8. That Was A Threat - See The Difference?
HBOAfter preventing Joffrey from humiliating and killing Sansa Stark in front of the Kingsguard, Tyrion approaches his vicious nephew: Has your Uncle Jamie ever told you what happened to him? To which Ser Meryn interjects: No one threatens Your Grace in the presence of the Kingsguard. Tyrions quick wit provokes a response of: Im not threatening the King, Ser. I am educating my nephew. Bronn, the next time Ser Meryn speaks, kill him. That was a threat - see the difference? Tyrions lack of respect for his family, their rule and the people that protect the city is plain to see and, yet again, he echoes the thoughts and feelings of the audience. Furthermore, his quest for justice and mercy isnt prevented by his small stature as he nonchalantly disregards the Kingsguard and Joffrey, himself.
