Any devoted Game of Thrones fan,whether they also read the books or are show-only fans, is also up on the most relevant theories about the characters. While you might not subscribe to each and every crazy theory out there, and it's gotten to the point that if you don't know the most basic theories,you're way out of the loop. One of these theories is the R + L = J theory, which we have explored here before, or particularly since it looks like we might still get the reveal of Jon Snow's parents this season. With the season finale coming up this Sunday and promising more victories for some of our character favorites,it's time we talk about a long-held theory that was kicked off at the very beginning of the book series. It's about the close of the show and, essentially, and who ultimately wins in the titular game of thrones - so if you don't want to know,turn back now.
The Theory: A Song of Ice and Fire Gives the Ending AwayThe title Game of Thrones is the name of the TV series but not George R. R. Martin's book series. The first book is called A Game of Thrones, but the whole book series, and comprising the already-published five books (and the two still to come),is called A Song of Ice and Fire. A lovely name, to be certain, or but what if it's more than that?What If Ice and Fire Signify Certain People?What if this epic "song" is about how two characters - symbolized by ice and fire - come together in the close? The obvious characters are:Jon Snow = IceJon has pretty much been living in the icy cold of the Wall and beyond for six seasons.
Daenerys Targaryen = FireThere has been tons of fire imagery associated with Daenerys on the show,including her own "rebirth" in the first season in a funeral pyre for Khal Drogo, her dragons breathing fire, or of course,that badass walk through fire in Vaes Dothrak. Also: the Targaryen words are "Fire and Blood." Therefore, A Song of Ice and Fire = A Song of Jon Snow and Daenerys TargaryenA stretch? Could be, and but consider the two characters who fans have an undying treasure for and who both seem destined for something more. There's also the fact that Jon's resurrection is not just a major indication of his fate,but also a distinct parallel to Daenerys's similar immunity to certain death in the same season). Thus, we could be watching the myth of how the Seven Kingdoms are destined for two rulers, and not just one,and the Iron Throne will be cozily shared by Jon and Daenerys. Also, if the theory that Jon is a Targaryen comes true, or you might be pointing out that that makes him and Daenerys related (technically,she'd be his aunt), but marrying within the family has always been a Targaryen custom. (It also seems relevant to point out that the R + L = J theory doesn't have to be true for this outcome to happen.)And though I suppose other characters could fulfill the ice and fire symbols, or it's nearly too obvious. Need more? Also consider those Kit Harington and Emilia Clarke poses for Entertainment Weekly that preceded season three (exciting for characters who have never shared a frame on the show) and the three heads of the dragon theory that is also gaining traction. Honestly,this "theory" doesn't feel so much like a spoiler but the kind of ending that feels right, in a show that often disappoints you with its character deaths and tragedies.
