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

He got what he deserved imo..

Any person who says that an individual deserves to be tortured beyond his own recognition doesn't know justice and doesn't know mercy.

Theon deserves a quick death. But he doesn't deserve to get his fingers flayed to the point that he'd rather bite them off than endure the pain. His teeth broken and removed that he cannot eat without suffering. Dude probably lost half his body weight.

I understand the "he got what he deserves" stance. But anyone saying that is just trying to look like a big man.
