When considering how differently Tyrion’s future after killing Tywin was in the books compared to Game of Thrones, it seems the series wanted to maintain a certain level of justice for Tyrion himself that would better send him into an allyship with Daenerys Targaryen.

In Game of Thrones, Jaime never reveals the truth about Tysha, so Tyrion’s fury with Tywin after Jaime helps him escape is simply about his own relationship with Tywin.Īt SDCC 2014, showrunners Benioff and Weiss revealed that they omitted Tysha in Tyrion’s reason for killing Tywin because there wasn’t enough time to fit in every book subplot, but this feels like a fairly weak excuse. Another major detail that Game of Thrones omits in Tysha’s backstory is that Tywin forced Tyrion to rape Tysha last after every guard had already done so, with Tywin paying her gold because he’s a Lannister. Game of Thrones' conniving Tywin had forced Jaime to tell Tyrion that Tysha was a “ whore” and everything was a charade, hoping Tyrion would never return to her. Jaime explains that Tysha was never actually a prostitute, she was just a common girl who genuinely did love Tyrion when he married her - the entire event in which they found her fighting off would-be assaulters was true. While Tyrion believed this story about Tysha actually being a prostitute for most of his life, Jaime finally confesses the truth about her when he visits Tyrion in the dungeons after he was sentenced to death. This is where Game of Thrones diverts significantly from GRRM’s books. Related: Game Of Thrones’ Houses Represent The Seven Deadly Sins - Theory Explained

Jaime claimed not to know that Tyrion would marry her or what Tywin would do in response, but his marriage would soon be annulled with the assault being the last time Tyrion saw her. Tyrion explains in Game of Thrones season 1 that Jaime eventually told him Tysha was actually a prostitute, so he organized the entire charade of the attackers so that Tyrion would finally lose his virginity. Angry that Tyrion would marry a commoner, Tywin cruelly ordered the Lannister guards to gang-rape Tysha as Tyrion watched, with Tywin paying her silver for each man. Tyrion and Tysha were only husband and wife for two weeks before Tywin discovered their marriage. Jaime fended off Tysha’s attackers, whereafter Tyrion helped Tysha recover and they soon married. In both the books and Game of Thrones’ show, Tyrion meets Tysha as a teenager, finding her on the road as she escapes an attempted rape. Lannisters keep their word, so there was no way Tyrion was going to let Tywin live after he had already promised that word would signal his death. It was inevitable that Tyrion would pull the trigger on the crossbow in Game of Thrones, but it wasn’t until Tywin called Shae a “ whore” again after Tyrion repeatedly told him not to that he killed him. Paired with the fact that Tywin was sleeping with Shae, who Tyrion loved and Tywin threatened to banish, the extent of Tywin’s cruelty was realized in his son’s eyes.

Once Tyrion discovered that Tywin was prepared to execute him for killing Joffrey, which Tywin knew that he didn’t do, Tyrion realized that he truly never loved him. Tyrion was treated horribly by everyone in the historic House Lannister aside from Jaime, but still had a tiny sliver of hope that Tywin harbored some genuine love for him as his father. Throughout his entire life, Tywin had treated Tyrion like a “ bastard” due to his dwarfism and the wrongful assertion that he killed his mother, who had died giving birth to him. The reason why Tyrion decided to kill Tywin in Game of Thrones was an act of revenge for himself. While the idea of Tyrion killing Tywin wasn’t surprising, the actual act of him pulling the trigger was a major twist at the end of Game of Thrones season 4.
