LawHawk Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I'm new here. I'm curious what people think of one of my favorite characters, Theon. I was on the fence about him after AFfC, but after (1) reading in ADwD the horror that he was put through by Ramsay, and (2) seeing the AMAZEBALLS job the show folks did with Theon (writers and Alfie Allen), I have decided I really like him and hope good things happen to him.So, what do you think of Theon? Love him? Hate him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeromus Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Love him - he's my second favourite character.He's one of the book's true grey characters and as such is widely misunderstood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolene Brown Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I liked him even at the end of A Clash of Kings. He, Jaime, and the Hound all might as well be written specifically for me, they are so exactly what I want in a character. They also serve as good counterpoints to each other - sort of interesting variations on a theme, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordBloodraven Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I pitied, admired and felt sympathy for Theon at the end of ADWD. Don't think that I love him even though I understand his reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tycho Nestoris Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I can't really like Theon - honestly, I think it's because he's pathetic, not because he's evil - his first encounter with his sister was just sad. But he is fascinating and I am interested to see what happens to him next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evamitchelle Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Love him despite all the terrible things he's done. 3rd favourite, after Cat and Jaime (and I also find Jaime and Theon's arcs somewhat similar in theme). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlainJane Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I hated his character throughout the series, BUT I thought his chapters were hands down the best in ADWD. While I may not like him as a "person," I now feel pity for his character and love reading about what he's going through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Last Direwolf Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I want him to die screaming. Does that answer your question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna Plath Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I hated his character throughout the series, BUT I thought his chapters were hands down the best in ADWD. While I may not like him as a "person," I now feel pity for his character and love reading about what he's going through.This. I love Theon on the show--Alfie Allen has done a great job at making him a sympathetic character--but in the books it's not so simple. His early POV chapters were kind of damning, but I felt sorry for/was fascinated by his arc in ADWD. He's not my favorite person, but he is one of my favorites to read about.

Only Fire and Blood? Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Hated him in ACOK but while reading ADWD I did feel sorry for him especially when he regrets what he did even if it was mainly down to what Ramsay did to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Come Try Me Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Never liked him but he did become much more interesting after he went through his "metamorphosis" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greensleeves Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I really liked watching him this season. He is a well written character. However, I don't actually like him. I think he is very weak psychologically and has been throughout the series. I wish he would do some major self-reflection and then grow a backbone.

Holy Sock Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I don't know if I like him or not but his ADWD chapters were great. So more theon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maester Zoidberg Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 No. He's a very interesting and tragic character and his chapters are well-written, but he is a pathetic, ego-centric moron that reaps exactly what he sows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanF Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 No, I don't like him, but I do feel some sympathy for him, after what he had to endure as "Reek." I agree that his chapters were among the best ADWD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristophUL Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 He is one of my favorite characters. I love how his smile pisses everyone off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter's Knight Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I pity him intensely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Selig Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I love Theon as a character, he's really well written.I don't like him as a person though, he was too arrogant and entitled before Ramsay got him. Of course I pity him very much for what he went through after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleDragon8 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I don't like him at all, but after what happened to him I can only feel very sorry for him. I agree that he's a well written character though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
