Document Summary

The purpose of this essay is to discuss how the different people in the television series interact with each other and discern whether there are any hierarchies or conflicts as depicted in the plot. The plot is set up in such a way that the societal structure divides the society into seven kingdoms, which is a reflection of the feudal system of ancient europe. In principle, this social structure consists of kings, lords, and the peasants (battis & johnston, 2015). The privileged, in this case the kings and lords, have political authority, and rule over the peasants within their territory through a system sworn oaths. Additionally, the common people owe military loyalty and service to their lords in return for security and land to till.
