Frances Bean Corbray Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 When she noticed her dresses were too snug and jumped to the (hilarious) conclusion that her seamstresses were deliberately shrinking the dresses by removing stitching from them (instead of, you know, Cersei getting a beer gut from her Robert-esque drinking problem), she decides their punishment will be to dock their pay. While this is still an instance of punishing the innocent, this is far more lenience than we usually see from Cersei and it's a bit of relief to see their are some crimes and slights that even she recognizes do not warrant the most heavy handed reprisal imaginable. At other points in this book, even in that chapter, she condemns people to Qyburn's clutches. Those seamstresses really did get off light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winnief Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I'm pretty sure she wanted to have them whipped, but Taena convinced her to only take it out of their pay. That's exactly how it happened. First time, I actually found myself sorta liking Taena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florina Laufeyson Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Knocked down, but she has enough hate to breathe. She's got at least one more heinous outrage left to commit, I think. And it's gonna be glorious, except I'll surely hate it (please please please don't let it end in Marge being beheaded) Marg must live! She's defiant more than perseverant. Defiance is one way to persevere. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pod The Impaler Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Cersei seems to really only possess one noble virtue. That is perseverance. She will continue to seek to preserve what she has set out to do. Even after her Walk, she still perseveres. She gives the illusion that its broken her, and it certainly has chipped something away from her, but its not gonna stop her. Kevan thinks she is "declawed", but he is very far from the truth.... Yeah. And she's a pretty accurate shot when it comes to throwing wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sansa_Stark Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Taena did not seem to convince her to detract the pay She just told her to be more merciful to the smallfolk. For all we know, it wasn't a kindness. Remember, these are a Queen's gowns. I have a hard time believing she just deducted a small amount of pay from their wages. She thinks of a new gown she got and how it had some "costly Myrish laces" or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, even whipping them is Kindler, Gentler Cersei. Amazingly enough. (Remember: this is the book where she hands people over to Qyburn) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Remember: this is the book where she hands people over to Qyburn) So we're giving Cersei credit for deducting pay from her underlyings as opposed to having them flogged?

I may have interpreted that wrong Well the Lannister's have managed to define deviancy and meanness down quite a bit. At this point, anyone dealing with Cersei has to count themselves lucky if they're not being sent to Qyborn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
