Publisher's Synopsis
Visualizing Game of Thrones Personalities - Full Edition contains the spiritual portraits of 42 characters from the first seven seasons of the Game of Thrones television series on HBO. This Full Edition contains everything in the Mini-Ebook Edition plus a whole lot more, but looks better on displays bigger than those typically found on mobile devices.Building on the work of Carl Jung, Wassily Kandinsky, and Piet Mondrian, these abstract images use primary colors and rectangular shapes to represent the fundamental psychological preferences of the characters. The resulting abstract images have an open feel for open people, a warm feel for warm people, and a deep feel for imaginative people.Part I contains a full-size version of each of the 42 images organized by House. Accompanying each image is a short description of how the image expresses the personality of the character. These full-size images and the accompanying content are exclusive to this Full Edition and do not appear in the Mini-Ebook Edition.Part II contains pairs of images. Along with each of these pairs is a brief discussion of the character's personality as reflected in their image, and how similarities and differences in their preferences affect their relationship. Some pairs, such as Olenna and Margaery Tyrell, work well together despite their differences. Others, such as Melisandre and Davos Seaworth, have only contempt for one another. Many, such as Jaime and Brienne, and Arya and Sandor, come to learn they have more in common than they originally thought. This Full Edition contains several pairs not in the Mini-Ebook Edition.Part III looks at groups of similar images. Many of the characters are warriors and most of them are coldhearted, but there are some warm people in the brutal social climate in Westeros. Some characters are sweethearts but arguably the most interesting characters have deeper images because they can, unlike the warriors, see more than what is right in front of them. These images make these qualities - and the relative strengths of them - visible for the first time. Part III in this Full Edition includes considerably more content than the Mini-Ebook Edition.Part IV includes insights into patterns and motifs, such as siblings who are dissimilar, and includes a section examining the various ways women express their ambition in the harsh patriarchy of Westeros. Part IV is exclusive to the Full Edition and does not appear in the Mini-Ebook Edition.The images in this book make the invisible, universal preferences present in all people - and the relative strengths of them - visible for the first time.This book is revolutionary in that it is the first one by this author to be focused solely on visualizing personalities.
