![]() Lying abed in her narrow bunk, she found herself wondering how it would be to have a man squeezed in beside her in place of her handmaid, and the thought was more exciting than it should have been. What Dany wanted she could not begin to say, but Jorah’s kiss had woken something in her, something that had been sleeping since Khal Drogo died. She glimpsed the shadow of a great wolf, and another like a man wreathed in flames.Ĭould it be that the shadow of the wolf is turning into a man? like in Melisandre’s previous vision? and a man wreathed in flames sounds a lot like one of the quotes above!Īnd here is one of Daenerys’ dreams that are widely believed to be a prophetic dragon dream: Inside the tent the shapes were dancing, circling the brazier and the bloody bath, dark against the sandsilk, and some did not look human. The outlines that Daenerys sees as she approaches the tent of Mirri Maz Durr: The shadow was there, just as she had said, etched in moonlight against the Wall.Īnd just to prove my point, I’m going to add some quotes that I believe are there to foreshadow (haha, foreshadowing, clever George) Jon Snow’s fate: The moon has kissed you and etched your shadow upon the ice twenty feet tall."Jon glanced over his shoulder. Some are thin and weak, others long and dark. ![]() “Every man who walks the earth casts a shadow on the world. “Shadows.” The world seemed darker when he said it. Varys tells Tyrion that even a very small man can cast a very tall shadow, and Melissandre tells Jon the same: ![]() Ghost ran with them, a white shadow at Jon’s side.įinally, there is also the imagery of shadows being good. A white wolf in a white wood, silent as a shadow. Jon did not fear for the direwolf so much as for any wildlings he might encounter. Keep in mind Jon did not name Ghost because he has white fur he named Ghost because he is silent as a ghost, as a shadow: Now he was a man, now a wolf, now a man again. His long face floated before her, limned in tongues of red and orange, appearing and disappearing again, a shadow half-seen behind a fluttering curtain. The flames crackled softly, and in their crackling she heard the whispered name Jon Snow. Jon is a Warg, and he has a deep bond with Ghost. Mind you, book Jon and Ghost are not just master and companion. Stannis had been a younger son living in the shadow of his elder brother, just as Jon Snow, bastard-born, had always been eclipsed by his trueborn sibling.Īnd we have George refer to Jon as Ghost, as a wolf, and both as shadows. Well, death is a bottomless pit of sorts, he reflected, and when this day’s work is done my name will be shadowed forever. Here are quotes about Jon in the shadows of others: I think it is a big hint and irony for what is coming to Jon: Not only is he going to leave the shadow of the Night’s Watch and become KITN, but he is also believed to become King of the Seven Kingdoms. He often accepts that his name will never be sung and his duty is to be a man of the Night’s Watch and die silently protecting the realm. Yet we also see Jon reflect on how he lives in the shadows. For the rest of his life-however long that might be-he would be condemned to be an outsider, the silent man standing in the shadows who dares not speak his true name. He was who he was Jon Snow, bastard and oathbreaker, motherless, friendless, and damned. Tyrion Lannister had claimed that most men would rather deny a hard truth than face it, but Jon was done with denials. Jon refers to himself as a shadow in his own chapters: Keep this in mind for my upcoming Meta :) Here are only SOME of the Jon/Shadow quotes I’ve been able to find. I just wanted to point out how George often refers to Jon Snow as a shadow, and not always in a bad way.
