Undoubtedly, Lord Littlefinger is hateful and hateful in the eyes of most people, so what I am going to provide next is proof.
What kind of person is this? In my opinion this is a puzzling man, a man whose ultimate purpose you have no way of knowing, and in some ways, Lord Littlefinger is a bit like the Joker from The Dark Knight, because they It seems that none of them have a clear wish to get, they simply want to see the chaotic world. Such people are utterly dangerous, and they have no dead ends.
First of all, Lord Littlefinger is a very intelligent person, which is basically nonsense, but I want to emphasize that he is intelligent and not driven by emotional desires. What does that mean? Let's look at an example, Littlefinger wasn't as scary as we see it now when he was young, he liked Kate as we all know, when it was learned that Kate had a relationship with Brandon Stark (Ned's older brother, later died of King Aerys' madness Burning) actually proposed a duel with Brandon when they got engaged. This is completely the behavior of a young man with a dash of blood and anger. Of course, Littlefinger was defeated and left a terrible scar (mentioned in the play. arrive). In the play, Littlefinger mentioned his feeling of failure in the duel, to the effect that he knew that he could not kill the enemy in the duel arena, so he tried to kill the enemy with his wisdom behind his back. This was his only stupid act driven by sensual desire, and since then, his intelligence has never been driven by sensibility again. "Little Devil" Tyrion describes himself as the smartest in the Seven Kingdoms. Compared with Littlefinger, his intelligence cannot get rid of his feelings.
Littlefinger's intelligence is based on cruelty, and his cruelty is not bloody, but cold and biting. Let’s look at an example. The first thing to tell is a woman who likes Littlefinger-Lisa Tully. This woman is Caitlyn’s younger sister and Jon Arryn, the prime minister of the Seven Kingdoms who died at the beginning of the series. The widow, Lysa and Kate and Littlefinger grew up and wrote a love triangle. Because of Lysa's love, Jon Arryn promoted Littlefinger all the way until the latter became the Chancellor of the Seven Kingdoms. In return, Littlefinger used Lysa's love for him to instigate her to poison her husband, Jon Arryn, and then put the blame on the Lannister family, which eventually intensified the conflict between Stark and Lannister. For a Bole that he knew, Littlefinger's reward was to poison him with his wife, and then use this incident to provoke the relationship between the two families, and eventually lead to a civil war. Judging from a series of events, Jon Arryn's Death is like a key, which directly leads to a chain reaction of subsequent stories, including Ned's death, Robert's death, and a series of events. Littlefinger once gave Ned the correct advice to avoid a total war, but Ned didn't listen to it. It can be seen that he understood Ned's character thoroughly, so we have reason to suspect that the correct advice was just a temptation for Ned. Ned The final result of being beheaded has more intentional hints to Joffrey behind his back. Therefore, Littlefinger's cruelty has no motive and emotional factor, he just wants to see chaos.
However, Littlefinger once mentioned that sometimes for the ultimate purpose, it is necessary to do things that have no purpose and no interest to him as a cover. It can be seen that in Littlefinger’s heart, there is still a purpose, which not only makes us feel for the future The plot is full of expectations. Judging from the events that have happened, Littlefinger's series of actions are all preparatory. First of all, after provoking the war, facing the precarious situation of the party in power, he did several things. First, he went to see Kate. , persuaded Kate to release James for her daughter. The chain reaction of this incident directly caused Robb's initial advantage to be wiped out, indirectly affecting Robb's prestige in the army, and laying a hidden danger for the "Red Wedding"; second, Matched "Rose" and "Lion" to form an alliance and finally won the Battle of Blackwater. The beneficiary of this incident was Littlefinger. He inherited Fort Harren without any loss and became one of the great nobles; During the period of "Minister", he shorted the treasury and buried long-term hidden dangers for King's Landing. At the same time, he used the war to find a good escape route for himself; fourth, he took the initiative to ask to marry Lysa Tully, in exchange for the support of the "Valley" for the king, which was actually Littlefinger for himself. The way back, this way, is perfect, that is to get rid of the center of the storm of the power struggle - King's Landing, and get the valley that has never participated in the war from beginning to end. Shorting the national treasury, and grasping the war materials, and the Eagle's Nest City in the valley is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as the war escalates, he can attack and retreat, and can support any party, and he can replace it after losing both sides, leaving him the subject. It is "to control the inside and look outside" - to obtain the actual dominion of the valley, and then sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.
