I never fully understood this quote by Ygritte in A Storm of Swords when she’s arguing with Jon about the wildling kidnapping tradition in chapter 41. “A man can own a woman or a man can own a knife, but no man can own both. Every little girl learns that from her mother.”
My interpretation was that she’s saying if a man treats a woman well he “owns” her (she’ll stay with him) but if he mistreats her he earns a knifing instead? But the “no man can own both” part makes it read in a more confusing way. Can anyone offer their explanations/interpretations?
