Sansa's Chapter beginning with "They came for Sansa on the third day..."
This chapter was about Sansa and Jeyne Poole being locked in her room for a few days while Cersei and Joffrey kill off all of Ned's men. Anytime Sansa would ask about the whereabouts of her father or what was going on beyond her bedroom door, no answers were given. Finally, Cersei calls for Sansa to speak to her about Ned, who she and Joffrey claim to be a traitor. Sansa refuses to believe it, but Cersei basically tells her that the only way that Sansa would still be able to marry Joffrey was if she wrote letters to her family members telling them about Ned. Sansa, frightened and trapped, agrees to write the letters. Only at the very end of the chapter does she express any concern for Arya.
This chapter is awful. Sansa, in my opinion, is either gullible or deeply narcissistic. The whole chapter she complains about losing the chance to marry Joffrey, and doesn't seem to think about her family's well-being throughout the entire dialogue. I mean, I feel like she thought about changing her mind and defending her family, but when she heard that she will lose the title of "Queen" and Joffrey's wife, she immediately flipped the script. I mean, she was locked in a room for three days, not knowing the whereabouts of her father or sister, and yet all she can think about is her future with that jerk Joffrey. Although, this should have been expected considering she defended Joffrey over her own sister when they held the "trial" for Joffrey being injured by Arya. I would just really appreciate not reading another chapter from her POV for a while.
