The duality balance results in opposite reaction. The plus becomes minus and the minus becomes a plus. This is presented by the feminine becoming masculine, understood through Hofstede’s (2001) division into masculine and feminine cultures, by taking on the traditional male role, ultimately killing the feminine, being no-one and thus becoming death impersonated contrasted with assigning attributes to concepts fully understood through themselves. This will be based on the female character Arya Stark in J.R.R. Martin’s popular series “A Song of Ice and Fire” and its adaptation in “Game of Thrones.”}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={One Annihilates the Other, One Cannot Exist Without the Other: Death Becomes Her}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/107324/PDF/KN%202-18%203-A.Bednarek.pdf}, keywords={culture, masculinity, femininity, personification of death, domination, annihilation}, }
