Character Spotlight: Joffrey Baratheon

Hi friends! Today we put the cruel Joffrey Baratheon into the spotlight!
Joffrey was born of incest, and between this and the abuse at his "father's" hands, Joffrey grew up to be a very cruel boy. Once his "father", Robert, dies, Joffrey takes the throne and terrorises his people. He is killed at his wedding feast.

Story Diver is all about diving into stories! I look at how characters are developed or changed from a book to a movie, and I share some of the theories I have buzzing around my brain. Join me every Tuesday for a theory, and every Friday for a Character Spotlight!

I think you misspelled “arrogant little sadistic vicious idiot”

[@LadyCartman]

Cersei's order to kill the babies makes sense, but when I think about it, Joffrey would be worried about someone overthrowing him from the throne. And he is a cruel sociopath, so that makes sense too! Also I always thought why Cersei's first baby was never mentioned again. Maybe she was just playing some psychological game with Lady Stark - she was afraid that Bran would die, so she told her a story about that random baby to scare her in some way? I even heard a theory that the baby is actually Gendry, but that seems unlikely.

[@wtfmynamestaken]

It would've been better to keep it as Cersi but changing it to Joffrey who orders the bastards be killed makes him look even more of a monster

[@maggiecramer8154]

When it comes to that "first black haired baby" it is never mentioned by anyone else and cerci later says she always avoided having sex with Robert and the one/few times she did she had Jaimie get her moon tea to make sure she miscarried, so the simplest explanation here is that she was lying to catlyn

[@madethistocomment727]

I haven't seen much of the show, but maybe this other child and Joffrey were fraternal twins, with Joffrey born 2nd? In the clip at least, she just says "first boy". That could explain how people didn't really know about the other one since a child lived and makes Joffrey's aging still fit the time-line.

[@StoryDiver]

That would be impossible, the first child was very clearly conceived by Robert, whereas Joffrey was conceived by Jaime

[@madethistocomment727]

@@StoryDiverTrue in the case of identical twins (one egg splits) It actually can happen with fraternal twins (two different eggs) if the woman is, um, "with" two different men close together during that time. It's definitely rare though.

[@ameliamae1015]

Also. What series is this from?

[@StoryDiver]

A Song of Ice and Fire, which was turned into a tv show called Game of Thrones

[@ameliamae1015]

Could you mabey do more Hunger Games and Harry Potter character spotlights?? Mabey you could do a Cedric Diggory Chatacter Spotlight if you haven't already.😀

[@StoryDiver]

I won't be promoting JK Rowling's works anymore on my channel, and I have done all the Hunger Games characters where there is enough information to warrant a video

[@jedijournal9159]

@@StoryDiver ooh! Could you do a video on each district in Panem and the capitol. Give like discriptions of the layout, the history, the culture, detail on each individual industries and major victors please.

[@ameliamae1015]

Who’s more hated Like Joffrey Comment Ramsey

[@theweatherwitch2492]

Definitely Ramsay, he is a psychotic, sadistic freak.

[@racheldupuis9558]

Ramsay wasn't just derenged or cruel. He was intelligent! He would have won the battle of the bastards, but he didn't know about the Eyries (Spelling?) He definitely was the one I hated the most

[@augustinensang3109]
