Abstract
The paper is based on the assumption that the balance of positive and negative, aggression and
nurturing, or plus and minus results in the ultimate annihilation of the existence of both. 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.”
