Symbols in Game of Thrones

The Deeper Meanings of Animals, Colors, Seasons, Food, and Much More

By: Valerie Estelle Frankel

Narrated by: Ioanna Malandrenias

With dogs, wolves, ravens, blood flies, and more, animal symbolism is endlessly significant in Game of Thrones. Why does Daenerys receive magical eggs? What does a hand symbolize or a horn? There are meaningful towers and water gardens stretching from the pyramids of Meereen to the infamous Iron Throne. Meanwhile George R. R. Martin's characters chomp on bloody beef, blood oranges, red wine, beets, and pomegranates between the inevitable bloodbaths. The intricately crafted world of the books and the show have endless depth. It's all revealed in this companion for fans of every flavor.
