Adaptation

The first episode of Game of Thrones was a very great adaptation and offered a great view into the Game of Thrones made into real life. Obviously being that this an adaptation of the book I could not have seen every scene from the chapter, however there were several parts that I found to be perfectly enlightening about the characters without having to actually say the words. For instance we read constantly about Catelyn’s strong dislike of Jon Snow, because of the way that Ned brought him home. At several distinct points during the show we see Catelyn glare at Jon though he is not paying her any attention. The look that we see from Catelyn conveys all the dislike that she has for him in all of her sections in just one scene. Her attitude is also very telling as we watch Jon hack at a dummy and tell his uncle that Lady Stark thought that allowing a bastard to attend the feast would shame their family. All of these actions show how much she seems to hate Jon who’s only crime against her was being born and being brought to Winterfell. The scenes of the show accurately reflect the text that we’ve read.
