Generally speaking this is very cool (to nerdy Anglophile prisses, I mean. Tywin Lannister, Lord of Casterly Rock and Warden of the West, is played with a posh southern accent by the great Charles Dance. Eddard Stark, the Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North, is played by Sheffield's own Sean Bean, sporting his native northern English accent. This is because Americans are still unconvinced that England is a real country, and associate English speech patterns with kings and magic and sorcery and frequent stabbings.īut Game of Thrones takes its accents a step further: Its characters in speak in several different English accents, and often those accents correspond to to the real-world geography of Britain. Like most fantasy television shows, Game of Thrones is largely populated by English actors speaking with English accents.
Today, we are thinking about inconsistent regional accent use in the HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones.
