Abstract
In this thesis, I will be examining George R. R. Martin’s series, A Song of Ice and Fire (1993--), and its television adaptation, A Game of Thrones (2011-2019). Using a feminist lens, I will be addressing how the adaptation figuratively and literally strips agency from empowered female characters in the novel through portrayals of rape and blatant suppression of the characters, Daenerys Targaryen, Sansa Stark, and Catelyn Stark.
