re: Is there a more tragic character than Theon Greyjoy, ever?

I feel bad for him. A lot of people seem to hate him because he betrayed the Starks, but I think it's a bit more complicated than that. He was a hostage of the Starks. He was just trying to make a place for himself among his own people, but it was too late for that. He wasn't strong enough, and the Iron Islands were no longer his home.

Then he gets horribly tortured and has his dick cut off. shite just wasn't cool.
