Character Review: Shae

Shae, a prostitute, acted as a very intimate lover of Tyrion Lannister. Tyrion Lannister was the son of the most powerful person in Westeros, Tywin Lannister. Shae must have acted to fall in love just because of Tyrion’s profile as a son of Tywin.
Shae and Tyrion met in a tent during the preparation of war between the Lannister and the Starks. They were accompanied by Bron, a Sellsword, who can fight his life for some gold. Tyrion says the whole story how he was pranked by Jaime about his lover. He even expresses that he loved the girl very much but Jaime pranked upon him by sending a prostitute to him. Tyrion didn’t know that Shae was a prostitute, or he didn’t mind what she really was. Shae saw the benefit that she can have by just being with Tyrion Lannister.
Next, as the story developed sequentially, Shae reaches to the Kings Landing, inside Tyrion’s Chamber. Nobody knew that Shae was an ambitious girl, whose only motive was to make Tywin fall in love with her. Later on Shae shows her real color when Tyrion was escaping from Kings Landing with the help of his merciful brother Jaime Lannister. He decides to see his father for the last time, who had declared Tyrion the murderer of the Late King Joeffrey. Tyrion finds Shae on the chamber of Tywin, in his bed. Then Tyrion kills Shae first then Tywin and leaves the King Landing to sail for the Dragon Queen.    

In conclusion, Shae wasn’t a lover of Tyrion Lannister and she was faking it till the end. Hence, George R. R. Martin has beautifully tried to portray that in life you might find such a lover too.

Character Review: Sandor Cleagane

Sandor Clegane, also referred to as 'the Hound' is a knight in the famous series of Game of Thrones. His first depicted duty was a member of Kings Guard, or to protect the King from any harm. Sandor Clegane's main duty was with the King, Joeffrey at the time, but he left the red keep. He later resigned himself because he thought that fighting someone else's war while the main person whom it matters sits on a safe place would be worthless and honor-less to him. Sandor Clegane has a scar of fire in his head. His head was burned by his brother because he was playing with one of his brother's toy. Now his only aim remains to kill Gregor Clegane, his own brother-- as revenge. It can be seen that his burned face always makes him remember about his evil brother. To recapitulate, Sandor Clegane was a great knight whose only aim remains to kill Gregor Clegane, his own brother, as depicted by the series so far.

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.
