For Tyrion, I believe it is part of his genius. He keeps his true thoughts to himself and uses sarcasm as a way to get people to underestimate him. He guards his words as to not give away his intentions which allows him to remain one step up on whoever he is dealing with.

Jamie on the other hand is a tragic hero whose only crime is being a freak who is in love with his sister. I honestly think he is as good hearted as they come. The man saved everyone in King's Landing's life and in the process became a pariah. I think this is why he hides his true thoughts. He wants to do the right thing and wishes that he and his sister, before Feast anyway, could be accepted. But despite doing what he knows is the right thing as far as Aery's is concerned, everyone hates him. All of his evil acts have come as a result of his love for his sister , and the fact that he is finally starting to believe everyone that have been calling him shite for years. Personally, by the end of the novels I believe he will be one of the most honorable knights in Westeros.

I get frustrated with the characters sometimes when thier pride gets in the way of progress.

But I really think that this is part of the genius that is GRRM. Most, if not all, of his characters are critically flawed. And this precisely what makes them so interesting.

I thought this treatment of Ser Ilyn was really interesting and kind of proved he is a thoughtful, good guy. Same thing with Pia and the squire.

He already is honestly....


I mean yea, he pushed Bran out of a window but can you comfortably without any doubt say that you wouldn't push ANYONE out of a window to protect the person you love the most in life and the only person who loves you?

"The things I do for love"

He knows his actions are wrong yet he is willing to take that burden upon himself for the sake of his family and his love.

Sure we say its odd that hes fricking his sister, yet even us as fans of the story find no fault in Aegon marrying TWO of his sisters and all of the other incestuous relationships of the Targs.

While Jaime did forsake the vows of the Kingsguard he held true to the first vow he ever took. The Knight's vow. He protected the weak at the cost of his honor.

He is truly selfless and gallant... A TRUE knight.
