I find a great majority of people hate Theon. I find this so interesting. GRRM did such a wonderful job creating this character because it seems he simply wrote this character so that everyone could hate him.
Theon Greyjoy.. a person who did not belong to any family. His father never fought for him after he was captured .. and just wrote him off. His family couldn't care less.. so sad. The Starks.. always reminded him he didn't belong. That he was a prisoner, in fact everyone reminded him of that. Like it was his choice. So sad. And unfortunately, the one time he had a chance to regain his family back, he made the wrong choice. Peer pressure at its finest. So sad. What a horrible situation to be in. Then to be taken prisoner and tortured with no pity from anyone. I mean his sister did try, but he had already given up hope. A poor unfortunate soul. Seems like life is teaching him that he is meant for nothing but to be of service to others. Yes Theon isn't the best person in the world because life handed him a cruel hand.
So I guess that is where I am confused. How is it easy to hate someone like this after seeing life through his eyes? Does anyone pity Theon? I find myself wanting to give him pity because it seems no one has pity for him. Perhaps this is what GRRM intended to do when creating this character. Idk. Its just fantastic how he did it.
(Also, if you do hate him, thats understandable and GRRM did a great job creating a character that served this purpose.)
