'I choose violence.'
In a sentiment that might be reiterated until the end of media itself, Game of Thrones Season 8 left a ruinous landscape in its wake. Practically every character fell victim to incoherent writing choices. In the best circumstances, a character simply went out with fanfare amounting to an underwhelming "kaput." In the worst case scenarios, their arcs were mangled so poorly that the remnants shriveled into dust out of embarrassment.
Cersei enters Season 1 as a reserved and cunning woman who just so happens to be committing incest with her twin brother on the regular and is probably plotting a coup to boot. One of the show's strongest points was permitting audiences an early and frequent glimpse into Cersei's interiority; A Song of Ice and Fire author George R.R. Martin didn't reveal Cersei's point-of-view until book four, A Feast for Crows.
Cersei’s Contradictory Humanity Made Her a Nuanced Character One of Cersei's most subversive facets is how the control she craves is an unconsciously aimless sort. Her goals slide into the ether beyond "secure the throne" and "retain the throne," and she isn't nearly as clever as she supposes herself. She mimics Tywin's behaviors without comprehending the mental gymnastics behind his chess game moves.
The abuse and marital rape she suffers while married to Robert Baratheon are just as appallingly real. Much like Sansa, Cersei fantasized about marrying a beautiful prince only to find married life — womanhood as a whole, even — another form of captivity, and another game she's forced to play. The walk of atonement that spawned a thousand memes serves as her life's culmination up to that point: degradation, violation, hatred, and left so bleeding and bruised she can barely crawl.
