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: Gregor Cleagane

Ser Gregor Clegane is the head of House Clegane, a knightly house from the Westerlands, and the elder brother of Sandor Clegane. When Sandor and Gregor were children, Gregor held his brother's face in a fire for playing with one of his toys without permission, horrifically scarring him. Gregor is a landed knight rather than a full-fledged lord. Gregor is monstrously huge, said to be the largest man in Westeros. He is feared throughout Westeros with a reputation for ferocity and anger. He is a loyal retainer and servant of House Lannister, particularly to Lord Tywin. Numerous servants have gone missing at the Clegane keep over the years, apparently killed by Gregor for minor slights in one of his infamous fits of rage, and their deaths then covered up.

Character Review: Janos Slynt

Janos Slynt can be seen as a man who is very proud of his power. He commanded the city watch when he was in the King's Landing and then he was transferred to the Night's watch. In Night's watch he was a close adviser to Ser Alliser Thorne, the acting Lord Commander after Lord Commander Jeor Mormont's death. Janos Slynt can be seen as someone who do not take orders and who is proud of what he did some years ago in the city. He even thought that he deserved a better respect than any other looters, theives, or any high-born on the Night's watch. Further, Janos Slynt, at an occasion, denied the command from Lord Commander Jon Snow and faces his death. Anyhow we can say that it was a good end for a bad character. To recapitulate, Janos Slynt met a perfect death which was suitable for his character.

Character Review: Dickon Tarly

Dickon Tarly, the youngest son of the House Tarly, after Samuel Tarly, is depicted as a tall and strong looking character.

To recapitulate, Dickon Tarly was a good son of a loyal father, but he died following his pride.
