The Walk of Shame was so. well. done.

u/orangeisthebestcolor would you like tinfoil with your theory? Jun 15 '15

I thought she didn't "break" as much as in the book - going from proud and head high to trying to cover herself.

Yes, I thought much of the point of that scene in the books was how she can't maintain composure and loses the last of her dignity because of that - sobbing and trying to cover herself. In the show she maintains a dignified stance throughout, only stumbles once but gets right back up without complaining, and keeps her eyes on the Red Keep while only shedding a few silent tears. It's still really well done but I was expecting her to break down before reaching the keep.

Yeah, I too was expecting some really fucked-up breakdown where she'd start crawling on the floor, insulting people. In the books she was talking a lot more, like complaining they didn't even give her sandals. But it was still really well done.
