Bride of Fire — Not Husbands?
The "Jon and Dany won't make dragon pups" thread got a little derailed, so I thought I'd move this to its own thing. Basically, straightforward question: What is it about the "bride of fire" sequence that makes so many people so sure it refers to husbands? Is it the word "bride"? Fine and dandy, except that we also have the "daughter of death" sequence, depicting people who are not, from what I know, Dany's father. Meaning, "daughter" is not used literally in that sequence. So why automa
I would add, I think it leads to further confusion because there is also the issue that the "bride of fire sequence" serves to further explicate the "three mounts you will ride" said earlier. I posted this in another thread, but it might help show the parallelisms (and lack of): I think ambiguity in interpretation comes in when it is assumed that the "3 mounts you shall ride" all refer to sex or to men. I think only the first "mount to bed" does- her silver taking her literally to bed.
