      He's called white wolf mostly because he is a bastard, bastard symbol known by the reversed colour of their house instead. Stark sigil symbol is grey fire wolf with white background, so for snow, its a white dire wolf with grey background

      Nope. This is not a Stark motto. This is the GNC's motto. GNC stands for Great Northern Conspiracy. This is used by northeners to remind themselves of the long night and that there must always be a Stark in Winterfell.

    Another key bit of symbolism: Jon was the only Stark to die before his dire wolf did. The fact that Ghost was still alive was a glaring clue that Jon wasn't gone for good.

      Every Ned-Catelyn Stark children's direwolves died(left their owner), last remaining is Jon's Ghost which could also mean that he would be the last to have something die off him. also it wasn't mentioned how the stark children are all possible wargs, heck even Jon had dreams and he's half stark(in the show). though it wasn't proven if it was warging for arya, jon since it came off as something like a dream. bran is certainly proven a warg and a three-eyed raven. sansa's lady died to early to know. robb didn't get a POV for warging dreams. still would be nice to see it in the show if Jon accepted warging.

  • @josueguillen8209

    Summer's death also symbolize that Bran is no longer a Stark. He is only the Three Eye Raven. He has no duties to his family but he has a duty as the last greenseer. After Summer dies, Bran loses his personality and he seems unaffected by anything. The 3rd episode of the 7th season confirms this when he tells Sansa that he cannot be the Lord of anything, he refuses his right as a Stark, he can only be the Three Eye Raven

    • @nenabunena
      @nenabunena 7 років тому +126

      If Ghost dies that would symbolize Jon embracing his Targaryen lineage, Ghost is my favorite of the direwolves and it will break my heart to see him die. It's the same for Lady too, her death symbolizes Sansa's choice to side with the Lannisters over her family, she seizes to be a Stark then and Lady's death is the result of that choice.

    • @glanni
      @glanni 7 років тому +75

      I don't really think that sansa sided up with the lannisters. She saw arya as disturbing her 'romance' and didn't want to make her image towards cercei and joffrey bad so that she could mary him. Ofc she was wrong about them but at this point she thought it would be best to stay neutral. She was just a child who didn't realize why everything went wrong because she was believing life was a fairy tale.

      It's also written in the book how one of the big reasons why Catelyn despises Jon so is because he has more Stark features than any of her own children. He may have Targaryen blood in him, but he is as true a Stark as they come.

    I would also like to mention that in the books, Robb’s downfall started when he stopped bring Grey Wind with him everywhere. There was one specific scene where he told his mother that he married another woman and not Walder Frey’s daughter, which was also the first time Catelyn did not see Grey Wind with him. It was mentioned several times in her POV about how Grey Wind was howling in the kennels, which in my opinion, is a foreshadowing of how things will stop working in their favor. Just a bit of my own theorizing.

(I mean he practically did at the Battle of Whispering Wood anyways) Pretty sure GRRM had to kill him off because he was too powerful, the man was so badass they had to use some low ass tactics just to murder him man he was a great character

    Very good. Wolves are the most faithfull and united animals, they love their pack and do everything to protect them, just like the Starks did, but once they are separeted, they became lonely beings. The combat between Starks and Lannister not came only by the history amoung Yorks and Lancasters, but from different perception of family. Lions also are group animals who loves each other, but they put their "proud" and strong capacities in the top of their leadership, while wolves prefer a "wise" and careful learder.

    No more trouts shall swim in the river.

    The mother direwolf dying via the stagg to protect its young is a clear metaphor for Ned dying but ultimately giving up something that matters greatly to him (his honour) in order to protect his daughters.
    Also ‘stoicism’ is 100% one of the starks strongest characteristics. Stoicism is one of Ned’s strongest characteristics, as in the book he’s often described as being icy and frozen.

  • @SpankyPUA

    You guys missed the point why Rickon's direwolf is named shaggy dog. In literature, a shaggy dog story is an extremely long-winded anecdote characterized by extensive narration of typically irrelevant incidents and terminated by an anticlimax or a pointless punchline. In other words, rickon's story in the whole show was after all irrelevant and nonsense, hence the show never focused on him or gave him much scene which would and just have led him to a untimely nonsense anticlimactic death. GRRM planned it all along. A-ma-zing.

