JaegrM Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Yes, yes, everyone thinks she has some secret motives or her own agenda, but that's not the point of this post.In aDWD Mel talks about how Jon would never come to her and always made her come to him, and then he'd make her wait outside, and sometimes not allow her entry at all.The only time he shows any real courtesy towards her is when he needs her, or needs her to give him info.Good example would be the heads the Weeper returned. He shows courtesy then, but otherwise he basically goes Selyse style on Mel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budj Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 haha - no wonder she's crushing on him when you put it that way...On a more serious note I don't blame him. She is working an agenda and it is hard to ignore that even though you ask to ignore that. If she had no agenda he would not be treating her that way.

Jon Wolfwalker Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 A woman that likes to burn people alive. Yeah, let me get them digits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mother of Mountains Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 She's a fake and a fanatic, why would anybody not be a jerk towards her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon's Queen Consort Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I think that he is polite but cold as snow... not a jerk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Eater Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Is this the same Mel who appears glamoured as Ygritte for a moment to try and get him into bed?In aDWD Mel talks about how Jon would never come to her and always made her come to him, and then he'd make her wait outside, and sometimes not allow her entry at all.Mel feels that what he did to be shrewd at least. He knows she is not a person he would want to be indebted to or in service to.I think that he is polite but cold as snow... not a jerk.That too.

Naathi Prince Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 sure, he's cold. She even says it is a smart plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Broke Howard Hughes Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I think he's more weary of her than just being a jerk. He's likely not eager to spend any time with her whatsoever and when he does it's straight to business and out the door. Of course this makes Mel think he's a total hottie and makes her try even harder. Reminds me of being a teenager. Nights Watch High School.

Blue Rose Direwolf Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Every time he was a jerk towards her I cheered. I can't stand that crazy woman. Anyone who burns people alive needs to get the fuck away from my darling Jon Snow.It also shows his good judgement that he's not taken in by her seductions and manipulations.

rmholt Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I think he sees her as possibly someone else who wants to use him or put him on the wrong side of his men and his duties. She is part of Stannis' entourage so even if she wants him to see her as someone acting with her own agenda, she wont be able to convince him. Also her sloppy self serving interpretations have been noticed by him as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterfellian Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Just out of curiosity, how did you expected Jon to behave towards a woman of whom Jon knows nothing about in terms of agenda but that he has witnessed disrespect religions and cultures, humiliate fallen foes and burned men alive? Jon wasn't a jerk as much as he was mistrustful of her, her powers and her motives. And with good reason.ETA- For those interested Tze made a fantastic analysis on Jon-Melissandre here: http://asoiaf.wester...wd/page__st__20Post #24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaegrM Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 It just seems unlike Jon to me to have a chick wait outside his door only to never let her in.Any of our "good/Honorable" characters seem much more likely to let them in as soon as they're able.

The Wolves Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I think she puts him on guard and Jon is a very reserved person so I don't think it's his intention to be a jerk to her, I just think he comes off like that. Also Jon forms opinions of people rather quickly and the one he formed of Mel have not been wrong from what he has been shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Nomad Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 He was the leader of a brotherhood sworn to never have sex. He had already fucked a wilding. If his "brothers" thought that he maybe took the mysterious hot (see what i did there) foreign woman into his rooms a little to much they might get suspicious.

Rolex Baratheon Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Jon is a very smart guy. He knows who he doesn't want to get too involved with.And also he does not want to develop a deep attraction towards Mel, for she is hot and has a huge vagina that many a man living in the cold Night's Watch castles would crave for.

TheGreyKraken Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Like everyone has said already, Jon doesn't trust Mel at all and he is right in doing so.He has reason to dislike her since she burns people alive which is a very cruel way of execution compared to traditional Northern Beheading.Also she is a religious fanatic that forces her own religion on other people which Jon knows about and doesn't take kindly too.Jon acts much more polite to her than most people would if they are in his shoes.
