Ned's Chapter 351

In this chapter, Ned is trying to persuade the King not to kill Danerys because he feels like it's murder of an innocent. Robert insists on the killing of Danerys which then causes Ned to give up his position as the Hand. He then leaves and prepares to leave Kings Landing. Littlefinger comes to him and offers him information that hes been looking for so he has to go to a brothel. Robert wants Danerys dead because he hates the Targaryens and he hears about Danerys being pregnant which he feels like would be a threat to him being king. This is an important part of the book because it shows how much Robert hates the Targaryens and what he would do. It also helps Ned realize that Robert may not be the same man and the part where he gives up being a hand helps signify them moving apart. I liked this chapter because it helps show what Robert believes in doing as person and it helps Ned seem more of a great person which is good because I think Ned is a fair person and he has a good sense in right or wrong. This chapter also correlates with instances in real life where leaders send people to kill other people who threaten them personally. Even if the other person just wants different things. So it addresses the issue of whether or not its okay to send an mercenary after people.
