snow is the man Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 She essentially made jon and his men prisoners in all but name. Jon had his men disarm just like she wanted and followed every rule and yet she took his ship and stranded him on her island. She also basically said they were being sent to rooms where they would have a bath and meals. Kinda sounds like she was locking them in a very nice prison cell doesn't it. Yes she eventually let him out and yes he could walk around the island but he couldn't leave. I understood why she did it in astapor (essentially broke the rules) and even liked it but she had invited jon to dragonstone which pretty much means he is supposed to be safe. I have liked dany in previous seasons but this was unacceptable. Why is noone else mentioning this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legba11 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Dany has murdered people she is negotiating with several times now. In a well-written world, she would be a sociopath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerevanin Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I did! I suppose that ignoring thousands years old customs qualify you as the best potential ruler... I mean, it's possible that Dany doesn't know about the guest right, she didn't grow up in Westeros. But it's ridiculous that Tyrion or Varys don't point it out to her...

As of now, Jon still wants to be there because he needs the Dragonglass and he needs her as an ally. She is doing right by him IMO by allowing him to mine the Dragonglass. But yes, I'd agree if Jon truly makes it clear he wants to leave but he has not done that yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brightstar_ Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I believe technically for guest right to apply, the guest has to have eaten and drank something from the host. Catelyn makes a point of this when they first visit the Freys, immediately asking for food and drink.( even though we now know how little protection guest right gave them later against the Freys) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yeah, he essentially is a prisoner. They took his party's weapons so he is at Dany's mercy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an ancient sacred tradition considered to be punishable by the gods if broken. Remember Bran telling Meera and Jojen the story of the rat king?

The thing is, her sending them to "their rooms" effectively making them prisoners, happened before they got their food, so she probably still "technically" didn't break guest right. I realize it's a huge nitpick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon has still yet to explicitly ask Dany to leave. He is still benefiting from staying in Dragonstone, where Dany has given him the Dragonglass he came for in the first place and in the 2nd place he is still hoping to secure an alliance with her. So no, I don't think he actually wants to leave as of the moment and until he actually makes that clear and Dany denies him the ability to do so, he is not a prisoner.

But I guess we are splitting hairs at this point. Bottom line, Dany is a hypocrital bitch who doesn't deserve to rule over a dung heap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, obviously he doesn't want to go back to WF yet. But just as obviously he has been denied access to his ship, which for all practical purposes makes him a prisoner, albeit a privileged one.

He was antsy for a little bit because before she said yes, she had to go deal with the bad news of getting her ass kicked on all fronts. But once she got the bad news, she said yes. And I doubt she lets him mine it just so it can sit at her docks- that's just stupid for both logically and the storyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no, I don't think he actually wants to leave as of the moment and until he actually makes that clear and Dany denies him the ability to do so, he is not a prisoner. But he does, although later changed his mind, he explicitly says to Tyrion that he needs to help his people for what is coming, that he can't do it from there, and that he wants to leave... and I did not hear Tyrion answering "You are free to leave whenever you want". Anyway, I took Dani violation of guest right as plain ignorance. After all, show Dani was raised and educated by who? Vyseris and Illyrio? Hardly the best teachers about Westerosi traditions. But this "ignorance" is lazy writing too, with Tyrion as her adviser that shouldn't have happened. And I go farther, nor should have Dani offended Jon by taking their swords at his arrival, because this is like making clear that "the hosts" considered Jon himself capable of eventuallly breaking guest right, and Tyrion knows Jon far too well for believing such a thing.
