The TransformationGame of Thrones is a book series written by George RR Martin, HBO transformed the books into one of the most watched cable television series today . The book takes place in a fantasy world that somewhat resembles what we call medieval times. The story follows a large group of characters as they all fight to conquer the "Iron Throne" to rule the land. This article will follow the story of Daenerys Targaryen during the first season as she attempts to regain her family's throne. As his journey continues, we'll analyze how his story conforms to and later resists common themes of the genre. Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen takes on many roles in the series. She goes from a sex object to later a powerful and ruthless Iron Maiden. All the transformations happen very quickly as she changes in front of the public eye. The first time Daenerys appears on screen, people see an 18-20 year old young woman with bleached blonde hair, no more than a minute later her dress falls to the floor, revealing her breasts to the viewer as she enters a bath. She is about to see him as a husband for the first time, she can't wait to see if he will accept her. Daenerys is given as a gift to Khal Drogo in order to help his brother Viserys get closer to the crown. Daenerys is treated as property, the same way a clay pot or a piece of gold is, instead of being her brother's property it would become Drogo's. Viserys makes sure to tell Daenerys that she better please Drogo, sexually, otherwise the "gift" would have been a bad gift. It was very common in medieval times in England, once married to a man, both a woman and a man became celibate. .
