Author George RR Martin recalled a specific chapter from “A Song of Ice and Fire”, the literary saga that gave rise to the “Game of Thrones” series, which was painful for him to write.
And yes, we are talking about the Red Wedding. talking to the The independentMartin commented on the experience of writing such a chapter in “A Storm of Swords,” the third book in the unfinished series which is expected to have a total of seven volumes.
“I finished the whole book, except for the Red Wedding. This was such a painful chapter to write, losing some of the characters I have come to know and love. “” For nine years I have been with these characters and now I would have killed them horribly! This was hard. “
The chapter in question is played in the HBO series “Game of Thrones” in episode 9 of season 3, called “The Rains of Castamere”. It is one of the most famous moments in both the series and the books, culminating in the sudden and unexpected death of some of the most important characters in history up to that point.
“It was a horrible chapter and it annoys people,” the author continued. “It makes people angry, it makes people sad. People throw the book against the wall or into the fireplace. When it was on TV, it had the same effect on tens of thousands, if not millions, of people. In my opinion, this is good. We’re talking about death here! “
Martin continued with a long reflection on death and what the chapter represents. “All of us in our real life experience death. Your parents die. Your best friend dies. Sometimes, in a truly tragic situation, your children die or your wife or husband dies. It’s terrible. It hits you. It makes you angry, it makes you sad. In our entertainment, television, movies, books, over the centuries, as it has evolved, death is often treated very chivalrously. Someone is dead, we have a mystery and the detective has to find out who did it. We never consider who the corpse is, or what his life was like … what it will be like without him. If I’m going to write a death scene, especially for the main characters, I want the reader to feel it. This is what the Red Wedding, I believe, has managed to accomplish. People felt that death ”.
“Game of Thrones” was a huge hit in its first few seasons, but ended up with a less-than-optimal reception from fans and critics alike as the books ran out and showrunners David Benioff and DB Weiss have run out of writing material. adapt, after all, the book series remains unfinished to this day, while “Game of Thrones” had its final season in 2019.
George RR Martin is currently working on the sixth book in the saga, “The Winds of Winter”, and is assisting in the production of a “Game of Thrones” prequel series, entitled “House of the Dragon”, and is heavily involved in this new production. . .
“Game of Thrones” is available in full on HBO Max, while “House of the Dragon” will premiere on August 21st.
