(June 2, 2016 at 10:14 am)Whateverist the White Wrote: I just have a hard time believing this spoiled little kid -all that Joffrey was then- would have the wherewithal to try an off Bran. Besides his beef was with Arya. In the TV series at least (I can't recall about the books any longer), I think Cersie and Jamie discussed the need to do so.
His beef wasn't with Arya yet, though. The incident with the butcher's son happens on the road back to King's Landing. Also, Cersei and Jamie discuss the identity of the catspaw with each other in book two. They don't know who did it.
He was a spoiled child that never got any attention or validation from his dad. He overhears Robert saying that it would be kinder to put the boy out of his misery, and then tells the Hound to arrange it. That makes sense to me.
Littlefinger is far more cut-throat in the show than in the books. In the books his unending love for Catelyn is far more apparent. He would never harm Catelyn by murdering her child. Especially as he had no input or control over the things that followed. He does not kill indiscriminately, he kills to protect. Ser Dontos could have put everything in jeopardy, and Lysa was putting Sansa in jeopardy. He protects his investments. He does not marry Sansa to the Boltons. The Lannisters put up Jeyne Poole as an impostor Arya and arrange that marriage. In fact, he plans to marry Sansa to the lordling Robert Arryn's heir, the dashing and handsome Harrold Hardyng. Since Robert is a weak child and unlikely to produce an heir, Sansa would have a clear path to regaining Winterfell from the Boltons with the Lord protector of the Vale as her husband.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
