• 09. ARYA STARK ~ « My father is Hand of the King. I am not a boy, I am Arya Stark of Winterfell. And if you lay a hand on me my father will have both of your heads on spikes. Now, are you going to let me by, or do I have to smack you on the ear to help you with your hearing? »

“Last night’s finale saw the completion of Daenerys’s transformation. Coming out of the fire naked, with her three young dragons, it was as if she’d been reborn. Though Daenerys loved Khal Drogo, she doesn’t need him anymore; she can raise a khalasar on her own.”

“Cersei has overcome the limitations Westerosi society has imposed on her by strategy and treachery, and though she’s far from sympathetic—this is, after all, a woman who had a boy pushed out of a window to protect her secret affair with her brother—it’s not impossible to understand how she became the cold-hearted woman she is.”

“But it’s Lady Catelyn who comforts her son after they learn of Ned’s death, not the other way around. And it’s Lady Catelyn who coolly, pragmatically defines out the Starks’ battle strategy for the ‘King in the North’: ‘We have to get the girls back. And then we will kill them all.’

“It’s both sad and somehow poetic that her survival rests on her ability to blend in as a young boy. Of course, tomboyishness is not the same thing as masculinity, and it would be a mistake to equate the two—Arya is every bit as female as her sister Sansa. But Westeros has a very specific set of rules for noble-born women, and Arya’s not interested in playing by any of them.”

“For a girl who’s been criticized by many fans as snotty and immature, it’s a turning point; when she looks on her father and handmaiden’s heads of her own free will, it’s an act of defiance, and of sorrow, and of guilt. Not so long ago, Sansa was naïve, but the scales have clearly fallen from her eyes—and as she stands, she’s the best-positioned Stark to strike back at the Lannisters.”

“I’ve got Seven Kindgoms to rule! One King, Seven Kingdoms! Do you think honor keeps them in line? Do you think it’s honor that’s keeping the peace? It’s fear… fear and blood.”
