Compared to the things most negative characters do it's pretty tame, and I read it as Tyrion just snapping- after all, he (admittedly foolishly) believed Shae loved him and tried to protect her, but then she humiliated him while helping dig his grave. At that point he was unappreciated, alone and unloved and wrongly believed by everyone to have killed Joffrey, despite having saved the Lannisters from Stannis.<br />I do agree aout Daenerys though. I think her discomfort with rape is believable on the grounds of natural human empathy, but the whole free-the-slaves schtick is harder to accept.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08654770225487196179noreply@blogger.com
