The research aims to make a sociological analysis about the A Song Of Ice and Fire, by George R. R. Martin, from a debate about the question of morality, specifically the problem of the virtues. The methodology used was mainly bibliographical research with auxiliary searches in electronic sites, videos and the commentaries of the readers of the afore mentioned books. For the concretion of the work, it traces a discussion about the concept of ideology as a “symptom”, affirming it as central for the articulation between morality, literature and society. At the same time, it is presented the notion of “utopian function” (BLOCH, 1996), complementing the concept of ideology and utterance of the fantastic elements in Martin’s work. Then, the analysis focus on the debate about the idea of “moral disorder” (MACINTYRE, 2001) and the discussion about the social production of moral values and virtues, and the reproduction of such virtues on literary works. From this point, the study turns to the analysis of the five books of the Asoif series and of the relevance of the specific way in wich the “Winter” and apocalyptic images are connected to a reordering of sensibilities. Finally, it is observed how the values and virtues are expressed in Martin’s work, making it possible for a reading of the A Song of Ice and Fire books as a “handbook of morality”, as an expression of the articulation of values and virtues on the capitalist society.
