A
big conflict in this reading is between Joeffry and Arya Stark. Joeffy tried to
fight the butcher’s son and Arya and ended up getting bitten by a direwolf. At
this point in the story it is clear that Joeffry is a bully and a coward. He
acted as though his encounter with the direwolf was a bigger deal than it truly
was. He and his mother had Lady, the direwolf, killed. Ned Stark did it himself
which continues to prove he is a man of honor.
In
Bran’s chapter he has a dream about flying and is talking to a crow. I know
there is some symbolism or foreshadowing going on with this dream. The crow
tells him he must live because winter is coming. I know there is something more
to it, but I do not know the meaning right now.
Catelyn
is at Kingslanding and we meet Little Fingers and Varys. I personally find
Varys interesting because he is a eunuch. It seems as though Martin has women
use sex as a way to gain power. The Lannister’s are already in a difficult
situation because of sexual attraction. Varys doesn’t have to worry about that.
No women will persuade him to do anything. This makes him even more of a threat
to the other characters. Cat then learns that the man who came to kill Bran had
a dagger belonging to Tyrion Lannister. This shows that the Lannister’s hired
this man to kill Bran, however, it was most likely not Tyrion.
Later
we find that the Crown is 6 million in debt. However they still want to throw
an extravagant tournament for Ned becoming hand of the King. This shows the
frivolousness of the King.
