Thequestion isnt if Jon Snow will be resurrected, but when and how.
Will Jon Snow Be Living Inside Ghost In The Winds Of Winter?
The Stark direwolves were a memorable and underused part of Game of Thrones, but what happened to them?
Here’s where every direwolf ended up in GoT.
Jons journey beyond the Wall involves him meeting Orell, a fellow skinchanger.
When Orell is killed, his consciousness transfers into his eagle, even following Jon around afterward.
But the skulls were here as well, the skulls were all around him.
Melisandre had seen his danger before, had tried to warn the boy of it.
Enemies all around him, daggers in the dark.
He would not listen."
The books have shown Jon having dreams of himself as Ghost, highlighting him subconsciously warging into his direwolf.
This isnt just a prominent role,its literally making one of the direwolves a main character.
Theres even a chance for full Jon-as-Ghost POV chapters, which should be fascinating.
Beyond that, the theory can also play into Jon being changed when hes resurrected.
Death is supposed to change people who are brought back.
WhenCatelyn Stark is resurrected as Lady Stoneheart, shes essentially a non-verbal zombie consumed by a desire for revenge.
None of that factored into the show, and certainly not with Jon.
He came back a bit more reckless, but was otherwise the same heroic guy.
He will have lost some of himself, and become a little more wolf-like.
Im pretty certain itd be great, now we just need the book to release.
