In response to "I really disagree on one of those. (spoils)" by the wrong element, bad guy

It seems like everyone dislikes Sansa, but she's a fourteen year old girl who has lost everyone she loves and was forcibly betrothed to a psycho whose family is killing everyone in her family. She has made mistakes that have had huge costs, but I don't see how a hired killer like the Hound is a better person than her.

Tywin - lost the woman he loved when she gave birth to Tyrion.

Joffrey - had two fathers, and neither of them cared about him

Cersei - daddy issues + traded into marriage with an oafish man who never tried to love her

Obviously I want to see all the Lannisters get their comeuppance. But they all have realistic, sympathetic motivations.

It may be quibbling, but I'd call them empathetic characters, not sympathetic - Reagen Mar 31, 08:10 1
- Yeah, that's fair enough - though several of the sympathetic characters do stuff that is not really justified either (spoilers) - Roger More Mar 31, 08:20
