5. Tyrion Gives Jon Snow Some Advice
HBOThe scene starts with Tyrion being his usual blunt self when he openly offends Ned Starks bastard Jon Snow by calling him just that, a bastard. You then are shown a different side to Tyrion, a wiser, more sincere and perhaps more genuine side. On seeing Snows hurt on being shamed, yet again, by the title, Tyrion offers some words of wisdom: Let me give you some advice, bastard. Never forget what you are, the rest of the world will not; wear it like armour and it can never be used to hurt you. It is also then that the audience realise how Tyrion copes with the incessant mocking from the people of Westeros; youre overcome with a sense of pity, yet respect.
