Game of Thrones 2/28


This reading is when things really start to get going. Arya overhears two men talking about killing her father. This is something that should be expected. Ned clearly has a different moral compass than the rest of the characters in King’s Landing. Ned however does not believe Arya. Clearly Arya is right and Ned should be worried. This again shows that Ned is stubborn. Ned has many great qualities, and stubbornness is one of them. He does not accept anything that he finds immoral. In this case however, stubbornness is going to hurt Ned and his family. There is more and more tension between the Lannister’s and the Stark’s. I really like the contrast in the two families. One is from the north, one from the south. Their morals are completely different as well. Tyrion escapes Cat using his mind. At this point Tyrion is my favorite character. I love his wit and how he can be in a situation where he is facing certain death and comes out not having to fight and gaining a loyal army man.  Cat’s sister is clearly gone crazy. This may be because of the sorrow she feels due to the loss of her husband John. Tyrion and Bronn are obviously made to compliment eachother. Tyrion has the brains Bronn has the brawns (funny how his name is Bronn). Bran and his brother are attacked by wildlings, which adds to the uncertainty beyond the wall. This problem is something that is in the backdrop. Everyone is focused on John Aryan, the Lannister’s etc., yet nobody is focusing on the danger beyond the wall. This is a problem that must not be ignored.
