Ser Duncan The Average Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Srsly, the fuck's up with that peach? What does it mean? Why does Stannis keep thinking about it? Is it because Stannis is a peachophobe? Amazing analysis, you obviously put a lot of work into it. I had to read it three times just to catch everything. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanset Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Best analysis ever I totally agree. My favorite part is the selection of quotes to support the exegesis. Very insightful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingofSothoryos Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Renly is trying to show how unfazed he is by Stannis given his overwhelming numbers and he knew Stannis would be bothered by the sheer nonsequiter of savoring a simple joy of life in the middle of war parley.The peach represented the ultimate contrast between the brothers. Renly is poetry, he is spring and summer, laughter and mirth...i.e. a peach. Stannis can no more understand the peach than he can understand Renly or people or poetry or laughter and mirth. Stannis understands suspicion, treachery, force, authority and duty so his first thought is "Renly is trying to kill me, I must defend myself!" Joy is just not a language Stannis is fluent in.

Mithras Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 GRRM: “The peach represents… Well… It’s pleasure. It’s… tasting the juices of life. Stannis is a very marshal man concerned with his duty, and with that peach Renly says: “Smell the roses”, because Stannis is always concerned with his duty and honor, in what he should be doing and he never really stops to taste the fruit. Renly wants him to taste the fruit but it’s lost. I wish that scene had been included in the TV series because for me that peach was important, but it wasn’t possible.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
