In House of the Dragon, how much does working to keep the peace actually lead to more violence.
Spoiler alert for the first two episodes.House of the Dragon
Both of the first episodes of the show contain incredible but pointed violence. In the first, the king’s brother Daemon has built a brutal police state that stages a mass mutilation and murder spree without trial in the capital. Later, he attempts to usurp his niece’s position as heir to the throne by stealing a dragon egg and taunting a delegation with his own dragon.
He is so desperate to preserve status quo, that he continuously fails to see what all heads of state eventually must: peace can be violence, too. It’s a problem that has plagued Democratic presidents for years. Then came Biden and the withdrawal from Afghanistan. Despite the fact that Americans have called for the end of military involvement in the region for decades, few were prepared for the violence that accompanied that exit. While there are certainly criticisms of the manner of the withdrawal, it was always going to be a bloody disaster.
