>>5901940 maybe the pacifist notions of the Vietnam conscientious objector GRR Martin succeeded?
>>5902461Maybe all his brutal depictions of gore, hand amputations and battle disfigurement dissuaded the populace from belligerence and cruelty...?
Anyway, here is John Bolton of House Bolton and the Flayed Man hehe. This is my favourite hero character, I find him very relatable, yay
(Can I just say, in the UK the word Bolton brings up strange associations. Maybe you can get away with it with obscure words like Craster, less so with Selwyn lol but Bolton... it is a place and I can hear the accent lol I don't think this is the effect GRRMartin intended to produce. The way he chooses names is often very unfortunate. I am not sure how to convey this for his US audience maybe if you wrote a medieval novel, you needed a name not quite Final Fantasy Clive Blackrock but say Lincoln, that is like a medieval sounding Robin Hood name, so lets call the hero: Lincoln, Abraham Lincoln. That sounds pretty medieval and authentic. Essentially all of GRR Martin names produce this sort of effect in me, it gets worse the more and more you look into it lol, I don't think it is deliberate, from his carefully calibrated PR interview GRR Martin seems like a pretty reasonable person lol)
