Despite his fate in book 3, this is the character that would invariably get my blood boiling whenever he appeared in the pages of ASOIAF. The list of cruel acts wrought by this adolescent jerk go on and on (execution of Nymeria, beheading of Ned Stark, psychological and physical torture - by proxy - of Sansa, dick moves towards Uncle Tyrion, humiliation of Barristan Selmy, etc etc etc).

The Hound is so cool.... how can anyone hate the best tragic anti-hero in fantasy?

Well I would say Theon or Joffrey but I don't love to hate them. I just plain, flat out hate both of them. They make my skin crawl. However, I grudgingly admit I admire Petyr's craftiness and the fact that he seems to have his hand in nearly everything that happens in the series so he has my vote for the character that I love to hate.

Lysa Arryn is Probably the character that frightens me most - self-righteous and paranoid she is absolutely unpredictable and arbitrary. An incredibly abhorrent person. Ah, the satisfaction when she finally steppes into Littlefinger's trap and flies out her own moon door!

But I have to admit that at first thought I would have picked Cersei: she is not only cruel but also arrogant to the extremes and not even aware of it - which makes it even worse. She doesn't show compassion at all (except for herself). When I say I love to hate her I mean I not only NOT pity her at all, when she is being humilated and punished in her prison cell, but if I had a whip, I would gladly use it on her for a change. (Although normally I couldn't even harm a fly...) The stupid bitch! Nevertheless - at least I can understand her motives.

Hahahahaha There are just to many characters that I love to hate in this series...but I couldn't help noticing that WALDER FREY was not on the hit list...I mean hate list ^^ I agree with dieanja about Cersei and Lysa, but the things Walder Frey does(did) are just unforgivable! X( Does anybody remember what he did to Robb after he killed him?! He sewed Greywind's head onto Robb's body! THE SICK BASTARD! I HOPE HE ROTTS IN HELL! FUCK WALDER FREY!... sorry about that haha but the fact that I can have so much hate for these characters just proves how good the series is! :D

Don't even get me started on Joffrey!

Walder Frey, stupid, evil, ugly, worthless old fool! I am so not happy with the Freys

I agree Twisk.

URrgh

Joffrey was a great villain! I very much enjoyed his evillness!

Walder Frey is a total prick, Robb was kicking everyones ass on the battlefield then Frey kiils him at a wedding, BACKSTABBING CUNT!

He was Really fun to hate!

And Catelyn and Walder.

But Walder Frey comes in close second.

i agree with SilverDoe29

How could he kill my precious Viserys?

A brilliant villain, who is needed and in a amoral sense, I love to hate him.

How can annybody hate Sandor?!

Theon is so complex, I hate him for it! :D

Sometimes Catlyn becomes stone hearted especially with Jon I hate her at that moment but she's good after all

Ramsay, man. Ramsay Bolton. I don't love to hate him. I just hate him.

ahdkfhskdhddn a grieving mother who had to put up with 14 years of humiliation thanks to Ned's lie is an option but not a girl who allowed kids to be tortured or a guy who raped slaves among other horrors.

This fandom gives cancer.

Astra- because violent pedos are easy to hate?

How was he not on the list to start?
