This book focuses on the characters that populate the Game of
Thrones universe and on one of the most salient features of their
interaction: violence and warfare. It analyses these questions from
a multidisciplinary perspective that is chiefly based on Classical
Studies. The book is divided into two sections. The first section
explores Martin's characters as the mainstay of both the novels and
the TV series, since the author has peopled his universe with
three-dimensional intriguing characters that resonate with the
reader/audience. The second section is devoted to violence and
warfare, both pervasive in the Game of Thrones universe. In
particular, the TV series' depiction of violence is explicit, going
beyond the limits that have seldom been traversed in primetime
television i.e. the execution of Ned Stark, the "Red Wedding" and
"Battle of the Bastards". In the Game of Thrones universe, violence
is not only restricted to warfare but is an everyday occurrence, a
result of the social and gender inequalities characterising the
world created by Martin.
