naaaaaaaaaaaaaah the show fukked her over... NONE of it made sense
He'd been warning her the entire time.. telling her to leave. after blackwater and after the marriage, she even told him to run away.. they'll live a normal live together and fukk the money... HE was the one to say no and keep saying no. Varys offered her big bread... Nope she ain't going. Bron was supposed to ship her off. Who knows if she even listened to that or was just caught....
But they clearly showed she loved him and it wasn't about money... you got that right............
until that speech.. how dumb would you have to believe, to believe that shyt? You AND him been talking about leaving for what? A year? More? nikka said he'd buy you a house and give you servants and only be married in name...... And suddenly he's acting crazy and saying it was all a lie and he loves her... when you and him know you ain't even fukked her out of respect of Shae..
Not only do you believe that one thing... But then his man comes to save you and take you away while he's facing death.... and you still believe he thinks you're just a whore. Pops gives a story to condemn him to death and you ride wit that... AND fukk pops... AND call him the same pet name (my lion)
Shae was so smart and so in love... that one speech made her want to kill this man and fukk her pops? Without a single thought that he might have said it to drive you away? You can always tell when the show runners take over vs the OG writing. It's always hollywood bullshyt that don't match up
I was cynical about Shae on the first watch, on the second watch I see its more nuanced than that. IN THE SHOW ONLY THOUGH (wanna repeat that because in the book Shae was about the money only).
Gotta look at it from Shae's POV.
1) don't assume she was smart enough to know Tyrion didn't mean what he said. he pressed on all her insecurities.
2) she's insecure about being a whore, and probably thought in the back of her head that Tyrion would never marry her.
3) she was sold into a whorehouse as a kid so off rip she's distrustful, jaded and expects the worse of people.
4) she considered Sansa a little sister but, knew she was the proper girl that guys married...she was jealous Tyrion wanted her (they put a couple scenes in there to foreshadow that).
5) the last thing a girl from a background like Shae wants, after being saved by a guy like Tyrion, is to go back to their old life.
6) she did turn down the money, which was probably a BAG. if someone offered Ros a bag of gold to leave the nikkas she was fukking in the North she would've been on the first ship smoking.
7) she took revenge on Tyrion in the WORST WAY possible and reminded him he called her a whore in the courtroom rather than getting whatever money she could get and leaving, showing her feelings were hurt.
based on the kinda person she was, her background and her insecurities about it, i could easily buy her believing Tyrion wanted Sansa and that he didn't think she was marriageable, getting her feelings hurt in the process and becoming a scorned woman. i believe they put that in the show rather than flashback the Tysha storyline, to show Tyrion had a girl that loved him and alot of misunderstandings messed things up.
