's army, he followed the Dragon Mother to Junlin to compete with Cersei. The angry Dragon Mother rode Drogon and angrily slaughtered the city, burning most of the King's Land, and also saw the Iron Throne. Looking at the Iron Throne that was within reach, but was killed by the beloved Snow in front of the Iron Throne.
Why did Snow kill Dragon Mom? Do you have to kill?
In fact, the fundamental reason why Snow kills Dragon Mom lies in his human nature. He has to do that. Because he is Jon﹒ Snow.
Snow is actually a tragic character, and this tragedy was destined from the beginning. He is the bravest person in the whole play. He is the same person as Ed and Robb. He has a bright heart. I see Qingshan so charming, but I think Qingshan should be like this when he sees me. This is a halo on the big man, but it is also a fatal flaw.
In a word, he is not a player in the Game of Thrones. He is a piece in the Game of Thrones.
