Many of the other female characters don't have the (comparative) power Cersei does, nor were they raised by psychopaths themselves. Being raised by Tywin + being sold into marriage to someone she hates + political influence, however limited = crazy lady with the power to take her rage out on people less powerful. Cersei didn't sprout out of the ground the way she is any more than any of the other characters did.

She drowned a friend in the well long before that happened.

[(Anonymous)]

She drowned a friend before being raised by Tywin?

[(Anonymous)]

What did Tywin do when she was little?

[diet_poison]

Be himself?

I don't know much about the details here, but living with/being raised by someone like Tywin would do things to you, I imagine.

[(Anonymous)]

Then how come Tyrion despite getting it worse wasn't drowning kids when he was little?

[diet_poison]

Well, that is a fair point.

I don't have much to say to that because I'm not terribly familiar with Tywin and his interactions with all of his kids.

[arcadiaego]

She didn't randomly drown her - it's not *ok* but there were very specific reasons behind it, including the fact that the prophecy, which Cercei is terrified of (given it says her little brother will kill her and he has already, in her eyes, caused the death of her mother) said the girl was going to die that night. It's a false comparison to say 'but what about Tyrion'. But if Tyrion had been in the same situation he a) wouldn't have got away with it b) wouldn't have ever thought he would, so wouldn't have considered it c) wanted everyone to like him because his father was an abusive dickhead d) probably not believed the prophecy anyway.

book cersei =/= show cersei. book cersei is more evil queen bitch of evilness, while show-cersei's psychological profile is far more consistant and lifelike

[philstar22]

Not to mention being physically abused by Robert and likely Tywin as well (certainly emotional).

None of that at all justifies what she has done. But they are all part of the reasons for who she is, and saying so is not justifying her actions. It is exploring who she is and some of the reasons for that.
