Eddard's chapter is set in King's Landing where it begins with Ned, his two daughters, and Septa Mordane eating breakfast. During their breakfast, Grand Maester Pycelle alerts Ned that Robert has passed away, which leaves Ned to call upon the other lords so he can read Robert's will for the kingdom. The end of the chapter reveals that Cersie and the rest of the kingdom had planned to take the throne despite what Ned read from the will. The final ending of the chapter leaves Littlefinger pointing a knife at Ned's throat with the quote, "' I did warn you not to trust me, you know?"'
Reaction/Analysis:
The reason I picked Eddard's chapter was because this was the turning point in the story that revealed everything we had been thinking. The turning point came as soon as I read this part, "With a single sharp thrust, the nearest gold cloak drove his spear into Tomard's back," I knew it was all over. This section also sheds light on the true nature of Littlefinger, and where his loyalties lie. Although, Littlefinger did keep his word about the gold cloaks, but then he betrayed Ned, and because of that Ned is considered a traitor. All of the conflicts and action that took place really caused me to become entranced in the reading, and that is another why I picked this chapter.
