Where is Hitler Archetype?


I read that GOT is about different types of leaders. I noticed there is no Hitler type leader who has killed based on religion, race or ethnicity which is common throughout history. Is it an oversight on Martins' behalf or didn't he want to go there?

Cersei.

Cersei isn't motivated by race, religion or ethnicity. Neither was Aerys The Mad king for that matter. There really isn't a Hitler archetype. The closest would be The High Sparrow. But he didn't live long enough to become a genocidal madman.

Your answer is already on the poster of S7. GOT don't need Hitler type leader, It has Night King! Who wants to every living being dead!!! Hitler is infant compare to this desire.

a persuasive charismatic orator who was an insecure genocidal egomaniac? Yeah they don't have one of them. Lol. He is on the show "preacher" though. You gotta watch that show too. He shows up in the second season in hell
