Abstract
The representation of gender and power relations of female characters is an important area in studies of multimodality. The TV series Game of Thrones , produced by HBO, achieved high notoriety in 2011, becoming a worldwide phenomenon. The object of the present study is Daenerys Targaryen , a character who has a significant role in the narrative, enduring a drastic transformation throughout the first season of the TV series. Based on the grammar of visual design (KRESS; VAN LEEWUEN, 2006), the study analyzed twelve screenshots from six different scenes from the first season of the series. Results show a change in terms of agency, empowerment and independence of the character sustained by her visual representation. Also, from a critical perspective, the study raises issues about feminine representation in the media and notions of gender and culture.
