Beric is a really nice name, but Dondarrion sounds stupid and no one can spell it right (how they even got that name if the founder of the house was a commoner?)

kimim Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Oberyn Martell (Oberon, king of fairies meets Charles Martel, very cool) Sandor Clegane (a beautiful first name, and love the sound of the last name) Arya and Sansa Stark (musical, beautiful first names+the stark last name as contrast) Jaqen H'ghar "The Others," great descriptor. Why are they "the other"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talvikorppi Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 53 minutes ago, kimim said: "The Others," great descriptor. Why are they "the other"? I think that's pretty obvious. Us vs. Them. We're the ones, they're the others. Not like us. This is how people think in our universe. The people in power use this and "other" their opponets or scapegoats, make them "the others", not quite human, so things can be done to them you wouldn't do to a human being, and the insecure ones want to associate/identify with the powers that be, not the others (who might oppose the powers that be). The most notable example in modern history is how the Nazis othered the Jews and several other demographics, and had a tacit agreement to... get rid of them, them damn others. A more recent and milder example is how UK mainstream media (including the BBC) "other" Scots. Not only the independence-minded who rocked the boat but also the "good" UK-union-minded ones. They're all grieveous Scots, other than the right sort (which is English establishment sort. Lands, titles, Eton, Oxford, some political stuff before a seat in the unelected House of Lords, invitations to the Queen's garden or shooting parties... You get the idea.) Now, in ASOIAF, the Others really are something other, they aren't human. To any Westerosi person, highborn or low, humans are still "us". Something non-human really is the other. The Others. The conflict. Us vs. Them. I want to learn more about the Others. What is their culture? What do they think? What makes them tick? Can humans understand such a foreign intelligence? The only Other I, as a reader, have any connection with is Puddles. I can't help but think that if you're supposed to be the ultimate scary badass ice-zombie warrior, getting stabbed and puddled by Samwell bloody Tarly is a real let-down. A humiliation. :-D The Others aren't mindless ice-zombies. I'm looking forward to learning more about their intelligence and culture. I'll still want humans to win, mind. OK, so call me a racist! Or a speciesist! Or whatever! I want the humans to beat the non-humans, OK?!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking forward to learning more about their intelligence and culture ita that the term "other," implies that dismissing "them" as simple evil is a mistake, one reason I like the fact that Martin applies it to the Walkers. So long as they're the "other," there's hope that they'll be something deeper than the icy big bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
