Re: Foreshadowing in ASOIAF

The question of Jon's father, forshadowing, and sons continuing in the sins/actions/alliances of ther fathers popped into my head today.

Eddard raised his banner in rebellion and marched south. He lost his honor by fathering a bastard while on campaign.

Robb raised his banner in rebellion and marched south. He lost his honor by sleeping with a virgin while on campaign. So as not to commit the sin of his father, Robb married the girl.

Rhaegar read something in a book that changed his life. Aemon was familiar with the same material. Rhaegar became even more serious. He secretly took a Stark girl to his bed.

Jon has been given certain books by Aemon. Jon will soon understand these passages. Jon is already serious. When Jon thinks of Ygritte, he often compares her to Arya.
