The Hedge Knight read-through Part 1 - Dunk & Egg

Ойын-сауық

Featuring my good friend Grey Waste Tim! It’s the long-awaited Dunk and Egg read-through, so buckle up! We’ll read every line of Dunk and Egg over the next few streams and delve beneath the surface of these subtle masterpieces that are the stories of hedge knight Ser Duncan the Tall and his disguised companion, Egg, who becomes King Aegon Targaryen IV. This is the story of how they came to travel together.

    44:20 as a carpenter I can tell you that turned wood is an object carved from a whole log. Its called turned because the log is rotated while chiselled into a shape. So, if the lance is 8-9 foot tall it was made from an entire tree trunk. Such a large would object, made with old techniques of that period, would have needed master craftmen labouring for months or years.

    I realize this video is from quite a few months ago, but I’ve been listening to and watching so many of your videos and this is the first time I realized how much Cleo has the coloring of a weirwood tree! You’ve got me rereading ASOIAF -I’m noticing all the little mythological gems you’ve been talking about and all the foreshadowing. It’s making my reading even more enjoyable. I had a three hour conversation with my son the other day about the books and characters and all the references I’ve learned through your channel.

    Around 1:12:00 Dunk throws a copper (star?) down between Egg’s feet. Then as he leaves the shadows grow (by the shadow) as he reaches Ashford (Ashaii). Seems like a reenactment of Azor Ahai pulling down a meteor to corrupt the land by his capitol city. May be more in the language.

    “Nissa Nissa, bear your breasts and know that I love you most…” 43:54 turned wood just means it was carved from a larger piece of wood. A turned ash wood staff means the staff is made from the center part of a branch or trunk of ash. 1:14:14 words are magic, that’s why it’s called spelling! One of my therapists told me that to summarize our discussion over the power of self talk. 2:04:33 agreed! I’ve had a simple beaker cheech for years and I adore it.

    "The trees were bright with moonlight and the sky was cloudless and speckled with stars." Dunk doesn't turn around but he can feel the stable boy watching him. The next paragraph beginns "The shadows grew longer...". So there are white moon trees, stars and Dunk feel watched, and there are shadows. It sounds like Other's are watching with there star eyes.

    Love Tim noting the inflation/cost of living stuff. One thing I'll tack on is that the subsequent deterioration may've been avoided if Baelor had lived. The joust *does* change the price of eggs! Also, ton of Jesus in the Arlan burial. The grail is in brown, the thing containing Christ's blood is in the earth, Arlan is buried. Odin's not the only "speared to the wood" Godguy; the lance also evokes the Lance of Longinus. (And I have a tinfoil notion that Arlan comes back as Steely Pate. Dunk calls the Smith "the old man," acts as if he already knows Pate, and Baelor dies at Pate's hands. As if Arlan/Pate is settling the score.) WHEYFaced inn woman = Waif? Blood and pennies share a smell. So Dunk's fistful of pennies = Ned's blood-covered hand

    At the 2 hr 40 minute mark, it hasn’t been posed yet by you two whether Dunc was actually Knighted by Sir Arlen. It’s not too consequential either way. If true, probably just George pointing out yet again that “true knights” are better and more rare than real knighted knights. When trying to sign up for the lists, his ears turn red as he says he is a Knight. And in the opening scenes when he’s pondering whether or not to be a sell sword (I think), he says “unless…” As in, “unless… I pretend to be a knight.” Not my observations… In Deep Geek pointed me to that one.

    Prince Daeron is also doing a similar thing. He is a knight who doesn't want to be a knight, who runs away from his duties. He is drinking himself down into the mud. He could have been King of the Seven Kingdoms. He is a prophet but runs away. Trying to drown himself in alcohol instead.
