Psychoanalysis: The Lannister Pride

[Shacklock]

I've been wondering... who is Shae?

Mayhaps Shae was Tysha's younger sister or cousin. We know that certain families are fond of certain forms for their names. The Lannisters like TY- as in TYwin, TYgett, TYrion, TYrek... The Greyjoys like -ON, as in BalON, EurON, VictariON, AerON, TheOn, MarON. The Cleganes like -OR as in GregOR and SandOR. The Targaryens like the AE, but they also like -ERYS as in Jaehaerys, Aerys, Daenerys, Viserys. The Redwynes like HO- as in HOras and HObber. The Tyrells like -AS as in LorAS and WillAS. The Freys prefer WALDER as in WALDER, WALDER, WALDER, WALDER, WALDER, WALDER, WALDER, and WALDER. Anyway the point is that mayhaps Tysha's family named another girl Nysha, Mysha, Tasha, or Tosha... mayhaps to tell the second girl from the first they mispronounce the ending, thus changing the girl's name from something like Tasha to Tashae... Shae

Also, why did Shae leave her family? Her father turned her into his sex toy, right? Okay, we all admit that is wrong, sick, and criminal. But what if Shae's father knew she was not his child? That still does not make his advances right, but maybe slighltly more comprehensible.

We do know that Aerys was sadistic, psychotic, neurotic, and paranoid. We also know that he was unopposed in his wishes after Tywin resigned. He raped his own wife. Raping his own wife is hardly the start of it... how many other women did he have? Shae is around eighteen when she meets Tyrion. She'd have been a toddler when Jaime killed Aerys. What if Aerys fathered a ******* upon a woman and the woman tried to give the baby a Targaryen sounding name? The Targaryen sound is the AE. Shae.

Either way, if Shae was a relative of Tysha or Aerys, it gets Tyrion up to Jaime's, Cersei's, and the Targaryen's levels of incest. And if Aerys+Joanna=Tyrion, then this eases him into his upcoming marriage to Dany, his sister.

Why did Shae end up in Tywin's bed? If Tywin found out that Shae was Aerys' *******, he might enjoy getting revenge upon Aerys. Or mayhaps just the fact that her name sounded Targaryenish was enough to stimulate Tywin.

The Lannisters are so screwed up... I can't turn away.

Ok, dude, now my head hurts xD You people seem to love your far-fecthed theories

Or, she could just be a hooker. Now, she's a dead hooker! I absolutely love that chapter in the book. Tyrion may be despicable at most times, although quite witty and not entirely unlikeable, but it's always nice to see a character enact revenge/justice against those that really deserve it.
