Character Review: Jon Snow


Born on a tower in Dorne, Jon Snow is the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark, sister of Eddard Stark. Lyanna was supposed to marry Robert Baratheon of House Baratheon, but was taken by Rhaegar.
Ned or Eddard Stark found this boy in a tower of Dorne beside his dying sister, Lyanna Stark, in her bed. As shown in the season 6 finale, "The Winds of Winter", Bran Stark has a vision of the past which shows Ned reuniting with a dying Lyanna in the Tower of Joy. Lyanna makes him promise that he will protect her son—Jon. He had promised his sister to protect this child. Ned was supposed to keep it secret that the child's name was Aegon Targaryen, the last living conqueror.
Jon Snow is seen as a slender, white Northman with brown hair and brown eyes. Jon Snow, at present bears the title, the King in the North. He was the first man to make friendship between freefolks and Northmens. He was also the 998th lord commander of Night's Watch, also called the Castle Black in the popular series of Game of Thrones.

Rob Stark and Theon Greyjoy

When you will describe these two characters you will obviously notice a great difference in both of them. One is: one of the friends is loyal to another one but another one is disloyal. It’s similar to saying that a Wolf’s in a Sheep’s clothing. George R. R. Martin is very creative in portraying the betrayal of Theon Greyjoy, the only living true son of Baelon Greyjoy of the Iron Islands, to his best friend Robb Stark. Robb Stark and Theon Greyjoy both were grown together in the Winterfell. Theon was brought by Ned Stark to Winterfell after the Robert’s army killed every living son of Baelon Greyjoy. Robb was pre-destined to be the Lord of Winterfell and the Warden of the North while Theon would only serve Robb as a loyal companion. Further, as the story progressed Ned Stark was kept as a captive for being a traitor on a false charge of committing crime against the crown. Robb Stark got angry about the news. He remembered how his Grandfather and Uncle were burned by the Mad King...

Character Review: Euron Greyjoy

Euron Greyjoy, brother of Baelon Greyjoy and uncle of Theon and Yara Greyjoy, is portrayed as an angry man who wants to avenge the Iron Island and get those lands that they lost to the Kings of the Seven Kingdoms. Euron is specialized in ship wars, just like pirates. Euron Greyjoy killed his own brother Baelon Greyjoy, who was the rightful King of the Iron Island. He even tried to kill his niece and nephew before they escaped for the Dragon Queen. Anyway he gets crowned because he proved to be the potent heir to the Iron Borne’s Thorne. Euron is very ambitious that he goes to request Cersei Lannister to marry him. For that, he was offering her, her most hateful enemies, who betrayed her and they were Princes of Dorne and Yara Greyjoy. Right now, in the TV series, Euron Greyjoy is sailing for the Iron Banks for more gold and sell-sword to face the unrelieved White Walkers and the Dragon Queen and the Stark boy. In conclusion, Euron Greyjoy is a power seeking, hateful, and stro...

Character Review: Baelon Greyjoy

Baelon Greyjoy, the ruler of Iron Islands and the father of Theon and Yara Greyjoy, was murdered by his own brother, Euron Greyjoy. He has a very less part in this series. Baelon can be considered a helpless father, who received his own son’s pen*s as a parcel from an enemy, who held captive of his son. He even dies of his own brother’s hand on a bridge. Baelon’s brother tries to murder even his nephew and niece. I assume Euron Greyjoy will die from the hand of Theon Greyjoy. Next, Baelon is also a helpless father when his son was taken by the Starks and the Baratheons as a captive for the misdeed the Greyjoy performed by supporting the Targaryen’s during the Great War for Seven Kingdoms. In conclusion, Baelon was unlucky from the very start of the series and had achieved very less until when he died.

Character Review: Alliser Thorne

Ser Alliser Thorne, one of the brother of the Night’s Watch, is characterized as someone who is very keen of being on Power. For instance, he captures the post of Lord Commander, when Lord Commander Jeor Mormont was killed by his own fellow men under the same roof beyond the wall, becoming the acting Lord Commander. Ser Alliser Thorne even loses the election for Lord Commander to Jon Snow, who was very renowned for his bravery. Ser Alliser never liked Jon Snow because he knew that someone else was becoming smarter than him and someday he might get even more popular than Ser Alliser himself. Ser Alliser was offended of his opinion, when the 998 th LC of the Night’s Watch, Jon Snow lets the wildlings through the tunnel. Ser Alliser even tries to kill the LC by shoving a knife in his heart. Later on Jon Snow comes back to life and hangs him up. In this way Ser Alliser’s story ends. In conclusion, he can be characterized as every other character in this famous play, who is always...
