Chapter 453: Bringing Game of Thrones to the Stage (12)

Of course, Jon Snow is no longer likable, nor is it annoying, and the really annoying characters such as Joffrey, Queen Cersei, etc., are the existence that the watchmen want to smash to death.

And the existence of these characters is also crucial, because they are the key to the ability of the officials to be able to substitute for them.

As one of the most unpopular characters in Game of Thrones, he inherits all the shortcomings of the Lannisters.

He is irritable, conceited, cruel, naïve, impulsive, etc., and his demeanor is more like that of a pervert.

In the first season, Joffrey is furious when he sees Arya playing with the Butcher's apprentice because he feels that a pariah is not worthy of playing with a sword.

When he wounded the butcher's apprentice, Arya raised his stick and knocked him to the ground, at which point he fought back with his sword.

Arya, who was knocked to the ground, was about to be injured by Joffrey, and finally Somelia bit Joffrey's hand, and Arya fought back.

At this time, Joffrey, who was bitten, begged Arya to let him go, and Joffrey showed a cowardly look.

I originally thought that the apprentice who bullied the butcher could not only show his masculinity, but also show off his swordsmanship, but he didn't expect it to backfire, and instead he lost face in front of his fiancée.

After Arya leaves, he takes his anger out on Sansa after being humiliated.

In other words, Joffrey is actually a person who bullies the weak and is afraid of the hard, and when he sees someone stronger than himself, he will be inferior, and when he is in power, he will be arrogant.

After being persuaded by Cersei, Joffrey tries to be nice to Sansa, and during the conversation with Sansa, he apologizes to her for her actions.

This may be the only time Joffrey apologizes and admits his mistakes in Game of Thrones.

However, he then forces Sansa to see how cruel her father's beheading is, but he still enjoys it, because he is a psychopath.

Sansa witnessed her father's beheading, and although she knew that such a scene would be too bloody and too cruel, Joffrey forced Sansa to see Ned's head hanging from the wall.

Even though Sansa was his wife, even though Sansa was isolated, when he learned of Robb's victory, he took out his anger on Sansa.

In public, he ordered Sir Marlin to humiliate the defenseless Sansa by beating his fiancée and tearing her clothes apart.

Luckily, Tyrion's timely appearance prevented the humiliating spectator.

Throughout the Lannisters, even though Tywin and Jaime knew of Joffrey's bad deeds, they would not stop him.

Only Tyrion, who has the most correct views, will stop Joffrey's viciousness at the right moment.

In fact, Joffrey hated his uncle very much, and had insulted Tyrion many times, but for the sake of the family, Tyrion could only endure his uncle.

In Joffrey's entire life, the only woman who could interest him was Margaery Tyrrell, so why would the cruel Joffrey be the only one who would be gentle with Margaery?

Perhaps it was Margaery who was able to give him the taste of a real man, so Joffrey would restrain his brutal side in front of Margaery.

In addition, the union of the two can win the greatest benefits for the two families, so these two people enjoy it even if they have ghosts in their hearts.

In fact, Joffrey has an antisocial personality and has taken pride in abusing animals since he was a child.

The sense of superiority given to him by his family fostered his reckless personality and ultimately paid the price for his uncontrollable madness.

Although he is not a descendant of the Mad King, he has been "infected" by the Mad King's practices, which may be the biggest punishment for the "Kingkiller" Jaime and the Lannister family.

Of course, hate is one thing, and I have to say that he is also one of the saddest characters in the play.

He is different from every child in the story, not only was he born into King's Landing, but he is also the first in line to the Iron Throne.

But tragically, Joffrey never had royal blood in his body, because he was the flesh and blood of his mother Cersei and his uncle James, and had no half-dime relationship with the Baratheon family.

It has to be said that this has largely led to the tyranny and unreasonable treatment of the people after Joffrey became king, and he has become less and less concerned about his mother Cersei. Imagine how you would feel when everyone poked you in the back and said you were a sinful seed?

It's like everyone is talking about you not being your parents' biological child.

However, the mistakes made by adults are borne by children.

After talking about "life", let's talk about Joffrey's family and educational environment.

