BionicBarry231 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Ser Dontos was a knight made into a fool by Sansa. Thought he could be a true knight again for rescuing Sansa, but was made into a true fool by trusting LF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyse Stark Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hey what about this one. Sansa wishing at the end of AGOT that a true hero would throw slynt down and chop his head off."Edd, fetch me a block."Jon chops the slimy bastard's head off after he disobeyed one of Jon's orders.

the conquoring bastard25 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Don't you think I know that. I said it that way because she prays for a true knight. The nights watch have been known as the black knights. Jon as the LC of said knighthood is acting as a true hero and cuts off Slynts head. I know why he cut his head off, only it's sansa's prayer that I find ironic. Jon snow at this point of Sansa's arc would never consider Jon a hero he's only her bastard brother after all. I'm not calling the action it's self ironic just the person that does it in relation to sansa's prayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheButcherCrow Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Huh? Just because Gared was right and did see WW, doesn't give him a free pass to desert... His duty is to go back to the Wall itself and tell his brothers, then stay there and defend the Wall. That is what he swore to do. He flat out deserted that duty and as a deserter his life is forfeit, as explained by Ned in that chapter. Also: When Tyrion thinks that Jon's mother put nothing of herself into him. Ned's duty as hand of the king is to carry out his king's last wishes, he alters the document. His duty as Robert's friend would be to tell him what he knows, he doesn't. By all the laws of Westeros he committed treason. Put that in your irony pipe and toke hard. EDIT Btw, Jaime's entire life is one irony after another.

rmd Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Btw, Jaime's entire life is one irony after another. At some stage Bran literally has to push him out of a tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferocious Veldt Roarer Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 From one of the first chapters: “You say you love Robert like a brother. Would you leave your brother surrounded by Lannisters?” Which is exactly what Robert's actual brother was doing quite probably at that very moment.

Sullen Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 What's the "I hope your princess dies" line about? While in Harenhall, Arya regularly speaks to Elmar Frey, who talks to her about the Princess his grandfather arranged him to marry, that princess being Arya even though none of them realizes it. After Robb marries Jayne, the engagement is called off, and Arya sees Elmar crying, they have a dispute which ends with Arya saying "I hope your princess dies."

SpringKing Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 What's the "I hope your princess dies" line about? Metaphorically, Elmar's princess (Arya) is already dead in the sense that her arc leads ever away from highborn status. Stylistically it extends the complex irony of her death list/death wishes.

XSarellaX Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I don't know if this is ironic or just coincidence, and I can't find the quote... but IIRC, when Wyman Manderly's son is in Harrenhal, they fed him with human meat. And then we have the Frey pies scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC Jaime Lannister Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Joffrey didn't have the wider world view to understand that it would be politically better to send Ned to the wall instead of executing him. He thought Ned was a traitor and deserved his decapitation and showed him mercy by not torturing him first. Both Ned and the deserter had good reason to be allowed to live but their executioners didn't have the necessary information or understanding. His mother told him what to do. I'm sure she said why, as well. There is also a difference between being omniscient and being able to think long-term and critically. Also, Ned really did not have a reason to let the man live. Whether or not his story is true, he deserted the Nights Watch. He should have just returned to CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
