Tyrion’s infatuation with Shae reminds me much of how men today feel about younger women. He loves that she is innocent, naive and obedient. Shae has a certain self respect but her position locks her into accepting predatory behavior. Such parts of GoT as a whole make it difficult for me to read at times. I can’t decide if such depictions of objectification and violence against women is necessary to the story.
