Jon Snow’s resurrection could be completely different in The Winds of Winter and fans aren’t ready

Jon Snow’s death and resurrection are undeniably an intriguing factor that the fans have been eager to dive into in The Winds of Winter. Though his resurrection in Game of Thrones had a unique approach, it can be expected that his resurrection will not be similar in The Winds of Winter.

As time passes after Jon’s death, the anticipation regarding how Snow’s character will be resurrected in the sixth novel of the franchise rises. Here are the speculations regarding the possibility of a different resurrection in the novel.

Possibility of a completely different resurrection of Jon Snow in The Winds of Winter, speculations explored

As the fans eagerly wait for The Winds of Winter, speculations regarding how the resurrection of Jon Snow will be done continue. Among the many speculations, it must be noted that the chances of his resurrection being completely different are quite high. It is not rare to see resurrections of crucial characters in the franchise.

As Jon Snow has a significant presence in the storyline, his resurrection is undeniable. However, questions arise about how the resurrection will take place. In Game of Thrones, Snow’s resurrection created an immense impact among the viewers, especially with his return.

A distinct approach that the show had was bringing back Jon Snow without many significant changes. For The Winds of Winter, it can be expected that there will be significant changes for Snow.

The time period for which Snow has been dead also plays a crucial role in depicting the difference that The Winds of Winter will have in his resurrection. In Game of Thrones, Snow was only dead for a short period of time, which is not the case for the upcoming novel. In A Dance with Dragons, Jon Snow is killed in a brutal manner with four daggers. He was not able to feel the “fourth knife”.

Right before his death, he also “whispered” Ghost’s name. Many fans have speculated that Jon was able to transfer his consciousness to the direwolf’s body, as he is a warg. However, the fact that Jon is a warg is not mentioned in the series but is a crucial factor in the books. Hence, this factor will also be a contributing factor in the differences after his resurrection.

This is rather a usual approach of George R. R. Martin’s characters. Just as Beric became quite different after the resurrection, about which George R. R. Martin spoke in a previous interview with TIME, noting that “every time he’s a little less Beric”. The memories that Beric had kept “fading,” and he also ended up with more and more “scars”, eventually becoming “physically hideous”.

This further indicates that the resurrection in The Winds of Winter is going to be quite significant. The Winds of Winter has remained incomplete for 15 years. In a recent post on Not a Blog, George R. R. Martin did not share any updates regarding the book. Rather, Martin, who is 77 now, opened up about the struggles that he has been through this year.

This further brings a shadow of uncertainty about The Winds of Winter. In the post, he notes that it has been “overwhelming” as there were times when “dreams” came true, but also “nightmares”. He also spoke about losing friends and his struggles of battling with “sadness and depression”. However, while pondering about “getting old,” he also noted that he had “amazing times”
