Yes, even Catelyn Stark gets a defense.
This post will be spoilery for the first three seasons of HBO’s Game of Thrones. If you’re not up on the series WHY NOT? Go watch it, then come back. I’ll wait.
Now that they’re gone, let’s get started.
In general, people who read the books or watch the show seem to like and appreciate the Starks. Even the flawed ones. It is typical for everyone to love Arya, to like Ned (but regret his code of honor), to be okay with Robb (but wish he’d have not been so … Robb), etc.
But often people complain about Lady Catelyn Stark and her (arguably) rash decisions. I’m on board with some of that.
I Can't Possibly Be Wrong All the Time
