Tywin brought his humiliating death upon himself. He loved his house but not his children and they became miserable dysfunctional adults.

He treated Cersei liked a brew mare and didn't care that Robert cheats on her, rapes and abuses her and humiliates her by having bastards with other women. Not only that, he never bothered to truly teach Cersei about politics, using her cunning more than he beauty, he saw her as trinket and because of not raising her properly she truly is wildfire, she is a destructive version of her father. And when she told him that she and Jaime were in fact a couple and Joffery, Myrcella and Tommen were Jaime's, his golden son, children that struck him hard and he realized that in his quest to preserve the Lannister name and legacy, he destroyed his whole family and Tommen nor Joffery were kings like he hoped and his daughter was a false queen and his son betrayed his father in the worst possible way because they loathed him. His legacy is a lie and it was how own fault.

And Tyrion killing him was poetic and he deserved that honor because Tywin blamed him for things that were not his fault and that he never asked for, Joanna dying in childbirth and being a dwarf. Tywin made his life hell for those reasons and when he sentenced him to death for a crime he knew he didn't commit,that was the straw that broke the camels back.

To me the person who kept the family together and truly protected them and loved them was Joanna.

Tywin being killed was one of my favorite moments in the entire series. He cared more about the legacy of his family than the family itself, and loved his precious legacy more than he ever loved any of his children. He disowned Jaime when all Jaime wanted to do was try to be a knight of the Kingsguard again, and  belittled and humiliated Tyrion all his life, scarring his other son forever with the lie he concocted about Tysha. He was responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent people, first in the Sack of King's Landing, and then in the War of Five Kings when he set that psychopath Gregor Clegane loose on the smallfolk. He was a bitter, arrogant many who never gave a second thought to the misery his precious family caused. I hated Tywin Lannister more than any other character in the entire series so far: more than Roose Bolton or Walder Frey, more than Ramsay Snow or Janos Slynt, more even than Cersei and Joffrey.

I loved this scene. I realize that for Tyrion, killing Tywinn, even after all he had done, was still a hard thing. He still has nightmares about it in Book 5. Yet in the end all the spite and bile his father served him was enough to drive him over the edge. I don't pity Tywinn, and I cheer Tyrion's decision...but still, to kill the only parent you've ever know is quite probably a very hard thing to do, even if he's treated you like shit.

Before reading the third book of Game of Thrones, my friend has spoiled to me that everyone dies.
And yet I was surprised, as I had no idea that by everyone, he meant literally EVERYONE.

I still think that Tyrion wouldn't be the person to lie to Jaime about killing Joffrey just to have his little vengeance, given he was always driven more by wisdom than his heart...but maybe that's just my wish for the last of my favourites who hasn't died yet.
Besides, it is truth he always used to act foolish 'cause of women...
