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 when they entered King’s Landing. Robb blindly declared war against the crown declaring himself ‘the King’ with the help of his loyal companion, one of whom was Theon, and named himself as the King in the North. Later on, during the war preparation Robb sends Theon to Iron Islands where he could request his real father to assist Robb for the war against the Crown. Instead, under the command of his father Theon captures Winterfell for the Iron-Borne. To gain power Theon even executes Ser Rodrick infront of the acting Lord of Winterfell Brandon Stark. Anyway Theon learns his lesson when he couldn’t defend Winterfell from Boltons, long time enemy of the House Stark.

In this way, we can recapitulate the betrayal of one character to another. So, we should learn to chose our friends wisely.

Character Review: Rhaegar Targaryen

Rhaegar Targaryen who is only depicted in the Season 7 marrying Lyanna Stark in the vision of Brandon Stark was killed by Robert Baratheon. He was the rightful heir to the throne of the seven kingdoms but he died. Rhaegar's first wife was Princess Elia Martell, who was killed with her children. It is also said that she was raped before she got killed. Rhaegar secretly married Lyanna Stark at a secret ceremony at the Dorne. It is now depicted in this series-Game of Thrones- that Jon Snow is the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark, making him the rightful heir to the iron throne. Rhaegar is considered as the most handsome person in the series. It is somewhere stated that Rhaegar never liked killing people instead he loved to sing. In one episode Ser Jorah the Andals (Mormont) states that "Rhaegar fought nobly, Rhaegar fought valiantly, and he died." His real death was caused by the leader of the Robert's Rebellion, Robert Baratheon, who later seized King...

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.
