He takes on a mentor role to mold her into an even better helpmate. She handles herself well in social situations, knows exactly what to say to everyone, and has a natural leadership quality (see: her taking over when Cersei left during the Blackwater Battle, and running the Eyre for LF after Lysa's death).Yep. Sansa suffers because she performs femininity almost too well, attracting the attention of people like LF whose desire causes her harm.My first reservation after posting this was that Sansa is too attractive to be Jane. - but it is a nice thought...after rejecting Rochester, Jane is rescued by St. John - a man who wants to make her his wife in spite of being hopelessly in love with another woman he can't have, because he thinks Jane would make a good partner in crime (in his case: missionary work).
I am a Stark, yes, I can be brave.Is it all lies, forever and ever, everyone and everything?The memory of her own wedding night with Tyrion was much with her. Sanse suffers because she performs femininity almost too well, attracting the attention of people like LF whose desire causes her harm.One doesn't have to look too far to see the bird motifs surrounding Sansa: Sandor's pet name, Littlefinger's personal arms, the Eagle of House Arryn, Harry the "Young Falcon..." Similarly, she has spent most of her time "caged" and without the ability to exert her will, being completely at the mercy of various captors.The point? [7] Luwin has also educated the Stark children. There's naive Isabella (Lysa), who is misguided into believing she's Heathcliff's true love and marries him to find out (OK, at the very end, but she does find out) that it was a fatal mistake.
She revels in the role of damsel in distress and Sandor offering to take away is the big rescue her romantic mind has been hoping for however she does not go. Someday you may learn that, to your sorrow.Sansa was a lady at three, always so courteous and eager to please. GRRM is no exception. The rest of your points are quite valid criticisms, though.Just because she had to be intentionally reserved due to the circumstances, doesn't mean she stops being an extrovert. Your sister sang me a sweet little song.A thousand years ago, she had known a girl who loved lemon cakes.When put together, the alias "Alayne" used by Sansa and the alias "Cat" used by her sister
GRRM would likely subvert this, though, having Sansa cathartically slay one or the other (or both.)Interesting!
Lots of people were quite frustrated with Sansa when she did not go with the Hound, especially considering the later turn of event with regard to Littlefinger. Sansa stark is a full-time student at King's University who is struggling to find the light in her life anymore after losing her father six months back. Sansa Stark went up the mountain, but Alayne Stone is coming down.
He can't really afford to be either. We all know how the blue winter rose has been referenced along with Lyanna Stark. They are deeply passionate, but become very skilled at hiding their true feelings.- Jane is famously plain, Sansa is famously beautiful.- Jane never knew the comforts of a loving family, Sansa had a pretty sheltered upbringing until Ned died.
What do we have here.
Lots of people were quite frustrated with Sansa when she did not go with the Hound, especially considering the later turn of event with regard to Littlefinger. Reminds me of the pivotal scene when Jane rejects Rochester (clearly Sandor is the Rochester stand-in, not LF - Lf is more of a Heathcliff) after she learns of his still very much alive wife.
As Jane becomes more able to exert her will, she can leave Rochester (Littlefinger in this case) though she comes back to him. Like St. John, he is not really over his one true love Catelyn and intends to use Sansa as a replacement goldfish. Authors love to make references to history and other works.
A godswood without gods, as empty as me.She wondered where this courage had come from, to speak to him so frankly. This topic is now archived and is closed to further replies. She seemed to have some feelings of attraction toward the Hound, but he didn't stick around long enough for them to play out.
She might find that relateable, but it's not what she's looking for.
He was too strong to fight. I see some of Sansa in Isabella from Wuthering Heights with her naive infatuation with Heathcliff / Sansa's with Joff.
He will only manage to convey her as far as the Crossroads Inn, however – the same place where Brienne met Gendry, Rorge, and Biter, where Arya met Polliver and the Tickler, and where Catelyn Stark met Tyrion. Jon Snow was the bastard boy, with no name and no birthrights. It's one of the reasons why she's looking forward to no longer being locked up in the Eerie - she likes a livelier environment.I love Jane Eyre, and I agree that Sansa is the most 'Jane Eyresque' character. Sansa pitied them. the “Unkiss”). The important thing about the Jane/Rochester ship is that they are both a bit asocial.
