After a 8 season long journey, we come to the conclusion of one of HBO’s most infamous series, Game of Thrones.  To be a highly respected show, it must have an efficient Narrative Paradigm and we will analyze its effectiveness within the last episode “The Iron Throne.”

Here we'll go over some of the detail that have change the effectiveness of GOT's narrative paradigm.  Archetypes, recurring tropes, and previous episode context will be used as examples.

This theory analyzes how effective the story telling of a media text is.  It mainly breaks it down to two category's, coherence and fidelity.  Is the story sensible and coherent?  Are the actions that take place relatable?  Narrative scholar Gretchen Busl describes it as "is what explains who not just a single image but any single phrase or word can conjure up an enormous very complex story behind it."  With the inclusion of Mary Dixson's analysis "it covers every aspect of life with regard to character, motive, and action.

While a great series, we were given the short end of the stick on the final episode.  Much of the events that took place felt rushed.  Sure, maybe Daenerys becoming a mad tyrant would have been a worthy development to have, it wasn't done in the best way.  There was enough room to expand the television series for another few seasons, even George R.R. Martin thought so.    Youtuber Cosmonaut Variety Hour touched upon this issue, being that the show "suffers from moving wat too quickly." But in a moment of extrinsic appreciation, we must consider the writers of this show were at a point were the books had yet to reach yet. The novel series has yet to be finished by author George R.R Martin.

At the final episode we witness the end of Jon's character arc.  Unlike the conventional hero, Jon teeters between his responsibility and his judgement.  While he has accomplished a great deal and has progressed a great deal in character development, there are times where his naivety and doubt mirrors his former self of the initial start of the series.

By the finale we witness the fruition of Arya's development.  We a character that finally gets what she wants and can live happily with her family.  But instead she rejects that and embarks on a new journey.  Arya is a perfect example of the "Explorer" due to her inability to settle.  This can be from trauma of being on her own for most of the series or from exploring the various parts of this shows world.

Over the course of this series, we've seem Dani try to overcome the history of her lineage and defy the madness that inherits the Targaryen's.   While it may be possible to place her as another hero figure in this series, she is much closer to that of the "Outlaw."  As this archetype liberation, revolution, power, and being indominable are her key qualities.  This certainly does fit her title of "Breaker of Chains."

For some characters of this series we view them at certain angles leading to their death, depending on the good of their character. Especially when you consider the death of those who've sat on the Iron Throne. The only ones without pitiful and  inferior angled shots are Tommen and Ned Stark.

Being a turbulent episode, approval ratings were divisive among audience viewers.   Writer Joe Otterson included commentary by Daniel D'Addario, stating “It was as though the show, burdened with a story near-impossible to carry across the finish line, lost its nerve." With that, its understandable why many felt conflicted.

When we experience the death of honorable/good characters we usually see them is a superior angle. Their character and presence is still respected. Even when Ned Stark was to be beheaded, we never look down upon him.

With Game of Thrones setting a new standard and breaking some of the fundamental of television writing, its made many great feats but has also lacked in some areas.  But now it can be used as an example for others that would follow.  Another old world setting based show, The Last Kingdom has been compared to GOT by many others.  Writer Phyllis Feng has tallied the strengths displayed in The Last Kingdom, that GOT fell short of during it's final episodes.

In this scene, for the first time we see "King's Landing" buried beneath snow. But during some angles of this scene, faint traces of ashes can be seen. After 8 seasons, winter has finally arrived to "King's Landing", but in the form of desolation.

On the other hand, when we have characters who've lost their way or his lead dishonorable lives, we tend to view them inferiorly. We watch from a high angle as Jon takes Dani's life. Much similar to the first king, Robert Baratheon, we look down upon them. Robert was a drunkard who tried to redeem himself at his end. Daenerys laid waste to an entire town as she took over the kingdom. A very sick "pregame" to celebrate her new rule.