Littlefinger isn't satisfied with the long wait, why? Because he ignited the fuse that he carefully planted at the last moment of leaving King's Landing. Joffrey's death is Littlefinger's masterpiece of repeating the old tricks of "Rose" and "Lion" after provoking a fight between "Wolf" and "Lion". Even my favorite Queen of Thorns was put together by Littlefinger. It can be speculated that the reason why the Queen of Thorns teamed up with Littlefinger to kill Joffrey actually did not want the lion to gain power. The reason why she thought the lion would win is because of Sansa's marriage. , why would you notice Sansa's marriage? First, it's a matter of time, and second, it's Littlefinger's intentional push. Littlefinger knew from a long time that Sansa likes the Knight of Hundred Flowers, and knew that both parties would fight for Sansa. What she had to do was to cause misunderstanding between the two parties. It can be imagined that Sansa and Rose have hit it off, one is willing to marry, and the other is originally married. So Littlefinger sold a loophole and sold his intention to take Sansa to Varys. In fact, he deliberately promoted the process of competing for Sansa between the two sides. When Rose wanted to start first, Littlefinger promptly took them away. He told the lion about his intention, which led Tyrion to marry Sansa first. After that, Littlefinger joined forces with "Rose" to kill the king, put the blame on Tyrion, and actually liberated Sansa. This is also the "Rose" hope saw. At this point, Littlefinger won again. Throughout the incident, Littlefinger single-handedly directed the intensification of the conflict between the two parties, and everyone became his pawns, intentionally or unintentionally. Blaming Tyrion can be described as killing two birds with one stone. The death of the king will inevitably make the kingdom fall into a power struggle again. Tyrion will lose power, the lion will inevitably fall into civil strife, and the rose will inevitably rise up and join the power struggle. Taking advantage of the chaos and taking the "Key to the North"——Sansa Stark.
In the valley, Littlefinger calmly killed Lysa Tully, who adored him, in order to seize the supreme dominion of the valley. After arranging other vassals in the valley, he has become the actual ruler of the valley, sitting on a productive valley. , holding the key to the north, the important thing is that all this comes from his huge investment, he has played all the people with his cruel wisdom without any loss, in the game of thrones, littlefinger He is the only person who can see what power is. He knows how to use limited power and reject unlimited power. He is not driven by the desire for power. In fact, he is just laughing at power and playing with power. Yes, this is only for master-level characters.
In my eyes, Mr. Littlefinger is a teacher. His control and grasp of the desire for power is worth learning. There are not many people who are not driven by desire. Life is the process of human beings being enslaved by desire. I hate a master like that. In Ice and Fire, my favorite character is him, Petyr Baelish. The above evidence is actually the reason why I like him, and the reason why people hate him.

    I finally finished watching it all... In the case that all the characters are very aggrieved, only the Dragon Mother is more refreshing. The most anticipated bloody wedding and the little devil's counterattack this season are only the previous one. The rose family is a talented person. In the next season, I look forward to the reunion of the wolf family, the rose riding the lion, and the little devil completing his great cause of killing his father and mother... It seems that I am still too stupid and sweet = =

    This season's new character, the old lady of Gao Ting, is even more brilliant than the little skin. It's a good season to mess with mandarin ducks, free love is risky, and arranged marriages are even more worrying. The names Longma gave to the three dragons made me cry so loudly: son, husband, and brother. The bloody wedding is extremely terrifying and wonderful. It uses the oath as a straw to save life, but uses the lie of justice to block the arrow of selfish desire and trample it under the foot. The chain of the oath finally brings a cruel death.
