Nosa Senhora Desatadora dos Nós (Mary Untier of knots) is a Marian devotion popular in South America. It is believed that she is able to untie small everyday problems and unresolved questions. The devotion stems from a painting byJohann Georg Melchior Schmidtner, from ca. 1700. The painting was commissioned by Pater Rem, who according to the painting’s story, commissioned it due to his grandparents matrimonial issues. When his grandfather Wolfgang Langenmantel (1586–1637) was about to separate from his wife Frau Sophia Rentz (1590–1649), Pater Rem prayed in front of a Marian image and said: „In diesem religiösen Akt erhebe ich das Band der Ehe, löse alle Knoten und glätte es.“ After that, according to the story, the peace returned between the spouses and the separation didn’t take place. Pater Rem commissioned the painting ‘Knotenlöserin’ (The Untier) as a reminder of this event.

The marriage-knot or knot of Hercules

This custom is the likely origin of the phrase “tying the knot.” According to Roman lore, the knot symbolized the legendary fertility of the God Hercules(Herakles).
Hellenistic Herakles knot used to have power to cure wounds.

In the Game of thrones Daenerys Targaryen called as “Breaker of Chains” after freeing the Slaves of the city from Meereen. Not just colonial characteristics of chains but I would like to think about the revenge notion in this contemporary popular culture reference.

What is the motivation of the viewer about revenge in real life and how this example satisfies them?

Audre Lorde wrote, “… survival is not an academic skill. It is learning how to stand alone, unpopular and sometimes reviled, and how to make common cause with those others identified as outside the structures in order to define and seek a world in which we can all flourish. It is learning how to take our differences and make them strengths. For the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house. They may allow us temporarily to beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change. And this fact is only threatening to those women who still define the master’s house as their only source of support.”
