When I tell someone today that I don’t follow or enjoy Game of Thrones, GOT as popularly known, because it confuses me, they treat me like an outcast. GOT is one of the most popular shows right now. With so many things happening in each episode it is pretty easy to get lost somewhere.
This is an interesting network graph, which represents the connection of all characters mentioned in an episode. a network graph shows the connection between two things. There are nodes and if they are related, they are joined by a path. Here, each character is a node and the connections are the lines joining them. The color represents the affiliation of each character. The size of the node represents how frequently each character was mentioned. More so,it is combined with the twitter analysis and it also shows the smiley used most frequently with each character.
For example, in this episode, Robb and Walder were mentioned together and it symbolizes a heartbreak over Rob. We see the big red node; indicating that Daenerys was mentioned for the maximum number of times.
What I did not understand is the size of the lines joining the characters. Some are joined with thick gray lines, some with red, some with light purple and that is something I was not able to interpret why.
