⇨ SPOILERS WARNING !! This article might contain spoilers, so please scroll down carefully to avoid being spoiled for a book you haven't read yet.
In this I talk about : Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Mortal Instruments, Divergent and Game of Thrones.
For me, i believe that books are not just stories, they're a whole life; a glimpse of one we get to live in an alternate universe for a few pages. Throughout the book, the story becomes your world, you find that the characters have become your friends, family and loved ones.
It breaks my heart and takes me days to recover when an author decides to end a character's life. I know it's no easy task for them but still... it hurts like hell and slowly you start to move on. But some deaths out there I don't think I'll ever be over.
Now that was my very first fictional-heartbreak/shock/trauma/ ... overall devastation and pain !
As a 14 years old I couldn't even comprehend what just happened reading the chapter where it happened. Ever since Prisoner of Azkaban, I grew to love Sirius Black more and more until he became my absolute favorite. I loved the idea of him being Harry's parent, I loved the version of him with James that we didn't even get to see, but I loved him. And to have him just killed off like that, out of nowhere and for no apparent - at least to me - reason; it killed me. I remember crying for days, and even in my sleep. I still get tears in my eyes whenever I watch the scene or even look at the book. And to be totally honest, it's been years, but I've never re-read that chapter like ever.
It's too damn hard to go over again.
Fred Weasly !
Dooby !Hedwig !
I do realize the fact that this book just ruined us all and is still difficult to go into until this day. But these three deaths ruined me the most, I was like: Rowling, did you REALLY need to go ahead and do that?!!. I remember rereading the scenes, hoping that I might have misread something or that there was a part that i dropped where they survive... anything.
But nope ! Heartbreak, red-puffy eyes it is.
Now that one was plane evil. What made it worse is the fact that I didn't even realize what the hell happened until four chapters later. I reached a part where I asked myself where the hell is Finnick and suddenly they're talking that he's dead and I was like : W.H.A.T. !? When did that happen ? I went back and reread it and was a mess afterwards.
I hate it the most when authors kill their characters in the not most respectable way they deserve and that one was the worst.
Max Lightwood !
Ok Clare i do understand why you had to go ahead and do that but WHY ! Like, why the innocent little kid who didn't even hurt a fly. Oh I know why, so you'd just rip our heart out more and more.
Jonathan Morgenstern !
Though we got only two glimpses of the real Jonathan and not the one twisted by Valentine's experiments but man i mourned him. I cried - sobbed is more accurate tho - for the boy who never even got a chance at life.
Hodor !
Yes, I do realize this is from the show, i really don't know what happens in the books - still haven't read them ; shame i know. But holy crap, this episode hurt like hell.
Hodor is not even a character I thought to be important in the entire show, I didn't care much for him. But in this episode, with the whole scene and the damn music, I cried like a baby for hours. And now whenever I stumble on the soundtrack or even think about it i start crying all over again.
Ok.
That one i'm holding a grudge for not because I cared for dear Tris or something. But her death was so pointless that it made me SO angry and frustrated. I thought it was not necessary to turn her into a martyr and in the most stupid way possible at that.
For me it ruined the entire series for, even tho I did enjoy reading the first two books.
These are the deaths that have stayed with me for quite a while and will continue to do so. And i'm positive that there are so many books out there just waiting to ruin me more.
Now tell me down below in the comments; which fictional death stayed with you the most?
