A Game of Thrones, Vol. 51 [Arya IV]

Can we ever escape our narrative expectations? Can a hero’s defeat ever feel satisfying? This chapter foreshadows an eight-season / seven-book arc for Arya Stark that cannot come to pass. We are forced to challenge our conception of heroes and unshakeable desire for happy endings. At the same time, this story’s central binary of life and death is transgressed and complicated half a dozen times. All of our big ideas and theories just got thrown into the blender. Let’s see what the smoothie tastes like!
