Smoother Than a Storm Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I was wondering if anyone can point me to source material in any of the books that mirrors, supports, or could be a basis for this quote from Tywin: Tywin Lannister: The day that you were born. I wanted to carry you into the sea and let the waves wash you away. Instead, I let you live. And I brought you as my son. Because you're a Lannister. Is there a part in the books when Tywin says anything similar to this or discusses his urge to commit infanticide (through abandonment, neglect, or otherwise)?

King Tyrion I Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I don't remember a scene like this in the books. But I do think it's a powerful scene between these two. And a nice juxtaposition - because in a way it mirrors the one in "Valar Morghulis". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldivore Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I don't remember a quote either. They probably added this part, great addition to the story though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other prince Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I think this is an incredible scene for the two of them. It really shows the complicated dynamics between the two characters. Since the show can't really show what a character is thinking lines like this help to define complex relationships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
