Someone once told me Tywin wanted to keep Ser Barristan on the Kingsguard because he wanted to borrow his honor. It looks to me that Brienne reignited Jaime’s.
That part is beautiful. Jaime in the start realising that him have his hand back, the swords on fire, Brienne, the Kingsguard and Rhaegar... The prose on it too, is beautiful. GRRM describes dreams as no one.
“In this light she could almost be a beauty; in this light she could almost be a knight.” This may be the best piece of writting GRRM ever wrote- and that is saying something. There are so many lessons in Jaime’s fevre dream. There is so much softness in Brienne.
I love this narration more than almost any other piece in all of ASOIAF. It’s so well written, so realistic feeling, and such a critical moment for Jaime.
Yeah like it would be great if those guys that do the history and lore stuff animated a few of the dreams and prophecies from the books or even just this one
@@jackbharucha1475 It would've be incredible if, in the future after Winds Of Winter and Dream Of Spring are (probably) released, they make an ASOIAF animated series!
What a beautiful metaphor! Jaime needs to face his demons and his guilt from his past deep within himself. And while his family is leaving him, he faces the fight with Brienne, honest and pure Brienne, as his only other light in the darkness. Beautiful, just beautiful! The magic of GRRM writing!
@@maryswan5515 it doesn't matter . Duty is over everything in this world And what about the love for his children who he abondoned to war ? He was a D*k to his wife and kids !
True but Ser Arthur Dayne, Gerold Hightower, and all of the other kingsguard willingly served the Mad King, and, unlike Jaime, did not seem to feel any remorse for allowing him to endulge in his atrocities. Hightower even prevented Jaime from interfering with Aerys raping the Queen. What do you think they would have done if they were in Jamie's position that night? I personally think they would have let the city burn because the King said so.
Nathan Luz no he's was always a hero.. he killed the mad king regardless of how vows. He realized that he cannot blindly follow a king who does not care for his citizens meanwhile every key Knight has followed a blinded king or has their demons, Jamie truly is in/was in love with Cersei you cannot fault who he loves regardless how backwards it is.
Josef Boroff Dayne, Hightower and the others wouldn't let Aerys burn the city, but they wouldn't kill him either. There where other ways of preventing Aerys from burning the city without killing him. Jaime killed Aerys because Jaime doesn't care about vows, he did not like Aerys, Jaime did not want to be on the losing side, so killing Aerys was something easy for him. Jaime is not a hero, he sat on the throne and did nothing while his father's men killed the innocent members of the royal family.
Akshay Verma Jaime doesn't care about the citizens either, he sat on the throne and allowed his father to butcher the innocent members of the royal family and sack the entire city, thousands of women raped and children killed. To call Jaime a hero, now that's something i would never say.
I will be forever gutted that Robert's Rebellion was so underplayed in the show. Despite not regretting killing the King, the past clearly weighs on Jaime and is a big part of his character arc. His disillusionment with Kingsguard and 'true knights' mixed with a clear longing for their approval and the persistent idolasation of Arthur. He's ready to fight them (bull*siting his way through his chances really) but still calling them his brothers. And the allegory of Cersei being his one light at the beginning, holding the only torch... no wonder he sunk into his toxic family and dove head first into his obessive love of Cersei after there was no one left for him apart from them. Only ones to accept him still. And they are leaving, as the two parts of him battle for domination - Arthur Dayne and Smiling Knight.
The fires that ran along the blade were guttering out, and Jaime remembered what Cersei had said. No. Terror closed a hand about his throat. Then his sword went dark, and only Brienne's burned, as the ghosts came rushing in.
@@khonsu9378 I think Jaime will never change, he will always be piece of shit. Jaime didn’t do any honorable or good. His just son of rich man, his spoiled brat
My god!!!! I just found this channel and thank gods I did, your reading and the musique behind... I had chills, thank you for this! PS: I might have cried a little when Rhaegar appeared, "crowned in mist and grief". WOW!
The best most complex character. I am still not over how dirty they did his ending in the show... Depressing. Also, I think great twist is if Jamie is Azor Ahai somehow. I could see it
I think this dream indicates that both cersei and Jamie will die but brienne will bring him back. This scene is similar to Jon's crypt scene where Jon was also told this was not his place saying Jon and Jamie both should return after death
Jamie knowing Rhaegars immoral actions that pushed the war but still seeing him in this saintly way that is only worried about his wife and children is really sad. Out of all the people there, Rhaegar should not have as much influence on his consciousness, but does.
You're imagining Rhaegar to be a character he simply isn't. The Mad King''s immoral actions started the war, not Rhaegar's. Jaime is seeing Rhaegar for who he was, but you are imagining a different character based on what you think.
Is it at all possible for you to make these readings a spotify playlist? I don't know what the logistics involved are but I would absolutely love to queue some of the readings. It's so therapeutic.
Jaime didn't just let them die, according to this same dream he was killing the King WHILE the Mountain attacked the children. So, he didn't save those kids, but he saved everyone else in KL
Imagine if it is acceptable for bodyguards to kill their boss whenever they hear them order killings of innocent people. He would have been a legendary bad ass leading the defense of the red keep against his fathers army and eventually escorting the royal family out of kingslanding.
Delusion where? 😂😂😂 The king didn't just intend to kill innocent people, it was the parallel of blowing up an entire city with half a million people living in it. Besides, how was he supposed to lead the king's army, when he was just a 17 year old boy, do you really believe what was left of the king's army would've followed him into battle, especially knowing his father was the one attacking the city?
Kram I think it would be cool if Jaime and/or Stannis die by fighting off white walkers at the wall to allow Jon and company to escape, maybe at the end of book 6 or something
The Law I‘ve found the interview. George says that no characters of his books are wholly good or wholly evil..some see themselves as heroes but have committed acts of tyranny..others are seen as villains,as you see Jaime,but they also have done acts of compassion,or kindness,and they have people who love them.