As mentioned earlier, Joffrey lives in a royal family, and he stretches out his hands to eat, but judging from the first season when King Robert was still alive, Robert's attitude towards this "son" seems to be very unwelcome.

As the future heir to the throne, it was not pleasant to be left out and have to suppress his temper, so after Robert's death, Joffrey exploded, and the long-stored resentment was completely released after becoming king.

He first ordered the execution of Eddard, the guardian of the North, humiliated and tortured his daughter Sansa, and even mocked his maternal grandfather Tywin for losing the battle.

Everyone in the Lannisters, including ministers who served the royal family, understood that executing Ed was an unwise choice, didn't Joffrey understand?

That's right, he just doesn't get it.

Because in his eyes, Ed is just a small guardian of the North, and he also knows the secret of his origins, so he must eradicate it.

What if the Starks rebelled against the North? He is the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, and with the Lannister family behind him, he is not afraid, let alone reckless.

Not only that, but her mother Cersei's protection and doting on Joffrey are even more deadly.

When Robert's own brother Stannis led an army against King's Landing, Joffrey was really scared in the face of the army.

But at this critical juncture, Cersei ordered Joffrey to be brought back to the palace to be a shrunken turtle, and then someone stood up and told Joffrey that this was wrong, only the little demon Tyrion.

Yet how could Joffrey listen to him? He's just a dwarf that everyone in the Lannisters looks down on.

Just imagine, if it weren't for Cersei's life talisman, Joffrey might have stayed on the battlefield.

But Cersei would rather die on the Iron Throne with her son in her arms than stay on the front line and fight alongside the soldiers.

Although the appearance of Margaery Tyrell is abrupt, she becomes Joffrey's favorite woman in the show, and she likes it more than Sansa at the time.

But as Margaery's grandmother, how could Olena bear to marry her granddaughter to such a mediocre king?

So secretly teamed up with Littlefinger to poison Joffrey's wedding party, and Joffrey didn't even know who his murderer was.

And Margaery's heart has never been on Joffrey, she just wants to be the queen, and it doesn't matter who the king is.

At this point, Joffrey's tragic life finally came to an end.

Born in the emperor's family, it is both lucky and terrifying.

The growth of power, the neglect of the father, the doting of the mother, and the indulgence of the crowd finally pushed a child to destruction.

There must be something hateful about the poor man, and his pathos cannot hide his hatred.

To be honest, there are very few people who can combine the seven deadly sins like Joffrey the Great, and they can't find a trace of merit with a magnifying glass.

Of course, if the appearance is also considered an advantage, Xiao Qiao's appearance and temperament are still good, at least he can make a little girl like Sansa become his little fan sister.

His first sin was arrogance.

Cersei's arrogance hung in the corners of her mouth, and Joffrey's arrogance spread to every corner of his features, even the lice that came out of his blonde hair showed superiority everywhere.

Ned Stark is the guardian of the North, the Hand of the King, but in Joffrey's view, he is nothing more than a sell-out.

The fearless Barristan is the best in the world in martial arts, and in Joffrey's eyes, he is just an idle martial artist.

Tywin Lannister quelled the rebellion of the Five Kings and rode in and out of the Iron King's Hall with his sword on his shoulder, as if he were in a no-man's land, but in Joffrey's eyes, he was nothing more than a monkey descending the mountain, plundering the fruits of other people's victories by the way.

There are many arrogant people in history, who can only conquer the world themselves, and do have arrogant capital, while Joffrey has nothing, just simply looks down on people.

In Joffrey's life, there was only one person he really admired, and that person was his titular father, Robert, the deer ancestor of the Baratheon dynasty.

Lu Taizu started in the land of storms, united with wolves and eagle fish, and the trident killed Lega in a battle and won the world, and established a huge foundation, which is indeed outstanding, but after ascending to the Iron Throne, it was soon corrupted and degenerated.

With the extravagant Robert as his idol, it's no wonder that Joffrey is getting more and more out of shape.

In fact, Robert never worked the education of his three children, he was busy drinking flowers and wine every day to find women, toiling in the vast fields of the Seven Kingdoms, and only planting but not reaping, turning a blind eye to the nineteen children.

