HS=HR: is the High Sparrow secretly Howland Reed?
Alt Shift X・2 minutes read
The High Sparrow is speculated to be Howland Reed, using his position to gain power and possibly seek vengeance against those who harmed the Starks, with evidence suggesting physical similarities and potential motivations, but challenges including Reed's absence and implausibility of the theory. Despite tantalizing facts, the theory lacks strong evidence and is likely untrue, with alternative scenarios suggesting Reed may be supporting Jon Snow's claim to the North behind the scenes.
Insights
- Howland Reed, the last survivor of the Tower of Joy fight, holds crucial knowledge about Jon Snow's true parentage, making him a pivotal figure in the overarching narrative of the story.
- The HS=HR theory proposing that the High Sparrow is Howland Reed, aiming to gain power and seek vengeance, faces challenges due to logistical inconsistencies and lacks substantial evidence, suggesting it may not hold true in the complex web of Game of Thrones narratives.
