Characters – especially important ones – are regularly killed off in Game Of Thrones. It’s part of its charm.
The deaths in the show are always pretty brutal, with having quiet, peaceful deaths.
However, it’s about to get even more hectic because did you know there is a VERY important pattern in the way each important character has died?!
Sit down and get the popcorn out, kids.
This Reddit user discovered the pattern, which they have said all come down the a certain character’s “infamous moments.”
So, how somebody has brutally murdered someone else, is how they die. For example, Ned used his sword, ‘Ice’ to behead a Night’s Watchmen. He was later beheaded by his own sword. Walder Frey murdered Catelyn Stark by slitting her throat, and that’s exactly how Arya ended up killing him.
The below lists them all:
-
Ned Stark used his sword Ice to behead the Night’s Watchman; he was beheaded with his own sword.
-
Tywin ordered the Red Wedding, where numerous Stark men were killed by crossbow-wielding musicians; he was killed by a crossbow.
-
Roose Bolton killed Robb Stark with a knife to the heart; he was killed by a knife to the heart.
-
Walder Frey ordered Catelyn Stark’s throat cut at the end of the Red Wedding; he had his throat cut by Arya.
-
Ramsay Bolton was fond of feeding people to his hounds; he was fed to his own hounds.
-
The Sand Snakes were each killed in a way that mirrored their own style: Nymeria was strangled by her own whip, Obara was impaled with her own spear, and Tyene was killed by her favorite poison.
-
Olenna Tyrell killed Joffrey with poison; she was executed with poison.
-
Littlefinger betrayed Ned Stark by putting a knife to his throat, and the Valyrian Catspaw Dagger was used in the attempt to have Bran Stark assassinated, which he intentionally blamed on the Lannisters, sparking the Lannister-Stark conflict. He was executed by having his throat cut by the Valyrian Catspaw Dagger.
