Ramsay Bolton: The Most Sadistic Man in Westeros | Character Analysis | ASOIAF

Imagination sometimes brought to light the worst aspects of humanity; the worst actions, the worst thoughts, the worst traits. While in the real world, such evil is often ignored or repulsed from our everyday thoughts, in fiction, it could force an audience to reflect on such a grotesque nature by manifesting in a specific person or thing. In A Song of Ice and Fire, that man was Ramsay Bolton. Hello everyone, and welcome back to Exploring Fiction. Born from absolutely contemptible circumstances, Ramsay seemed doomed from the start, and indeed, he grew into a man who seemingly possessed no redeemable characteristics. Giddy at the art of torture and feeding off the negative emotions around him, Ramsay grew unhinged and depraved. He put his quick wits to use, and eventually rose so high as to become a legitimized son of the Dreadfort, but his nature never changed. One would be hard-pressed to find a sicker man in the Seven Kingdoms than Ramsay. So, who exactly is Ramsay Bolton, and why is he such an interesting character? Let’s explore…
