I chose the chapter Catelyn simply because I loved reading
about the life and marriage between Catelyn and of the Lord Stark of
Winterfell. They have an intense strong relationship to where no one is weak
because they are lifting eachother up. Catelyn will do almost anything for her
husband and supports him through anything and only wants the best for him. Ned
(Lord Stark) is in a predicament on whether or not he should agree to the Kings
terms on leaving and to stand beside him. When Catelyn receives a letter from
her sister saying that Arryn was murdered by the Lannisters, great anger took
upon Ned and Catelyn had no choice in supporting him to take the Kings offer. By
doing so, Ned would be taking 3 of children, leaving 2 with Catelyn, which
broke her heart. This chapter is very important in following the story within
the book. It tells us a lot about who Catelyn and Ned are and their family, and
shows the personalities and obstacles that they will later on have to face- and
gives a good sense of what life was like in their time. I think the character
of Ned changes drastically with the influence on his wife as well. I think
bigger viewpoints this chapter could ponteinall link to would be treatment of
women- only because in that time men were known to cheat on their wives, but
Catelyn and Neds relationship isn’t like most Starks. And I think medieval life
falls into this because the setting seems to be in a medieval time with kings
and lords, etc.
