Why did Lady Olenna kill Joffrey?

Olenna Tyrell killed Joffrey because he was a sadistic, unstable tyrant who was a threat to her granddaughter, Margaery, and her family's power; she orchestrated the murder to free Margaery from his abuse and position her for a more advantageous marriage to the more malleable Tommen, while also undermining the Lannisters. She confessed to Jaime Lannister, wanting to assert the Tyrells' strength and ensure Margaery's safety as queen, using Littlefinger's plan to provide the poison via Sansa's hairnet.

Who is more evil, Cersei or Ramsay?

Most fans distinguish Ramsay's pure sadism, enjoying random torture and cruelty for its own sake, from Cersei's more calculated, power-driven evil, which, while immense, often serves her political aims, leading many to label Ramsay Bolton as more purely evil due to his lack of remorse and inherent enjoyment of suffering, though Cersei's larger-scale destruction (like the Sept) is arguably more impactful, with some finding her strategic evil worse as it's a conscious choice.

Did Joffrey know who his real dad was?

Joffrey Baratheon never definitively found out that Jaime Lannister was his biological father; he publicly maintained he was Robert Baratheon's son, but he likely harbored suspicion, which fueled his cruelty, especially in ordering the deaths of Robert's trueborn bastards to protect his throne, though the books suggest he remained largely in denial, while the show hints at more awareness through his confrontations with his mother and his own cruel actions.

Why did Joffrey start hating Sansa?

Joffrey hated Sansa primarily because she witnessed his weakness and vulnerability (especially when Arya's direwolf Nymeria bit him), representing his shame and a perceived power imbalance, combined with his inherent sadistic nature and resentment for her Stark identity, making her an easy target for his cruelty and a symbol of his enemies, the Starks. He enjoyed tormenting her as a helpless prisoner, especially after her father's death removed her protection.

Who is technically the rightful heir to the Iron Throne?

The "rightful heir" to the Iron Throne in Game of Thrones is contested, but by traditional Westerosi law (male primogeniture) and confirmed parentage, Jon Snow (Aegon Targaryen) is the legitimate male heir, being the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark, making him the true heir over his aunt Daenerys Targaryen, though Daenerys held a strong claim as the last known Targaryen. Other claims existed through Robert Baratheon's line (like Gendry) or through conquest, but Jon's secret Targaryen lineage made him the ultimate contender, even if he didn't want the throne.

Why did Littlefinger betray Ned Stark?

Littlefinger betrayed Ned Stark for personal revenge, power, and self-preservation, driven by his obsession with Catelyn Stark and a desire to create chaos where he could rise, as Ned's honorable, unmanipulable nature and plan to expose Joffrey's illegitimacy threatened Littlefinger's schemes and position.