I honestly wish narrators would just read the book and not do voices for the characters. Keep the emotion but don't try to perform the text and for fuck's sake DON'T DO VOICES.

"Why did you come back?" -Brienne said
"I dreamt of you"
"We all swore oaths" the weight of judgment in that one line
Heartbreaking
From the Sword of Morning no less… That’s some heavy weight
"If I only had my sword nothing could hurt me." Ah Jamie my sweet summer child
Jaime is such a great character.
The best
YES!
How honest and pure Brienne is.. That she comes in Jaime's dream.. Beside him while he searches for his redemption
Someone once told me Tywin wanted to keep Ser Barristan on the Kingsguard because he wanted to borrow his honor. It looks to me that Brienne reignited Jaime’s.
Brienne brings out the man Jaime really is,
Cersei brings out the monster everyone believes Jaime is!
"Crowned in mist and grief...." I love that line soooo much.
Saaaaaame
Meee tooooo
Rode prince RHEAGAR TARGERYEN
That part is beautiful. Jaime in the start realising that him have his hand back, the swords on fire, Brienne, the Kingsguard and Rhaegar...
The prose on it too, is beautiful. GRRM describes dreams as no one.
He slept under a Weirwood tree and had a Green Dream!
That was no weirwood. Just a tree with white bark
There was also full moon, so we don't really know if it was children or dornish.
@@robertsmith8734
Well, there were also stars, meaning it could have been Quaithe who sent the dream as well, lol.
"Relief made him dizzy."
I've felt this powerful emotion, I can completely understand how he feels.
"It was the voices of all the lannisters since lann the clever." Jaimes best chapter
“In this light she could almost be a beauty; in this light she could almost be a knight.”

We swore a vow.
And now it begins.
No, Now it ends!

“We all swore oaths...” Can really imagine this happening.
This is a power line. I feel for Jaime in this scene

Jaime Lannister did not need to look upon their faces to know them, five had been his brothers...
Brienne is the knight that Jamie wanted to be
There are no POV like me.Only me.
My absolute favorite reading of yours. It's beautiful..
I've lost count of how many times I've listened to it.
Gives me goosebumps every time. "We all swore oaths" *shudders*
Me too
Me too
The part with Brienne, the Kingsguard and Rhaegar was truly amazing
I hope Jamie ending the books (If they ever finish) is better than the shows
We've been waiting a decade. George doesn't give a fuck anymore
@@andrewmcgill9544 lol😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 To be fair, it's probably because there are too many POVs so the story has become too complicated for him to wrap up.
Such a powerful chapter. Its always been hard for me to like Jamie but this was the moment that made me start.
Really? Not "Jaime, my name's Jaime"?
'Armoured all in Snow'
"She's warm." WOW this line fits perfectly with the music!
“We all swore oaths” say the dead to their brother who is still living but should be with them
I like how this dream highlights the fact that an oathbreaker like Jaime is a better man than the "true knights" would ever be.
Nathan Luz Yes.

10:37 Jaime's sword goes out before Brienne. Foreshadowing that Brienne will outlive Jaime?
No but rather she is his savior

Please don’t let these die
Prophetic dream by Jaime.
When he try to explain why he killed aerys, gosh I think he was shit scared about what they were going to do
I think this dream indicates that both cersei and Jamie will die but brienne will bring him back. This scene is similar to Jon's crypt scene where Jon was also told this was not his place saying Jon and Jamie both should return after death
