He is most offended not because he thinks he deserves a medal for not being a rapist but because Sansa rejects out of hand any notion that she would ever love him or accept him willingly, something which really hits a nerve.

He trusts Bronn and Shae despite the fact that he *knows* they're only friendly with him because he pays them to be. Tyrion's a character who goes from grey to black morality over the course of the series, and I would argue that he wouldn't really feel guilt about what he's done anymore since he's too busy wallowing in self-pity and self-loathing now.īut pre-Tywin, Tyrion's problem is that he *should* know better but he doesn't.
