Re: OP
(Anonymous) 2014-11-30 02:50 am (UTC)(link)Is it a common torture device within the world of the narrative though, or something the Boltons are more notorious than others for using?
You may not have thought twice about it, but would a character within that world (assuming they were of their right mind and could even tell what they were tied up to -- I personally don't think Theon has the wherewithal in that scene to know at all, rendering OP's complaint sort of redundant)? E.g. would a Theon who hadn't just endured everything he had make the connection, or is the method common enough throughout the world of the series that he wouldn't?
Every reference I rememember when it comes to the flaying etc. seems to comes with a reference to the Boltons. I don't remember anything similar being used by anyone else.
I guess I'm just asking whether the reader/viewer and the character would be seeing the significance in the same way.
