About this deal

Although the series's first season closely follows the events of the first novel, there were significant changes made for later seasons. According to Benioff, the TV adaptation is "about adapting the series as a whole and following the map George laid out for us and hitting the major milestones, but not necessarily each of the stops along the way". [32] Aspects of the novels' plots and their adaptations are based upon settings, characters, and events in European history. [33] Most of Westeros is reminiscent of high medieval Europe, from its geography and castles to its cultures, the feudal system, palace intrigues, and the knights' tournaments. [34] [35] Like medieval Europe, most of the houses in the series use the patriarchal system of power. [36] The series also includes elements of gothic fiction, including torture tropes.

BBC News said in 2013 that "the passion and the extreme devotion of fans" had created a phenomenon, unlike anything related to other popular TV series, manifesting itself in fan fiction, [369] Game of Thrones-themed burlesque routines and parents naming their children after series characters; writers quoted attributed this success to the rich detail, moral ambiguity, sexual explicitness and epic scale of the series and novels. [370] The previous year, " Arya" was the fastest-rising girl's name in the US after it had jumped in popularity from 711th to 413th place. [371] The series has been praised by both television critics and historians for what was perceived as a sort of medieval realism. [15] [16] [17] George R. R. Martin set out to make the story feel more like historical fiction than contemporary fantasy, with less emphasis on magic and sorcery and more on battles, political intrigue, and the characters, believing that magic should be used moderately in the epic fantasy genre. [18] [19] [20] Martin has said that, "the true horrors of human history derive not from orcs and Dark Lords, but from ourselves". [21] Academics have classified the series as neo-medieval which focuses on the overlapping of medieval history and popular fantasy. [22] [23] [24] A common theme in the fantasy genre is the battle between good and evil, which Martin says does not mirror the real world. [25] Martin explores the relationship between good and evil through the questions of redemption and character change. [26] The series allows the audience to view different characters from their perspective, unlike in many other fantasies. [20] [27]
