Little random questions

Sandor's heart hasn't completely turned to stone. That's part of what makes him one of the most interesting characters. There is alot more to him than meets the eye.

Personally, I have not ruled out the possibility of Sandor bursting in and saving Brienne and her companions from the nooses around their necks.

Id find that interesting. It might also make Brienne think about men in a different light. She has been mistreated over the years, but if two men like Jaime and Sandor can go from what they were to who we THINK they are, then her views might change.

P.S. And after all, Brienne is hideous, Sandor is hideous, match made in heaven.

There's definately a hint of empathy within Sandor that was completely absent in Gregor (I wonder if he heard how Brienne killed the man wearing the face of "the Hound"?). All the same, I think any cliffhanger that closes the end of a character's last chapter has to be legit, rather than misdirection. Even if that's the case, we're all sure that Sandor will do something immensely heroic (maybe even above and beyond dealing with Gregor, though probably not). Then he tells everyone to bugger off.

I was rather hoping that Sandor, having acquainted himself with Ned's daughters and found something like sympathy for them, might go and swear his fealty to House Stark, as he had previously to Lannister.

A dog running with the wolves.:rolleyes:
 
Hey thanks for bringing that Sandor/Arya conversation up No One.

Wow, I think I've finally gone crazy, I'm sitting here talking to No One.
 
About the Red Wedding. Was it legal? ive seen it said in here it was, but is the guest right just an agreement, like it is morally wrong to kill your guests once they have eaten under your roof, or is there a law in Westeros (not that anyone has seen all the laws of Westeros) that states "once naked steel is drawn then its a free-for-all."

Because that may change things, slightly. If it was legal then what Frey did was fine. Ofcourse, morally it wasn't so fine. Being a religious lot, i guess most people will just say "let the gods deal with him".
 
I suppose the short answer is: when you make the rules, anything that suits you is leagl. The guest right is an unwritten one I believe.
 
I think guest right is a little more like a moral imperative, something that bonds the culture together tighter than any law could. Law is sort of a slippery concept in a feudal society anyway, the lords of the land are pretty clearly above any mere law. Craster held to guest right and we're often reminded that there are no laws beyond the wall.

I've mentioned this before, but I'm always struck on rereading that the Red Wedding is followed very closely by a Bran chapter where we hear the story of the rat chef, a story who's chief moral would appear to be 'terrible things will happen to you if you violate guest right.' I wouldn't be terribly shocked to see house frey more or less completely killed off before the end of the series. The Late Lord Frey may even live to see all his true born children dead... all the boasting about trading child for child just screams out to be fore shadowing...
