The rightful queen of the seven kingdoms. I don't understand why everyone is calling Daenerys, the mad queen.
Isnt it the normal reaction? She had a traumatic childhood, an abusive brother who literally sold her to suitors in an attempt to reach the throne. She virtually rose to this level of championship, building brick by brick winning everybody's trust, freeing people from tyranny, passing through the fire test, not once but twice, giving rise to the age of dragons. She rose to that level by herself. It was her who had faith on the dragon eggs when everyone advised her to sell them off, she was the one who had faith, that one day, they would lead her to her freedom.
One must not forget, it's for her mercy that Jon and his company was saved from the night walkers the first time, leading to the fall of Visyrys, the first dragon. The battle of winterfell was long lost, without her assistance , in which she lost most of the Dothraki and Sir Jorah, who was probably one of her only well-wisher, in the true sense.
Most of the others she trusted, either betrayed her stabbing her in the back or showed cold resistance when their mission was accomplished, like Jon, even though they had played allegiance to her before the job was done, the battle of the long night. Whatever it takes to get your work done, right? The kind of hostility, she receives from the Stark family, even after she was defending their cause at a great cost to her was shocking. It was only because she was a noble queen. She could have just refused and torched the north to the grounds too. Afterall she was always a one man army.
Again look for instance her counsellors from King's Landing, always hatching plans to overthrow the order. Even in the end, Varys had been plotting to poison her to make Jon the king, and then after few days he would plot against him too. Nobody is perfect. I mean where is the end!
Daenerys saw her second dragon being shot from the sky by Euron's arrow and Missandi beheaded in front of her. Noone showed any merci then. Did the people of the KL show any mercy during Ned Stark's trial or even Cersei's walk? No, right? There's nothing called mercy. As she said, if not by love, then by fear it is. They rang the bell, but then what, had she stopped fighting they might have just killed her army and shot Drogon and Cersei might have remained the ruler. You can never trust anyone, not even your own men. And even if not that, they would have overthrown her in a short time and made Jon the ruler. Was that the ending she deserved?
The only mistake on her part, was she fell in love. Crazy things, people do for love. For which she lost everyone and probably would lose what she was destined for, in the final episode. Adios, Queen Daenerys Targaryen, you fought well and you showed path to many who are lost. π
