But Tolkien doesn’t ask the question: What was Aragorn’s tax policy? Did he maintain a standing army? What did he do in times of flood and famine? And what about all these orcs? By the end of the war, Sauron is gone but all of the orcs aren’t gone – they’re in the mountains. Tolkien can say that Aragorn became king and reigned for a hundred years, and he was wise and good. We look at real history and it’s not that simple. Lord of the Rings had a very medieval philosophy: that if the king was a good man, the land would prosper.

In this post, I hope to provide an in-depth character analysis of Jon Snow. Jon is unique in the series in that many, if not most characters can be viewed as reflections or parallels of the choices he must make or the strength of his character-paths that he could take but doesn’t, journeys that he must learn from, or direct correlations to events in his arc. His real name in show canon is Aegon Targaryen (despite Rhaegar having another son named Aegon), although we’ve yet to discover if that’s his name in the book series proper.

His parentage has been hotly debated as a central mystery since A Game of Thrones was published in 1996–but that has seemingly been put to rest since the Game of Thrones TV show season 7 finale revealed what most of us had already known: Jon, the Bastard of Winterfell, was the legitimate son of crown prince Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark and therefore the heir apparent to the Iron Throne.
