Character Review: Theon Greyjoy

Theon Greyjoy, the last remaining son of Baelon Greyjoy, was taken away by Ned Stark after the Iron Islands were defeated by Roberts’s army. Ned Stark cared of Theon just like his own son. Later on Theon betrayed Ned and his memory by capturing Winterfell for his real father, Baelon Greyjoy.
Theon was the best friend of the King in the North, Robb Stark. Theon was sent on a mission by Robb Stark. During which Theon betrayed Robb and took control of Winterfell right after Ned Stark’s death. He even had to prosecute Ser Rodrick. At last he was betrayed by his own people and submitted to Ramsay Bolton.  
Theon is a charcter of this play, whose life rotates around deep suffering. Ramsay Bolton even cuts out his Penis and submits to Theon’s father, Baelon Greyjoy. Ramsay tortured Theon in a very deep level because of which Theon even forgot his own identity. Ramsay forced Theon to be known as the Reek. Eventhough house Bolton was a torturous house since past, Ramsay was more torturous than any of his late ancestors.
Further, Theon suffers from Ramsay as he marries Theon’s so called sister Sansa Stark. Theon becomes helpless seeing his sister married to a torturous, evil, and usurper man. Later on Sansa and Theon are successful in fleeing from Winterfell. When Sansa comes under the protection of Lady Brienne, Theon asks Brienne to give her a horse so that he could return back to iron islands and settle the business there too.
In conclusion, Theon Greyjoy is a type of character who wants to rise in power even though he didn’t have any ability to be one of the Lords. Thus, there are lots of hurdle in his life to get what he wants.

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.

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...
