Arya kiddin' Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Brienne has two oaths that she stands yet to fulfill in her story:1. To Jaime - finding Sansa Stark2. To herself - killing StannisWe know Jaime is on his redemption spree currently, and now has met up with Brienne, and there is definitely some chemistry going on there. Now the way I see it, Brienne's true purpose is not to fulfill any of these two oaths. Actually she is just a way in which Jaime's character finds true redemption, he is pushed to the edge.The theory is this: If Brienne were to die somehow now, and confess to Jaime that she was unable to fulfill any of these oaths and it will stain her honor forever, Jaime will fulfill these oaths in her stead and find true redemption. So in the end he will return Sansa to Stoneheart and will kill Stannis as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest Bill Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Perhaps you're right. I believe Jaime would promise to fulfill her oaths to regain his honour if she asks him to in her dying breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morienthar Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Oathkeeper I believe in the end is going to be just the most ironic sword name in the history of westeros.I don't think she can fulfill either of those oaths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bright Blue Eyes Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Three oaths actually:3. To serve Catelyn Stark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Selig Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Her first priority should be fulfilling her oath of fealty to Catelyn by killing Jaime. Not sure how murdering Stannis redeems Jaime in any way, BTW. What's redeeming about a murder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eating My Wings Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 She swore to kill Stannis just after Renly's death, in a moment of grief and rage. Since she, during the Feast, didn't think about Stannis at all (please, correct me if I'm wrong), I doubt that she considers the oath equal to her other oaths.
