Yes he hated him but not just for being a dwarf. I genuinely think he could have got over that. What must annoyed him I feel was he was a rebel, never wanted to do what his father said. He partied hard and enjoyed women and attention. He was known throughout the kingdoms as the half man but also as a drunk and whore lover. Which I'm sure for a man like tywin was much worse to hear than jokes about his dwarfism. Tywin could ignore jokes about his twins incest, but the drunk and whore lover with the sharp tongue most upset him. Tywin was a bad father but tyrion loved being a problem too

[@naimhussain6013]

I love how Tywin mentions his father (Tytos Lannister), then immediately mentions his father's father (Gerold Lannister). Tytos was hated by Tywin. Tytos used to "waddle about" being laughed at by the members of other houses, as Tytos threw his money around, spending it on wine and prostitutes, and Tywin mentions with Arya in S2 that Tytos "nearly destroyed our house and name." The exact same things that Tywin is accusing Tyrion of doing. He sees Tyrion as his Tytos, but in a body more suited to his behaviour in life. Tytos' father, Gerold Lannister, known as Gerold the Golden was, on the other hand, known to be exceptionally smart, quick-witted, and a very capable lord who massively increased the wealth of House Lannister. A man who was greatly respected by Tywin. Kind of funny how he immediately mentions "his father before him" after mentioning Tytos.

While I think deep down, he has a grudging respect for Tyrion, it's too covered in his disappointment that it was Tyrion the dwarf that was most like him instead of Jaime or even Cersei, disappointment and embarrassment in his whoring and drinking, (which is probably some projecting and generational shame as we clearly see later that Tywin is not so above whoring as he claims and acts,) and grief turned hate for his wife to truly ever be considered love. I think Tywin is certainly capable of loving his family, as we see with him and Tommund, but there's just too much covering any possible love he may have for Tyrion to be even considered that anymore imo

[@rdcarbonk1885]

Tywin didint like Tyrion. He was too obsessed with the image of house lannister. But desperate times gave in to desperate measures. He was ready to use Tyrion as long as it was necessary for the survival of the house. Once the future of the house was more or less secure, he didnt mind getting rid of him as long as the house itself was not hurt.

[@darthimperious1594]

Tirions performance as Hand of the King did impress Tywin, at least somewhat. The problem was that due to Tirion's deformity, Tywin raised his expectations nearly to the ceiling. Tirion did cut back on whoring, limiting himself to a single courtesan, and he did cut down on drinking, and he rose to the challenge of being Hand of the King. However, Twyin probably was expecting little to no drinking, no whoring at all, and sole consumption of Tirion's time with his duties, as Tywin often is. An unrealistic expectation, honestly. Still, I'm not sure Tirion ever could have been "good enough" for Tywin.

[@solitarysurreal3652]

Something I love about this series is just listening to the ambience of the scenes. The wine being poured into the cups, the faint animal sounds in the background, the scratching of Tywin's pen as he writes, footsteps in the stone corridors...in this world of unpleasantness, there's something so...calming about it all :)

Tyrion really wanted his father to love him and be proud of him and treat him with respect. That's what he's really asking for in this scene, he literally proved himself in battle, as a family Tyrion and Tywin won the Battle of Blackwater together. Yet Tywin is as hateful and condescending as ever. Had Tywin been able to love and respect Tyrion their house name would have lived on like he so desperately wanted.

As a fun fact that might reinforce this scene. Tywin had a favorite sister, one of the few people that could make him smile after his wife died and she was also Tyrion's favorite aunt. However when she once remarked to Tywin how similar Tyrion was to him in how capable and smart he was, Tywin became so angry that he didn't spoke to her in years after that. I think this scene really captures their relationship perfectly. Also an interesting contrast that both Tywin and Tyrion had the same favorite sister/aunt showing how similar they were which was reinforced by Shae lying on Tyiwin's bed in the end. PS: I think this aunt is mentioned in the show as the "fat Lannister", the mother of the Lannister that shared a cell with Jaime.

Not too much in common of course, as Tyrion's favorite uncle was Gerion, who Tywin resented for his jovial nature and kindness to Tyrion. I don't recall if the book ever discusses Tywin's feelings regarding the man after his death though. Maybe he respected him somewhat for his desire to see Brightroar reclaimed, or maybe he thought him just a suicidal fool, prancing in the mists of doomed Valyria for a lost sword and a petty token of honor.

Tyrion's is the only opinion other than his own that he gives any consideration to when it comes to matters of leadership.

@@ben1ben2ben1 That point has been made a couple of times. The Tywin/Jaime scene in season one where Tywin urges Jaime to be "the man he is meant to be", all while dressing a fucking deer is non canonical in the books. So is the Arya/Tywin conversations in Harrenhall and most of Arya/The Hound's relationship in season 4 (which I consider to be best in the show tbh). It's not because they ran out of books. It's because they ran out of writing.