There was no one in Westeros who enjoyed life more than Robert, who spent all the money in the treasury and slept with every beauty he had ever seen, making the faint king the best and setting a bad example for Joffrey.

Before the killing, Joffrey showed his bravery by dissecting a pregnant kitten with his own hands, and brought his own dissection to Robert, hoping to be praised by his father.

This plot is particularly similar to Daji in "Romance of the Gods", a cruel and vicious character.

Through such a small thing, it is vividly narrated.

Instead of praising Joffrey's love of modern medicine, Robert rewarded Joffrey with two big-eared scrapers.

Joffrey, who was wronged, ran to his mother Cersei to complain, Cersei went out to support Joffrey, beat Robert down, and took out the fact that Robert connived at Rhaeggar's child to be killed to expose Robert's scars, and Robert never taught Joffrey anymore, allowing the child to grow up savagely.

Cersei spoiled her for love, and spoiled Joffrey undecently.

Shortly after the cat killing, Joffrey decided to kill another person, and that person was Bran Stark, the young son of the Guardian of the North.

Bran was pushed off the tower by Jaime and broke his leg, and the Starks were so busy that they neglected King Robert's reception, much to Robert's displeasure.

So after a drink, Robert complained that Ned didn't look like a man, and said that it was better for Bran to die if he was disabled.

Joffrey loved to listen to this kind of bastard, and he took his father's drunken nonsense as if he was drunk, and directly stole the king's keel dagger, and paid an unscrupulous assassin to assassinate Bran.

Although the assassination was unsuccessful, it caused a series of misunderstandings and allowed Littlefinger to take advantage of them, causing chaos in the Seven Kingdoms.

The young Mikay only had a sword fight with Erya, and was chopped to pieces by the hounds, although this matter was not done by Joffrey himself, but because of him, and Sansa was also compensated for one of the ice wolves.

The beams of the wolf family, the deer family, and the lion family became deeper and deeper, and finally led to the death of Robert and the capture of Ned, but Joffrey, with the support of his mother, successfully ascended to the Iron Throne.

With the previous killing of cats and children as a foreshadowing, the young Joffrey has no psychological barrier at all, and uses the method of killing Ned to cheer for his ascension to the throne.

This move directly led to the War of the Five Kings, the resurgence of Westeros, and the destruction of countless lives.

Every time Joffrey is self-righteous, he can smoothly mess up a good thing and cause a bunch of right and wrong.

When retribution came, Joffrey didn't have any way to deal with it, pretending to be a minor, hiding in Cersei's arms and crying.

As a result, one of the coolest scenes in the whole show appeared, where the little demon Tyrion rose up several times and slapped this unsuccessful child fiercely, making Joffrey show his cowardly and incompetent original form.

After being beaten, Joffrey had nothing to do but go to his mother to call the shots, and his orders were immune to Tyrion, and no one would obey the king's "chaotic orders" to clean up Tyrion, who was for the country and the people.

During the Battle of the Blackwater, Stannis's navy descended on the city, and Cersei and Joffrey were at a loss, hiding behind the Iron Throne every day and shivering.

This is the true face of this mother and son, who have achieved nothing in governing the country and know nothing about fighting with soldiers, so they will come out in peacetime to show prestige and intrigue with others.

Joffrey's cowardice and incompetence sometimes can't even stand Cersei, for example, Joffrey pretended garlic in front of Duke Tywin, and was directly taught by Tywin to be a man, and Cersei also thought that Tywin's teachings were very reasonable, and ordered Joffrey to listen carefully.

At that time, Joffrey was nominally a king, but in fact he was a puppet, except for being able to command a few Kingsguard and beat Sansa, he could not mobilize a single soldier in King's Landing, and he was not even free to enter and leave the Red Keep.

But the less capable he is, the more he can pretend to be, and he imagines himself as the great hero who pacified the Battle of the Five Kings, and sets up a statue of himself with an icewolf stepping on it, which is extremely comical according to Wald Frey's work.

This statue did not bring glory to Joffrey, but it brought him the same bad luck as the bloody wedding:

On the day of his own wedding, he wore the most luxurious dress and died in front of a beautiful bride, which is a great irony.
