The paper highlights the importance of social network analysis in analyzing and mining useful information from the data across various domains. It provides an insight into need, importance and scope of Social Network Analysis. With the use of Social networking tool like NetworkX, data is being represented in the form of graph or network which is then analyzed in a more efficient way making it easier to study the interactions between different persons in Game of thrones and establishing trends existing in a network.
