Sometimes I feel so dumb as a reader
I was re reading agot and in the prologue, both will and gared feel like they were being watched, well, they were.
So, in Catelyn I, when she went to see Ned, she feels watched by the weirwood tree, then, on the same POV, she turns her back to the weirwood tree and she has the same feeling again and recall something old nan said.
I feel so dumb because, well, the prologue almost gives you a slap in the face showing the two old rangers feeling something weird going on, feeling watched then in the end, The Others appear. Some shit was happenning and they felt it
In the second POV of the book(Cat I), GRRM again shows a caracter feeling 'disturbed' by the enviroment and also feeling watched. Has to be on purpose, right?
I feel dumb because I never paid attention to this, also, is crazy to me that in the first pages of AGOT, he:
-Shows The Others.
-gives you information about them through Bran thinking about old nan "silly" stories
It feels like he intended the reader to think more as a "child" like bran and to believe most of what old nan is saying, than to be skeptical like Ned(and most caracters)
Also, those of you who read asoiaf in your own language, did you feel the translation kinda off sometimes?
