Lili Targaryen Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Hi! I'm new to the forum and this is my first post. What characters do you personally think is the most upsetting or tragic, and has the saddest moments? For me it would have to be Arya or Tyrion. They are the only characters, whose inner monologue has made me cry. I don't know why I find Arya so tragic, but moments like: "She could feel the hole inside her every morning when she woke. It was a hollow place, an emptiness where her heart had been." or "She dreamed of wolves most every night. (...) They would never leave her." She just breaks my heart :( And all the moments where Tyrion thinks about his childhood. Like where he dreamed about having a dragon of his own, and then found out they were all dead so he cried himself to sleep. But what do you think? Sorry about my english :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasporio Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Both Arya and Tyrion are often slandered as near sociopath. An opinion i disagree with. Ok they kill, enjoy it, but they are not sadist. And both have a very troubled background. Arya is badass but she does have a moral compass that would likely prevent her to become a monster like... dunno... Cersei ?

They are morally grey characters, but you can see how they got that way. I just can't help it, I love them! I find both fascinating and also very tragic in my opinion :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConfusedCounselor Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Saddest: Jeyne Poole. From silly preteen ogling cute knights to witnessing the slaughter of the Stark household, to sex worker, to torture toy... :frown5: Now she lost a nose to frostbite and if the foreshadowing can be believed her life will end in assisted suicide in the House of Black and White. :frown5: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both have lost everything :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConfusedCounselor Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Theon I do not think is particularly sad. He wasn't a very nice person to begin with and that stops me feeling too sad about him. I do feel he is very tragic though. A squidwolf put into an almost impossible dilemma, which he further complicates by playing a squid half the time and a wolf the other.

Her family were just servants to the Starks. They were not playing the game and simply followed the Starks to King's Landing. Jeyne is an innocent.

Kasporio Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Theon suffered the most indeed. His sins (and alleged sins) didnt deserved such a punishment. I hope Ramsay will suffer as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ravenstark Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Theon suffered the most indeed. His sins (and alleged sins) didnt deserved such a punishment. I hope Ramsay will suffer as much. He murdered two children just a so he wouldn't appear as incompetent as he is. And had then skinned, and I am not sure which one came first.

Lady Snow Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Arya and Tyrion I agree with, I feel very sad and oft find myself in tears reading their chapters. I would add Theon/Reek too as those ADWD chapters made me weep :bawl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And had then skinned, and I am not sure which one came first. Yep and how many children died cuz of Ned, Robert, Robb, Stannis... rightfull crusades to ride the kingdom of evil ? When ISIS burn a village to the ground, enslave and kill people its wrong. When a drone pilot in utah burns a school or hospital to ashes its democracy. Who's right ?

purple-eyes Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Nobody can beat rhaegar on sadness. Even cersei wanted to heal his sadness. So it must be some really huge sadness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
