Jory Cassel Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 ok "loosing the hounds on the sheep", is that better?.idk, what exactly are you trying to say? If we want to stay with the hounds-symbology, you could say that Robb brought them to the Riverlands whereas Rickard set them loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie Manderly Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Yes, we can because GRRM is writing ASOIAF for a contemporary audience, and so obviously we are supposed to judge the characters using contemporary morality.That makes no sense. It wasn't written for a comtemporary audience it was written for GRRM to tell his story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod123 Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 idk, what exactly are you trying to say? If we want to stay with the hounds-symbology, you could say that Robb brought them to the Riverlands whereas Rickard set them loose.Rickard is a hound, he brought his host to the Riverlands and its blatantly clear that his host doesnt share his moral values, and many of them are independent enough to do whatever atrocity they want. Rickard got killed because he was captured doing one in Riverrun.Bolton was pretty much doing whatever he wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearlthegirl Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I think it is safe to say that GRRM has really strongly developed multifaceted characters. None are inherently evil, nor are the good. Isn't that the best part of ASOIAF?Please! Yes! & thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearlthegirl Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 The situation of Queen Danaerys in the Slaver's Bay is very similar to what happen in Iraq after the USA forces overthrow the Saddam Housein's regime. No matter how much good you try to make it's not gonna end well if you try to impose your values over a culture that is so different to yours. ^^^ this! To get back to the OP.

Pearlthegirl Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Tywin seems a hard man to you, but he's no harder than he's had to be. Our own father was gentle and amiable, but so weak his bannermen mocked him in their cups. Some saw fit to defy him openly. Other lords borrowed his gold and never troubled to repay it. At court they japed of toothless lions. Even his own mistress stole from him. A woman scarcely one step above a whore, and she helped herself to my mother's jewels! It fell to Tywin to restore House Lannister to its proper place. Just as it fell to him to rule this realm, when he was no more than twenty. He bore that heavy burden for twenty years and all it earned him was a mad king's envy. Instead of the honor he deserved, he was made to suffer slights beyond count, yet he gave the Seven Kingdoms peace, plenty and justice. He is a just manSure, quote his sister and trust her POV as fact. Not saying she's wrong, just recognize your source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
