If Fire = Dragon. Then Ice = What?

About "A Song of Ice and Fire":

GRRM was asked about it, and he said that he liked when things like that work on multiple levels, so:

Jon - Dany

Jon himself - Stark+Targ

Others - Dragons

Norse - Southrons

Beyond the wall - Asshai - the two opposite ends of the world

Old Gods - Rhlorr

First men - Targs

Long summer - Long Winter

Heck, even Jorah Mormont - an Ice warrior, who fights for the Fire side

I think it works on all those levels - dualism is the key.

Exactly. I don't think we have to limit this to one meaning. Metaphors are more poignant when they represent more than one idea, anyway. The "song of ice and fire" works on multiple levels, each of which should support the other.
