“Another lesson you should learn, if you hope to sit beside my son. Be gentle on a night like this and you’ll have treasons popping up all about you like mushrooms after a hard rain. The only way to keep your people loyal is to make certain they fear you more than they do the enemy.”

The show has made me realize something that wasn’t clear in the books. The Lannisters (save Tyrion and Myrcella/Tommen) HATE Sansa and torture/beat her physically and mentally not because she’s a Stark (though that’s an excuse) but because they know, deep down, that she is a BETTER person than they are and it gnaws at them (particularly Joffrey and Cersei) and that’s why they MUST destroy her.
