‘GOT finale will be incredible for women’

Maisie Williams has promised that the much-awaited finale of Game of Thrones will be ‘incredible’ for women. The 21-year-old actress, best known as Arya Stark in the hit HBO series, said as the show progressed, the female characters have grown from strength-to-strength and staked their claim to positions of power.

“For me, Game of Thrones is a medieval world in which women don’t have a lot of rights, yet they still prevail. But I do think that as the seasons have gone on, it’s become more and more amazing for women. And this final season is going to be incredible. It just feels great, being on set with all these girls. They’re all ruling, you know, they’re all back on top — it’s pretty impressive,” Williams said.

The actress, who has featured in the series since its inception in 2011, said she wanted to sail through all the seasons. “Season one to eight, that’s what I wanted. I was in the first episode and I want to be in the last,” she added. — PTI
