maiden of tarth Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I know it would have changed the story and Tyrion’s arc, to kill Tywin so early but in Arya’s place, how can she have not thought to choose Tywin and the Mountain when Jaqen offered to kill three people for her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roux Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Because she's nine years old and when you're mean to a nine-year-old they're mad at you, not whoever told you to be mean to them. Even a 9 year old in this time would be maybe a fourteen-year-old in our time... She's young and alone. The only good guys are the ones she recognizes or actually say they are Robb's men. And these other guys are the ones she sees being horrible. She doesn't have a map with armies drawn on it in front of her. She knows who the big bad guys are but she's not even thinking that supremely, she's just looking for a little bit of wiggle room. And she doesn't have total faith in Jaquen yet.

Nevets Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 She's 9 years old, scared, helpless, and alone, and thinking of her immediate needs. Plus she doesn't entirely trust Jaqen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She even considered going to him and stating who she was. She didn't see him as a foe to her family in the same sense that we as readers do.

Sace Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Like it was said before, Arya is a 9 years old girl, not very well-aware about politics etc, so she uses the three deaths bonus by Jaqen to kill people she hates in that very moment, so Weese and Chiswyck and to free the Northmen. Was she better at choosing the war would turn very better for his brother, because she could kill like Lord Tywin or Ser Kevan, Ser Gregor or King Jeoffrey and Queen Cercei.

Thunder Bunny-3000 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 she does think of Tywin. as he is leaving Harrenhal. she rushes to find Jaqen to change her second name only to arrive at the scene of Weese's death ordered by her whisper.
