TheLastWolf Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Apart from Dunk's relationships prior to the white, the most that interests me is if he ever learnt to read and if he kills Bennis (subtle pun) Brownstench. And I loved the additional connect to Brienne, one of his descendants, not the shield but Inchfields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seams Posted August 13, 2023 Author Share Posted August 13, 2023 Just throwing a bone in here to try to keep this thread from shutting down. I always intend to come back and finish this analysis. Maybe the new series will motivate me. Here is a small related nugget that is, perhaps, worth linking here. @Sandy Clegg started a new discussion of Quentyn Martell. As mentioned long ago in this thread, I think the character is a parallel for Glendon Flowers and Quentyn Ball. So here's what I contributed to that Quentyn discussion. The entire thread has new, good insights linking Quentyn Martell to other characters in ASOIAF. Worth a look.

There are parallels between Dunk and Davos Seaworth. It's possible that Dunk will be transformed to become literate, similar to the change undergone by Ser Davos. On the other hand, I think we will never see Dunk knighted. Like the Hound and Brienne, this is just not part of his arc. I'm registering your comment nearly a year later, but if you see this, I would love to understand your reference to the inchfields. I think Lucas Longinch is a symbolic father for Dunk, so the idea of an Inchfield family line is intriguing. There is also wordplay on "chin" and "inch" in the story of Ser Duncan the Tall.

Tbh I forgot myself lol. But seeing as how I left it at that, a quick eyeballing would suffice. I'll look into it and get back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Owen Inchfield who kissed Brienne by force trying to win the deflowering wager. Kicked back into the campfire IIRC. Brienne being Dunk's descendant and all... Longinch died in the water btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
