Explain how at least one of these *Literary characteristics (focus mostly on both the tone and mood)* is employed in the poems and how it contributes to the overall message in both of the poems.
land fought against the English crown; also, Robb Stark declared himself as the King in the North and freed the area from the Seven Kingdoms “From this time until the end of time, we are free and independent kingdom.” (Benioff, 2013)
One of the most gruesome chapters of the saga is the Red Wedding, where Starks were betrayed by other families that were supposed to be supporting Robb Stark’s cause during the War of the Five Kings. The King in the North and his mother were slaughtered by Walder Frey and his subordinates during a wedding festivity in The Twins (Martin, 2000: 481, 482). This incident resembles the Black Dinner, where the Clan Douglas leaders were arrested and killed during an assembly with the Scottish monarch. The dinner was prearranged by other Scottish clans who deceived the Douglasses who used to trust them (BBC, 2014a). The greatest battle during the War of the Five Kings is the Battle of the Blackwater Bay (Martin, 1998: 514). The armada of Stannis Baratheon sought to besiege King’s Landing. However, the defenses of the city accompanied by the support of House Tyrell and a wildfire attack, burned the fleet and secured Kings landing (Martin, 1998: 515). Likewise, the Siege of Constantinople was carried out by fleets and Greek fire (Comneno, 1989).
Additionally, The Dothrak’s expansion and culture are correlate the Mongol Empire. They embody the menace from the East with an exotic basis. Their most significant features are that both are wanderers who live to invade (Sissiyomar, 2013). Also, their societies are established in a meritocracy system where the leader is esteemed and equally feared. This headman received a unique title—Kan for Mongol sand Khal for Dothrak’s—which have the same sonority (Martin, 1996).
