re: Crackpot ASOIAF Theories SPOILERS

Jon killing Slynt is one of my favorite Jon moments and makes him a badass 
.
I've been reading ADWD and I like the idea of Jon and Val getting together (after his potential resurrection/rebirth in TWoW) contrary to the fangurls on the ASOIAF forum who want Jon and Satin to happen
.
There's an interesting theory I read that some of Jon's story parallels Snow White. I'll have to find it. Here's my summary of it:
It mainly has to do with Bowen Marsh aka the Old Pomegranate. Pomegranates themselves are symbols, and it was thought that Adam and Eve were tempted by the Pomegranate rather than an Apple. The same can be said for Snow White, and Pomegranates (apples) symbolize death. Snow White died from eating a poisoned apple (pomegranate), and Jon was killed by The Pomegranate. It is thought that Val or Mel may be the ones to bring him back to life with a "kiss" (could be either or both literal/figurative) .In relation to Jesus, the pomegranate symbolizes death and resurrection, and a lot of Jon's story/character is a motif for Christ. There is also a lot of Ancient Greek and Norse mythology associated with Jon's story but a lot of his story parallels Christ.

As you are reading ADWD there is another nice little foreshadowing of Jon's death and potential resurrection during one of Mel's visions. When she is bitching about looking for AA and only seeing Snow every time, she mentions how she sees a vision of him and in it now he's a man, then he's a wolf, now he's a man again. This combined with the prologue of ADWD and Jon's last words being "Ghost" makes it a shoo in I think.

And this is why the only board I read on the ASOIAF website is the Literature one.

Honestly, Janos Slynt's death is probably the most satisfying one yet. Just when you think Jon is about to puss out on the hanging by saying "This isn't right" he says "Edd, fetch me the block". The biggest frick yeah moment for me in the series. Slynt goes out like the spineless coward he really is and Stannis Baratheon gives Jon a fist pump.
I think I may despise Slynt more than Joffrey. Never met someone like Joffrey in my life, but I have met a few Janos Slynts in my day, which makes me despise him all the more.
