Opinion: Elizabeth Warren, Mother of Dragons? Her 'Game of Thrones' essay stumbles into a trap.
Emilia Clarke as Daenerys Targaryen in the final season of"Game of Thrones.
Daenerys? Really? Okay, yes, Warren argues that her interest in “Thrones” is “about the women,” so that counts a few favorites out. But there’s always Sansa Stark, who amid everyone else’s grand ambitions and army-raising wants to make sure her people have something to eat. There’s the oath-keeping Brienne of Tarth, or even Arya, whose interventions into injustice at least are more, uh, targeted.
Daenerys, also called Dany, does say she wants to destroy the system as it is known, or, in her words, “break the wheel.” But watchers are supposed to wonder how much she means it. She’s eager to end slavery in the faraway lands of Essos, but she seems significantly less interested in ending the monarchy in Westeros.
Daenerys didn’t have to torch a whole field of Lannister soldiers to prove her supremacy. She had the Dothraki for that, and the dragons could have been a last resort rather than a first. She also didn’t have to barbecue the Tarlys when they had already been brought to surrender.
