Lysa Arryn
Kate Dickie’s depiction of Lysa Arryn in the show stirred a notable online controversy when she appeared nursing her child, Robin, effectively highlighting the series’ proclivity for boundary-pushing scenes. The show’s decision to present this unsettling moment served as a testament to its willingness to tackle uncomfortable and unconventional subject matter.
On the other hand, the portrayal of Lysa in George R. R. Martin’s books deviates significantly from Kate Dickie’s interpretation. In the literary realm, Lysa’s description paints a picture of her once possessing great beauty, but over time, substantial physical changes have affected her appearance, making her become “thick and puffy” due to pregnancy-related issues. Nonetheless, despite these variances, Lysa’s character retains the unmistakable air of judgment and instability that defines her.
