And so is born power - about the rightness of Daenerys Targaryen

The fifth episode of the last season of "Game of Thrones" few people are left untouched. Spectators jerked so hard the strings of emotion, that the voice of reason remained in the background and has not been heard.

And so is born power — rightness of Daenerys Targaryen

Meanwhile, if you listen to it, will, ... that Daenerys Targaryen circle right. That's the way - entirely.

With what kind of positions will begin to look at the problem? In terms of tradition, historical logic or common sense? With what may start, everywhere will come to the same conclusion, voiced above.

In terms of tradition, Daenerys - legitimate heir to the dynasty Targaryen. Dynasty not only legitimate - and even in something sacred, for it Targaryen saved Vasteras in ancient times from the invasion of the White Walkers. This dynasty longer, than just a royal - in fact,, her, both parents, all now living in the Seven Kingdoms owe their lives. she SVERHlegitimna. And since the usurpation of the Iron Throne has not passed even a single generation - some years 15-20, not more, so it can not be said, Restoration that appeals to the "affairs of bygone days, Tales of olden times ". No, Daenerys seeks to take his throne, which the, by historical standards, more "not cool" after her father. And it has every right!

Based on this simple fact, Daenerys - autocratic ruler of the Seven Kingdoms. autocratic. That such it themselves fully and feels, and accordingly receives. By all standards, this earth's history - alas!, never differ humanism, but always strive for expediency - the suppression of the rebellion rebellious city produced without mercy, regardless of any sacrifice as a non-peaceful, and civilians. collective responsibility, Yes. in times, when people fought with swords, and not come up with the UN, it was thousands of years in all countries. Even in Västerås - which, in contrast to the Mediterranean, not intended to be a "Otherworldly", it is just an allegory of the earth Middle Ages.

So Daenerys entered fully into the spirit of the traditional behavior of the monarch, regains the throne, occupied by the rebels and impostors. Tradition - on her side. Any European monarch would have pressed her hand without a shadow of doubt in her loyalty returned by the throne.

From the standpoint of historical logic, still more clearly - modernizer always right. It can not be right in the books Strugatsky, thereof, where the role of the young men are the reflectors, that "it's hard to be god", but in real life is always right modernizer. At all! any ruler, jerk throwing his country from ignorance to enlightenment, from barbarism to civilization, from a century of poverty and stagnation to traumatic social progress, science and technology - whether Peter the Great, Stalin, Ataturk, Meiji or Lee Kuan Yew - is always right. He does not like! He was always referred to as the destroyer of the foundations and the bloody despot, but the logic of historical progress only on his side, and not on anyone's longer.

Humanism is here must be assessed solely in the spirit of the words of Daenerys, said before the storm of the Royal harbor: "Mercy to the future generations, that will never be held hostage by the tyrant ". Endless cycle of slaves and slave owners, tyrants and their hostages must be broken at all costs. One-time victim in any case more than justified, than endless.

So Daenerys like a man, seeking to change the social formation of Westeros, rights even more, than just as an autocrat, regains the throne.

Finally, common sense, too, on the side of Daenerys. She does not listen to advice Varis, Jon Snow and Tyrion? And they are often advised her something clever? Due to recklessness John Snow first dragon was lost. Because of idealism Tyrion general there was this whole Bucha with Cersei. Waris all turned traitor - and it is not known yet WHEN, how long ago, and in retrospect his treason influenced his advice.

Common sense also cries out to us that, that the Royal Harbor - this is the most, sorry, rotten, most timeserving and cowardly city Seven Kingdoms. There are people, are constantly trying to "break between streams" - they do not care, who ruled over them, they are indifferent to the change of dynasties on the Iron Throne, they are not satisfied with civil wars for "Guelph" or "Ghibellines", them comfortable in slavery, they, As rightly observed Daenerys, do not even try to revolt. The only attempt of reflection residents of the capital - is the emergence of High Sparrow and his Red Guards, which obviously did not become Pol Pot just because, that Cersei zagenotsidila them before. Human material - very so-so. But Daenerys has learned to deal Essose, that other, who freed from the shackles, then again, they themselves strive to pull. So the slaves there is no better slave owners - they are just as corrupt. With the likes of the new society can not be built.

important, and in some ways even decisive circumstance, It is the general solution to all the inhabitants of King's Landing to ignore the war with the King of the Night and its non-living Army. One righteous (and the name of Jaime Lanister) somehow not enough to justify criminal cowardice of the capital's residents in the face of a common mortal danger.

And this, note, we did not say a word about the subjective motivation Daenerys! But human feelings, which has just been killed in the eyes of the best (and only) girlfriend and mother, have lost his child (Daenerys - Mother of Dragons is not in a figurative sense) also considerable cost.

Summarizing all the above,, we can say something else, goes beyond the medieval paradigm. The fifth episode of the eighth season of "Game of Thrones" was an attempt to reflection of American cinema as American policy - the policy of "big stick", aircraft carrier, «250 000 tons of diplomacy "and the like. In Daenerys "stick" - the biggest, it specifically in this series have made so great, that even in spite of all the laws of physics Drakarisa flame received a laser-plasma-explosive effect, razing a thick stone walls. And the authors of this series how to ask us a question: okay, "Baton" - nowhere else, well beyond that? Is it possible to swing right and left? knowing, as the United States behave for more than a hundred years - response: can. So that even the idea of ​​directors, if not consciously, subconsciously justify Daenerys.

Overall, from whatever side you look, Daenerys Burerozhdonnaya behaved logically, reasonable and consistent, in the spirit of our crazy time, demonstrate the, there, where the end of the game, gossip, plots and other psevdotsivilizatsionnaya husks no Javelina on the towers and mercenaries under the walls of impostors will not help against the fiery breath of real power.
