For this week, I decided to review Catelyn's first chapter. In this chapter Catelyn and Rodrik are riding and headed north. She reminisces about her childhood and enjoys the rain as Rodrik complains. She mentions how there is an inn at the crossroads ahead. They get to the inn, and the lady Catelyn remembers to be sweet and nice is bitter, and tells them that there's one room left, and that it is that room or nothing. They take it and head down for dinner. An arrogant singer approaches them and Rodrik tells him off (appropriately). Later, Tyrion recognizes Catelyn, and she accuses him of attempting to murder Bran. She takes him into her custody.
Discussion:
I chose this chapter because it is a chapter that has events that recur several times in this reading. For instance, this chapter relates to Tyrion's chapter when Tyrion is with them, and ultimately saves Catelyn. This chapter is also brought up in the final chapter of the reading. I honestly did not like this chapter that much, despite the fact that I selected it. It was very easy to relate back to the bigger picture, but it lacked intensity. This chapter is good to bring up the treatment of women. I say this because unlike many of the other chapter, a woman stands to hold authority; that is, authority to arrest another man.
