A Game of Thrones, Vol. 61 [Jon VIII]

Check out Cam's latest novel / audio drama here! The story of A Song of Ice and Fire is perfectly encapsulated in the character of Jon Snow. The conflict, coexistence, and intertwining of these two opposing forces are essential to Jon and his story. This chapter is full of symbols that encourage us to contemplate this struggle of identity within Jon: Maggie examines the contrast between the fiery burns of Jon’s right hand and the shaky but honor-bound duties of his left, while Cam reconsiders the direwolf as the Stark’s mascot, and suggests that the raven might serve as a more truthful sigil. Maester Aemon remains ever-present in the backdrop of this chapter (and throughout Jon’s story) – but as an example, or a warning?
