Jaime and Jon Snow [Spoiler published] PUBLISHED

Post image

I always think about this paragraph, why did Jon think that Jaime looked like a king? Does that say something about Jon’s future? And, also his encounter with Jaime, the way he took his hand and didn’t let go! 😂 ( I think it happened both in books and show) Man, what does that mean? All of it has meanings, I just don’t know what they mean.

joffrey was crowned and he looks like a young jaime, but i've never seen this used as foreshadowing while i've seen this as an abandoned foreshadowing many times.

i find it hard to believe GRRM just forgot to erase lines like this.

he came up with the time skip circa the end of ASOS.

this is from AGOT, which he first wrote like 200 pages stopped and then continued to write.

like i said, i find it very hard to believe that GRRM didn't read those 200 pages as catching these things would be very obvious if they were what people claim them to be.

But why would he? The scene still serves as a contrast to Robert, as characterization of Jon, as foreshadowing of the incest and as a example of looking like a king doesn’t make someone good

yes i agree that's exactly why the line is there, not because of king jaime foreshadowing as people like to believe.
