Ser Alliser Thorne, one of the brother of the Night’s
Watch, is characterized as someone who is very keen of being on Power. For
instance, he captures the post of Lord Commander, when Lord Commander Jeor
Mormont was killed by his own fellow men under the same roof beyond the wall,
becoming the acting Lord Commander.
Ser Alliser Thorne even loses the election for Lord
Commander to Jon Snow, who was very renowned for his bravery. Ser Alliser never
liked Jon Snow because he knew that someone else was becoming smarter than him
and someday he might get even more popular than Ser Alliser himself.
Ser Alliser was offended of his opinion, when the
998th LC of the Night’s Watch, Jon Snow lets the wildlings through
the tunnel. Ser Alliser even tries to kill the LC by shoving a knife in his
heart. Later on Jon Snow comes back to life and hangs him up. In this way Ser
Alliser’s story ends.
In conclusion, he can be characterized as every
other character in this famous play, who is always hungry of power and rule. He
later on receives his fate as a death.
