“The stories are too vast, the characters too complex,” she said. But Clarke said she always knew the series could not please everyone. I wanted so much for that to be the last memory of her.”ĭaenerys’s decision to raze King’s Landing upset a lot of fans-and the finale bewildered plenty of them as well. I wanted to show her as we saw her in the beginning: young, naïve, childlike, open, and full of love and hope. If you see abuse in someone young, they often are able to mentally leave the room. And yet our brains are fascinating in the way that they find a fast route to feel O.K., whether you’re relying on a substance or you’re mildly deluded. I don’t enjoy fans calling me ‘the Mad Queen.’ But she is so far gone in grief, in trauma, and in pain. “It’s not that I wanted to show her as ‘mad,’ because I really don’t like that word. “I wanted to play a game with what the scene was about,” Clarke said. But Jon Snow rejected her right before the attack on King’s Landing-and that rejection, Clarke said, was the thing that finally “breaks her as a human being.” Yet when acting in her final scene-Daenerys basically proposing world domination to Jon-Clarke said she still wanted to show a softer, more layered side to Dany. That’s what compelled her to sacrifice so much in pursuit of what she thought was a noble cause. “Every time I was faced with Daenerys having to do something pretty cold, like a mass killing, it was always with this thought that she’s headed toward her destiny,” Clarke said of her character’s reasoning.
