Chapter 27 Game of Thrones Concept of Good and Evil and Some Customs

Readers laughed at Epilepsy and asked two questions in the comment area, I will answer them first.

Do nobles work part-time and whether Yule can inherit the title and territory after killing Arthur.

The first one is to travel to the southern region of Westeros continent where the seven gods are believed. The nobles should add a prefix of armed.

"Armed" nobles are their real titles.

The social division of labor of these aristocrats is a division of labor that integrates all violent institutions such as the army, police, and urban management.

What the noble family needs to do is to ensure that the citizens will not accept any violent invasion by forces other than the lord.

The citizens only need to pay taxes on time to get the protection of the lord.

Moreover, Westeros is divided into territories. The upper-level nobles will protect the territories of the lower-level nobles from being invaded by others, but those who escaped from the territory will not be able to control them.

To be precise, they do not have a household registration system (should only Chinese-speaking people have a household registration system), but because the cost of moving is too high, they are not in circulation.

Combining these two points, it seems that nobles are working in a sense.

Similar to the positioning of a collie.

The second question, if Yule kills Arthur, he will be exiled to the Great Wall as a man in black.

This is also closely related to armed nobles.

In order to maintain the power of the family and reduce the internal friction caused by internal fighting among members, the behavior of a certain heir to kill the family governor to obtain an inherited family will be resisted by the whole continent.

First, it really violated the interests of the duke and earls.

Second, it violated the unspoken rules of inheritance law.

Thirdly, this kind of internal fighting will greatly consume the strength of the family, giving the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of it.

In order to ensure the strength of the family, the nobles did everything possible. The custom of positioning the second son as a warrior, and the culture that the youngest son was called the adopted son as a hostage, all drained the value of the family members.

In such an atmosphere, if an heir can inherit by killing the house governor, then all heirs will have ideas.

So as long as there is one case, it will be firmly suppressed.

Such thousands of years of practice made the second sons rather go out to be mercenaries than return to their own family to rebel.

The Blackfyre Rebellion of the Targaryen dynasty is another matter, which was actually a conflict detonated by the feud between the Reach, the Stormlands and Dorne.

These two questions have been answered.

Thanks again for the reward and the monthly pass.

The following is the Game of Thrones view of good and evil:

If you divide order, neutrality, chaos, kindness, neutrality, and evil into nine grids.

The view of good and evil in Game of Thrones that the Ice Fire author wants to express is absolutely neutral.

This is manifested in killing, that is, you can only kill the person who killed you, and revenge for blood relatives.

People who have nothing to do with the life and death of other people have no right to interfere.

Eddard Stark meddled in the deserter's death, and he was meddled in the same way.

But those who read our novels are all Chinese-speaking people, so this concept of good and evil is a bit in conflict.

For the Chinese people, the good and evil spectrum of the vast majority of people is kind and neutral, and swings between kind order and kind chaos with different events.

There is a flexible spectrum of good and evil.

For example, when the Lord Qingtian is eager to be the master of the people, it is kindness and order.

But princes and generals, when Ning has kindness, the kindness is chaotic (this is also considered the kindness camp, because it occupies the moral high ground to fight for itself).

In this kind of culture, people like Ren Xia and Grand Robber who rob the rich and help the poor, and rob houses will get the sympathy and understanding of most people.

For example, one hundred and eight heroes in Liangshan are actually one hundred and eight villains, but in public opinion, they are not extremely evil.

Even Lu Zhishen, the only hero, had a few lives in his hands.

But he has the roots of wisdom. The abbot said that it was not easy for him to kill and set fire, and he was not mocking him, because he really jumped out of the category of a hero in the end.

And it's not uncommon to have a flexible spectrum of good and evil.

Song Jiang did justice for the sky, and ran to Tokyo to stick his ass to Song Huizong.

Another example is the part of Guan Yu Megatron Huaxia.The bandits of Liang, Jia, and Lu Hun received the seal of Yu from a distance, and branched out for them.

This group of green forest thieves actually responded to another separatist force and instantly changed their spectrum into the order camp.

We may think such behavior is normal, but it does not conform to Quanyou's concept of good and evil.

I think the value orientation of good and evil that Martin wants to express is very similar to a movie.

Forrest Gump.

Forrest Gump inside, whoever treats him well, he will treat him well; whoever treats him badly, he will run away, stay away from the person who treats him badly, instead of fighting back.

Of course, he will also beat people, but this is when Jenny is being bullied (he thinks), this kind of revenge in the West can be considered blood relatives.

It is just and moral.

Later Jenny did become his family.

The revenge of our blood relatives was abolished as early as the early Western Han Dynasty, because it did not conform to the ruling order of Confucianism as the skin and Legalism as the interior.

Revenge by blood gives the beheaded criminal's family a legitimate justification for revenge.

And considering that most of Qiu Hou Wen's beheadings were ordered by the emperor, the target of revenge became the supreme ruler.

This was a disaster for the stability of order, so it was abandoned in a hurry.

Many people said that it was a bit poisonous for me not to kill the bandits pretended by Brynden and others, but I think it is normal not to kill them.

They didn't kill the villagers of He'an Village first. This was just a dispute, not just revenge from the lord.

But after Santaga murdered, the lord, as a family member in a certain sense (parents and officials), he can "revenge by blood relatives".

The above is my opinion, if in doubt, you are right.
