'Game of Thrones': Yes, You Should've Felt Bad for Cersei During This Scene
Game of Thrones excelled at creating complex and despicable characters. It's hard to beat the likes of Joffrey or Ramsay Snow in terms of pure terribleness, but neither of them was around for too long. Meanwhile, Cersei Lannister lasted the entirety of the show. Though perhaps less effective than others, Cersei was just as irredeemable. If her incestuous affair isn't bad enough, look at how she treated Tyrion .
As atonement for her adultery, Cersei is forced on a walk of atonement through the streets of King's Landing. Her head is shaved for her naked walk across the city, accompanied by Septa Unella following her with a bell and chanting "shame." Cersei endure the jeering and insults from the crowd of citizens lined up to see her. They throw things at her naked body along with their insults as she walks until she finally reaches the Red Keep.
Yet that's not to say her actions are excused. Cersei does many terrible things that leave the audience wanting her to face consequences. From the very beginning, she watches, without remorse, as Jamie tries to kill Bran for catching them, inciting the entire story. Ultimately, Cersei is to blame for Joffrey, as she never taught him to behave better. She arranges Robert's death, wipes out the Tyrell line in destroying the Great Sept of Baelor, and leaves destruction in her wake.
