Re: UGH Sansa Stark (ASOIAF)

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt

I don't think her spinelessness is necessarily a legitimate argument, no, mostly for those reasons. I don't think she is spineless. I think she gets put into situations where she has very little in the way of power. And I also think... I mean, no one ever really tells Sansa that all this political stuff is going on. Everything Sansa's heard is the extremely idealistic, romantic version of how life works and what her role in it is. That's how her parents have trained her and that's how everyone has trained her, and she's been rewarded for thinking that way - she is The Good Daughter. And so that's how she sees the world.

And so her actions are the result, as much of anything, of her upbringing and the norms that she's internalized. And by the time those illusions get stripped away, it's too late for her to do anything - she's facing an overwhelming power. It's not just having responsible adults around her; she does have responsible adults around her, but the interactions she has with them and the actions and attitudes she sees are very specific and limited. And that results in her choices and actions. Of what she can do, and what is good and bad. And I think that getting out of that shell is essentially what her storyline is all about.
