‘Game of Thrones’ ‘A Song of Ice And Fire’ Ending Guessed By Fans, Jon Snow The Final Hero
The famed author George R.R. Martin, known for the HBO hit series "Game of Thrones," recently revealed that a number of fans from the GOT fan message board successfully guessed the ending of his epic fantasy saga, "A Song of Ice and Fire." Avid fans of the book series had put together Martin's subtle clues and arrived to a conclusion that made the author wrestle with the issue of whether he is going to change his plot or just go with his original plan knowing the clues that he left.
"So many readers were reading the books with so much attention that they were throwing up some theories and while some of those theories were amusing bulls--- and creative, some of the theories are right," revealed Martin in an interview at the Edinburgh International Book Festival. "At least one or two readers had put together the extremely subtle and obscure clues that I'd planted in the books and came to the right solution."
But with so many fans giving out their theories about the series' ending, it's hard to tell who made the right conclusion. Business Insider's best guess comes from a well-written analysis of Reddit user c_forrester_thorne, which outlines Jon Snow's role in restoring peace between Westeros and the White Walkers also coincides Martin's statement back in 2011 when he talked about the villain and the hero.
Others also believe that Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen will become the instrument in restoring the balance between ice and fire as Jon is the ice in Dany's fire. The union of the two main characters is the most common theory of many fansites as they share the Iron Throne in ruling the Seven Kingdoms.
The 65-year-old writer also discussed during the event how many fans begged him to write more explicit gay scenes in his future books. But much to the fans disappointment, Martin will not "shy away" from any storyline for writing his "Song of Ice and Fire" is "not a democracy."
Despite the popularity of the book series and its television show, the narrative is strictly not a democratic process. "It is not a democracy. If it was a democracy, then Joffrey would have died much earlier than he did," added the author.
