Comments
This Catelyn chapter is my personal ‘peak frustration’ with the Starks and their inflexible honour. The more times I read it, the more frustrated I get! Catelyn thinks ‘Had you stayed, and lent your support to Ned, he might still be alive’, almost blaming Renly for Ned’s death. Only moments earlier, Renly had told her he’d offered exactly that. People give the Starks points for sticking to their principles, but really it’s that they can’t compromise, not even slightly. I think this is a show only line, but The Hound gets it right on the money: How many Starks they gotta behead before you figure it out?
