Re the dragon burning the Throne. I could witter on forever about that. Commonly dragons represent the subconscious, greed, and time in myth. For Jon the last standing Targaryen rejecting the throne it was absolutely right for the dragon to burn it. The whole thing of him being unopposed by Drogon twice makes perfect sense in the hero's journey, the challenge here being the self and temptation. Character is what you are alone in the dark, Jon has his moment of final temptation and passes.
I've got a personal theory that the dragons represent aspects of Danny's personality. As they die so do elements of her pyche, leaving only Drogon the largest, fiercest. Does the rider control the dragon, or the dragon control the rider?
It's really, really needed Jon talking about what was going on in his head all those times he looked Drogon directly in the eyes to someone. The whole Danny and Jon and Dragons arc hasn't been touched in the book. I'm not surprised D and D fucked it royally, Martin has been putting off writing it for YEARS.
