Episode 175: A STORM OF SWORDS, DAVOS III: ”Shadow and Flame”
Hello and welcome to the NotACast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast going through A Song of Ice and Fire one chapter a week! In this episode, Davos cools his heels in jail before chatting with his jailor Melisandre and his fellow prisoner Alester Florent. This week, we:
- Frame this chapter as a crucible pivot point within Davos' ASOS arc
- Explore the ambiguous duality in his dynamic with Melisandre
- Deconstruct Melisandre's rigid binary worldview
- Poke fun at Alester Florent
- Set up Davos' quandary going forward: how does he further Stannis' cause as anything but a suicide mission?
Next week: Jon Snow explores several cave systems.
