You know, I agree with that, I can certainly understand that people who don't understand the purpose of Catelyn's character, will dislike her.

But, at the same time, I am also of the belief that half of it is just wilful ignorance. As in, they simply refuseto understand. But idk, maybe that's just me, and my love for Cat blinding things. Idk.

Yeah, I think that people are just really stupid about her. Like she's a mother, so they try to make her fit into either the benevolent mother or evil stepmother trope and she's not either of those things. She doesn't fit neatly into any category.

And I think that there is a lot of Not Getting It going on when it comes to the larger themes of the story too. Catelyn is an anti-war narrative. (Fun fact! GRRM was a conscientious objector during the Vietnam War.) She tries to get Robb to sue for peace at the end of AGOT. Also in AGOT when Edmure is like, "I will get vengeance and kill the Lannisters for what they did to Ned!" Cat is just like, "and that is going to bring Ned back.... how???" And then she sees Renly's camp and thinks about how those men know nothing about war. Cat knows the human cost of war. She's seen a war before and it's awful. And like... NO ONE GETS THAT ABOUT HER STORY. Cat doesn't want war. She just wants her family safe. She sees the folly of war. I DON'T think we're supposed to look at the war and think of how glorious it all is and how righteous Robb's cause is. We're supposed to see the cost and tragedy of it all.
