Would Joanna Lannister’s death during childbirth somehow contributed to the extreme aversion to Tyrion as well?
Since Westeros appears to be set in an AU version of the Middle Ages, the mortality rate of women in the course of labor must have been high, and perhaps not all children are blamed for their mother’s death. But perhaps Tyrion’s disfigurement somehow affected people’s view of what happened, from being an accepted or known risk of birthing to an active deed of the “monster” she gave birth, too.
Being associated with the Lannisters, and probably being aware of Tywin’s view of his “son” might’ve influenced Sandor’s own views, which gains a whole new dimension if you consider that Sandor had also lost his mother at a young age. He might’ve grown to hate the Lannisters, but it doesn’t mean he was immune to their influence.
This is an excellent observation, Craierahl. Truthfully I never even considered this possibility but it makes sense that Sandor might view that both he and Jaime and Cersei lost their mothers to a "monster" sibling...very intriguing!
