Would any of the POVs commit suicide?

[Ser Greg of House House]

Now, we know Martin isn't shy to write shocking and violent stuff. But suicide is one thing we don't see too much in ASoIaF.

We also know that Martin gets us inside the head of the characters. A character comitting suicide would be a challenge to any writer. I'd be surprised if Martin haven't considered it.

Theon thinks about it, but never really does it.

So... Do you think Martin will ever write a suicide chapter?

[Queen‍‍‍‍‍‍ Alysanne‍‍™]

Closest person to doing it was Cat but now that she is dead I don't think any of the other characters are that depressed.

[Arthur Dayne's Honor]

Cersei MAYBE

Jorah

Jon Con if he finds out fAegon is fake

[Mladen]

Yes, it certainly would be a challenge. Theon considers it, Sansa for a brief moments, we had Cat's devastating pain, and Bran's depression. But, will we see it, I am not sure.

[Bittertea]

I'd say that Jon Con would have the highest chance of suicide out of all the P.O.V characters.

[thewingedwolf]

I am going to go out on a limb and say Arya is more likely. After her list is completed and I can see how she would give herself "The Gift" to rejoin with her family (especially if she finds out about Jon).

[Queen Elsa]

Cersei. She's already digging her own grave.

[mindchap]

The only way I could see it would be if it were a sacrifice to save someone else, but I doubt that's the kind of suicide you're referring to, so I would have to go with no unless something drastic happens down the road.

[Joyful Union]

Jon Con because of the greyscale I would say.

[FacelessDude]

Cersei. She's already digging her own grave.

True.

But I think Cersei is more likely to die from her unruly behavior and addictions, a slow unintentional death rather than the act of suicide.

[Morienthar]

Arya I think will eventually tire of it all and gift death to herself...

[Light a wight tonight]

I'd say JonCon is the most likely. Not necessarily killing himself but doing something suicidally dangerous.

[FacelessDude]

Arya I think will eventually tire of it all and gift death to herself...

I assume the saying will be "what do we say to the God of Death? Today!"

[The Angels' Prophet]

*shudder* with GRRM's writing abilities, Any POV suicide would be really depressing to read,,,especially if it were Arya, who I think is the most likely, next to maybe Jaime, if he gets away from LS finding out that Brienne betrayed him. But that's a big maybe, because Jaime honestly doesn't seem like the suicidal type to me...yet at the same time, he kind of does...hmmm... :dunno: .

Nah, he was pretty damn depressed in AFFC, but I don't see him killing himself unless shit really hits the fan in his personal life (If Jaime learns of the Others, I think he will fight to the damn end.)

[KamiShikkaku]

I kinda thought Jaime was about to commit suicide at the end of ASOS after he writes his own entry in the White Book...

A little stupid in retrospect...

[KamiShikkaku]

Also, it's worth mentioning that Arys Oakheart essentially killed himself.

[Dragonstar]

I'd say Theon is most likely :(

[ARYa_Nym]

The FM see death as a gift but it doesn't mean that they see it as one to themselves. Jaqen didn't want to kill himself.

Arya seems to think that suicide is stupid:

"He is a man of the Night’s Watch, she thought, as he sang about some stupid lady throwing herself off some stupid tower because her stupid prince was dead. The lady should go kill the ones who killed her prince. And the singer should be on the Wall."

She's more likely to be killed or freeze to death.

The only way I could see it would be if it were a sacrifice to save someone else, but I doubt that's the kind of suicide you're referring to, so I would have to go with no unless something drastic happens down the road.

Yes, I was thinking about a depression related suicide, not a heroic one. Beric kind of kills himself to save Cat, so that already happened.

[Pod The Impaler]

We've already had one POV suicide - it was Arys Oakheart.
