But he has taken it all as a man and continues to be one of the most flamboyant characters in the series. He has been thrown in dungeons, thoroughly humiliated, mentally scarred, cut in half, and almost always misunderstood.
It took some time, but he got over it and fell in love again only to have it again taken from him. But Tyrion was made of tougher substance. This would have driven most men to insanity. When his father found out he had married Tysha, he had her raped by his guardsmen and finally by Tyrion himself to teach them a lesson. He has been called an “Imp” or “Half man” all of his life. I can’t even imagine how it would feel to see your siblings live the life you deserve, but instead you are condemned to your father’s hatred. Tolerance beyond comprehension: He has faced torture unknown to normal men and he was of noble blood. He seems to have the ability to get himself out of any insanely challenging situation he is put in, even if it is an impossible battle to win, like getting out of the sky cells of Eyrie. This has made him one tough nut to crack. His father holds him responsible for his mother’s death, and his sister greeted him with abuse instead of compassion. Overcome any adversity: He had a very troubled childhood and clearly has suffered ridicule and humiliation from every corner, even his own father.
