| Re: Sansa Player in training or pawn Wait....a reasonable, insightful post (with some semblance of punctuation at that) by Kiwi? Ooh oi. Who are you and what have you done with him?
Now that the kidding is aside, allow me to address the topic and more particularly Kiwis post....
I agree with you Kiwi. Sansa has done nothing to demonstrate strength or more acurately has done nothing to demonstrate conviction or strength of purpose. Circumstances and her own instinct of survival have lead Sansa down the path she is currently on. And for the record there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. She is still a teen.
The problem is when you compare her to Arya, Jon, Rob, and even Bran she comes up lacking. Arya has a singleminded clarity of purpose that I find refreshing in this day and age of angst driven main characters. Jon and Robb are what I imagine Eddard and Robert were like during the rebellion. With Robb being the impulsive Robert and Jon the emotionally torn Eddard.
Its not that Sansa is particularly inept or not very resourceful, its that her comparables are exceptional.
Go figure. |