      My Soup Too cold Agreed. Adding a shaggy dog story isn't amazing or an example of exemplary writing. It's absolutely...well pointless and adds nothing at all. A literal waste of sentences in a novel so centred on world building and character roles, where there are almost too many characters vying to be written. Why even put him there if he changes nothing in the story whatsoever? In any case, there's obviously a correlation between the number of Starks and the 7, of which Rickon is a part of. Besides, I hope Martin at least does something with Rickon's feral/wildling nature even if he does die soon. That's the part of him that I always wanted to be expanded on, at least a little.
      The show has left many subplots out let's not forget (Dorne/Lady Stoneheart etc) and kills off characters that probably will survive, but won't be as relevant just for onscreen shock value. Or kills of characters too early/late. Rickon should at least get some focus in the books, if brief, before he goes. Not a lame fucking zig-zag fiasco.

Yes Edric is a bastard but he doesn’t have have true Nobel blood unlike Gendry who only has one side.
      And in a monarchy, I doubt we will ever see a Bastard ruling a Nobel house. To others it would feel like betrayal or a free-for-all. I mean just look what happened in The Targaryen civil war.

    I've always thought that Lady's death was symbolic of Sansa's severed ties with house Stark. Sansa is so different from the other Starks, she really stands out, and she is the single Stark to have the most conflicts with the other members of the family, never truly emotionally connecting with them. All of the other siblings, from Jon to Rickon, liked each other pretty well and enjoyed playing together, but Sansa always was in the different room knitting and dreaming of glamorous Southern life. Oh, and she also the only one to never warg.

    Very nicely done! Loved this video, yet I have one addition concerning Shaggy Dog and Rickon.
    A shaggydog-tale is a tale which has a huge build up, but ends with an anticlimactic ending. Rickon's story could be seen as a shaggydog-tale as well. Through the seasons you might think he will be of importance in the end. After the first seasons, Bran sends him away to an assumed safehouse and one could expect that he might pop up and become important in a later season. Yet in season 6 he is suddenly killed of without us knowing too much about him.
    So in this way the name Shaggy Dog also reflects Rickon's life.

    Also Jon’s wolf being white fits nicely with the Targaryans, who have white hair. And it is contrasted with his favorite color being black (I mean he said so in season 1 at least) and him being a part of the nights watch, “taking the black”. It kinda shows his ”black and white” thinking, how he is solely focused on one goal, and anything that does not go towards that goal is anathema to him. But then there is the starks with the grey as well, he can still see the grey areas between arguments. Idk. Lots of black/white/grey symbolism going on with him. Not to mention blue, which is a bit more important in the books, with the whole blue rose for Lyanna and blue rose in the wall in Dany’s visions and stuff, but it directly connects him to the night king and the white walkers (who also have the same black/white thing going on). Also in the books, his eyes are meant to be blue. So idk. Lots of connections there, lots of foil characters. Even Dany is a foil to him, her eyes are violet, the mix between the red of the Targarayans and blue, I guess it would have been too obvious to give Jon violet eyes lol.

      @aleksandrazygmanowska2302 5 років тому

      But in the end they don't really fight against each other, I mean these "fights" happen because they see things differently. It's not like they're going to betray one another or fight for power. They're diffent,but their ultimate goal is the same and it's their family and the North. That's why Jon left the North in Sansa's hands,he knew he could trust her to take care of it and their people while he's away. She did it in her own way,but despite Littlefinger's manipulations and schemes he didn't really manage to turn her against her family. Because unlike him Sansa isn't driven by lust for power,it's not her goal to be in position of power or to have a title. It's only a mean for her so she can protect herself and her family,her home,land and people. And she does it,with Bran and Arya's help they finally manage to destroy him.

    The Starks are strong and resilient. In contrast to many other characters, the Starks do what is hard but right. They go through some of the worst atrocities, but they don't give up or go bad. And most importantly, they don't turn on each other. Ned and Catelyn Stark are not only good people who have the strongest and healthiest romantic relationship in the series (despite some misunderstandings and imperfections) ... but they're also the best parents. They teach their children to be leaders and to stick together.
