Will explore the archetypes of the characters.
The course is called “the Real game of thrones from modern myths to medieval models.”
During the study it says, a book series and the television series reflect, adapt and distort the history and culture of the medieval world of Eurasia.
Also includes study of a number of “archetypal characters”, in particular, of the king, the good wife, adventure seeker, and the like. The analogues look in medieval history, literature, religion and legends. The main source of course will be the biographies of medieval kings.
