[EVERYTHING] The Four Horsemen of Westeros

Daenerys, Jon Snow, Cersei and The Night King are all easily comparable to the Four Horsemen.

Let me start with the first and most obvious one, which is that the Night King represents Death. Seeing as he is basically a ice-zombie himself and commands hordes of undead soldiers, i would say this one is pretty obvious.

The next one is Daenerys representing Conquest. We all know the Targaryens are pretty fond of conquering (Aegon the I anyone?) and Dany is no different. Since season 1 (and the first book) she's done nothing but conquer cities, tribes and setting free slaves. She even has 3 dragons as Aegon the Conqueror did which can be used to draw parallels.

The third one is Jon Snow, who is representing War. Think about it, Jon has done nothing but fight his whole life; dealing with the issue of being a bastard, having no mother, joining the nights watch and after that a literal war against wildlings/The Others and their wights/the Boltons. He is also an excellent warrior.

The last one is Cersei representing Famine. I'll admit I had to think a bit about this one but if you will allow me I will use a quote from Karl Marx; Religion is the opium of the masses. Guess what she robbed the masses from? Since she basically killed off the main branch of House Tyrell and since the Lannisters have declared war against them, the Kingdoms that are loyal to Cersei will starve.
