The rest of us have to wait until the next year to find how HBO’s TV show ‘Game of thrones’ ends, expect the fortunate cast and crew members. The most pressing of these questions are about the survival of our favourite characters. Maisie Williams who plays Arya Stark, one of the most important characters, just finished shooting her spell of the series finale and she might be trying to tell something to her fans. In an Instagram post, Maisie wrote, “Goodbye Belfast. Goodbye Arya. Goodbye Game of Thrones. What a joy I’ve had. Here’s to the adventures to come.” But that’s not all she wrote. In a series of hashtags, Maisie also added, “#LastWomanStanding”. Does this mean all other female characters are dead? While Arya is one of the most important characters of the show, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) and Cersie Lannister (Lena Headey) are just some of the other strong female faces in Game of Thrones. Maisie’s revelation could easily mean that the other female characters have been killed. However, in signature Game of Thrones style, it seems like there’s more to just Arya being the “last woman standing”. Lena commented on Maisie’s Instagram post. She wrote, “Queen,” followed by a crown emoji. Now, could that mean that Arya will be the one to take over the Iron Throne? Only time will tell. Published in Daily Times, July 9th 2018.