@@Krisliet Just because the show writers could add a non book scene here and there that was great doesn't mean they can write basically a whole story. GRRM has a VERY distinct way of writing that is very difficult to replicate. The story is very tough as well. GRRM himself is struggling to figure out how to tie things together. And all the scenes you mentioned were when GRRM was working with the show as a consultant. He left in season 5 to go work on the books (that hasn't gone so well lol). The scenes they added that were great they got help from George. They didn't have that season 5-8 and it showed in the massive drop in quality

In the books Tywin's contempt for Tyrion makes a bit more sense as Tyrion is a far less heroic figure. He's more like Tywin with an even greater perchant for manipulating his own family. In the books Tywin's words about Tyrion being a "spiteful creature" make more sense as Tyrion is a more dastardky schemer who takes the fate of his family into his own gambles and Tywin - whome family and reputation are everything - is absolutely appalled by this.

except there is no need for his hatred on screen. this tyrion is not the tyrion in the book. so there is no understanding why he treats tyrion the way he does expect for shame and really not knowing if tyrion is his son. there were no DNA test back then.

Tyrion rose on unsteady legs, closed his eyes for an instant as a wave of dizziness washed over him, and took a shaky step toward the door. Later, he would reflect that he should have taken a second, and then a third. Instead he turned. “What do I want, you ask? I’ll tell you what I want. I want what is mine by rights. I want Casterly Rock.” His father’s mouth grew hard. “Your brother’s birthright?” "The knights of the Kingsguard are forbidden to marry, to father children, and to hold land, you know that as well as I. The day Jaime put on that white cloak, he gave up his claim to Casterly Rock, but never once have you acknowledged it. It’s past time. I want you to stand up before the realm and proclaim that I am your son and your lawful heir.” Lord Tywin’s eyes were a pale green flecked with gold, as luminous as they were merciless. “Casterly Rock,”he declared in a flat cold dead tone. And then, “Never.” The word hung between them, huge, sharp, poisoned. I knew the answer before I asked, Tyrion said. Eighteen years since Jaime joined the Kingsguard, and I never once raised the issue. I must have known. I must always have known. “Why?” he made himself ask, though he knew he would rue the question. “You ask that? You, who killed your mother to come into the world? You are an ill-made, devious, disobedient, spiteful little creature full of envy, lust, and low cunning. Men’s laws give you the right to bear my name and display my colors, since I cannot prove that you are not mine. To teach me humility, the gods have condemned me to watch you waddle about wearing that proud lion that was my father’s sigil and his father’s before him. But neither gods nor men shall ever compel me to let you turn Casterly Rock into your whorehouse.” -Tyrion A Storm of Swords

Tywin has generally been a character I couldn’t come to hate due to his extreme intelligence and presence but this scene is an exception. Tyrion’s been looked down upon by the whole world, including his father and sister, for being a dwarf and ‘killing’ his mother, something he can’t control. This unfortunately happens in real life too, so many awful parents are biased against certain children for qualities and characteristics they can do nothing about

I think thats you projectinf on Tywin. All Tywin sees is a disgusting little imp that he feels compelled but not honored to attach himself to.

"You who killed your mother coming into the world." Never having read the books, I got so much out of that one line. Like the fact that, holy shit, Tywin actually loved his wife. A little research and lo and behold, he most certainly did. Oh how I wish we could have a prequel series with Tywin as the main lead.

[@codysellers4151]

Yup. Tywin was actually a semi-decent man at one point. His wife dying killed his heart. Had she remained alive, he may have had something of a heart in his later years, and I imagine he would have treated Tyrion far better Tywin knows Tyrion is the only one of his children who actually lives up to his “standards”. Jaime has no interest in taking Tywin’s place, and as he told Cersi in person, “I don’t distrust you because you are a woman, i distrust you because you are not as smart as you think you are”. Tyrion is the only one who could effectively take his place, but Tywin could not put aside his hatred to make it happen.

GoT doesn’t have a main character (when it was good), so if the prequel series this would be did exist it wouldn’t either. I know we have the House of Dragons coming out, and it looks… promising.

[@yidingliu8663]

@@erickwenner6578 Not really, the book version was far darker than just a man in grief for his wife. Genna said Tywin only smiled at his wedding, the day Aerys made him hand, the twins' birth, and THE DAY HE CRUSHED TARBECK HALL WITH TREBUCHET. We cannot know if it was Joanna's death was THE turning point of Tywin. His father led the house to ruin, married his little sis to a minor son of the crossing and allowed his mistress to parade his mother's jewry. His best friend the King made moves against his wife, grew mad and left the Kingdom for him to care, took the tongue of his captain of arms then his son and heir.

​@@JamesJNothingIsTooSensitiveyes this! Most honor-bound societies expect people to act in a high brow way publicly, regardless of their actions behind closed doors. Tyrion, by contrast, openly enjoyed "playing the court jester," whether that be publicly dating prostitutes, pointlessly antagonizing and challenging the king, having scoundrels like Bronn at court, etc. Tyrion, by medieval standards (and by most public political standards), would rightly be seen as a personal and family embarrassment.
