The brutal realism of Game of Thrones lends itself well to tragic stories. The world of Westeros is a harsh one that's only worsened by the ongoing political conflict that the promise of the Iron Throne carries with it. GoT's most tragic characters are very often those who are simply caught up in the war for the Iron Throne even despite not having any aspirations for it themselves.
