Most of the major characters in Game of Thrones died for the same reason... 1 / 8
Even though they suffered different kinds of deaths, they all revolved around the same thing... 2 / 8
Being near-sighted in their goals and putting all of their eggs into one basket, so to speak. 3 / 8
For example, Lord Varys put all of his cards into the realm from the beginning, never budging... 4 / 8
And Jaime's goals were only ever about his sister, Cersei (aside for when he had to fight the White Walkers). 5 / 8
There's a running theme throughout all of the major characters, proving their inability to look beyond a single goal sealed their fates. 6 / 8
There are, of course, exceptions, but this rings true for most of the main characters. 7 / 8
In the end, Game of Thrones is a cautionary tale about the unwillingness to compromise and evolve. 8 / 8
