Because only humans use capital letters when they speak...wait, what? *NM* Dark Knight Send a noteboard - 30/08/2012 11:48:50 PM
Okay, a quick four questions.

Does anyone know why Felurian speaks without using any capital letters? Even Kvothe's name is in lower case. I reread the early chapters with her and didn't find an explanation, am I just missing something? Is there a reason or is it simply because he is in the Fae, or artistic choice?

I actually find it quite annoying. The sight of her sentences simply make me cringe. What do you guys think?

I mean, I don't think this is that obscure - 31/08/2012 05:24:22 PM 1340 Views
Has it been used elsewhere? *NM* - 01/09/2012 12:30:14 AM 742 Views
Has any other author done something like that? Hm. - 01/09/2012 07:15:29 PM 1299 Views
Oh okay. - 03/09/2012 12:40:41 PM 1289 Views
Read Pratchett. You are missing out otherwise. - 03/09/2012 04:47:19 PM 1332 Views

You know, I misread the Cthaeh to be the tree itself, and I'm a little bummed it's not. *NM* - 01/09/2012 11:26:07 AM 593 Views
Same here. *NM* - 03/09/2012 04:48:08 PM 587 Views
All true... - 01/09/2012 01:34:47 PM 1402 Views
I agree with the other responses, and IIRC wasn't Felurian's name capitalized in that section? - 01/09/2012 11:04:16 PM 1256 Views
Well it certainly is capitalized in Kvothe's narration... - 03/09/2012 12:45:34 PM 1312 Views
I just got to that part in my reread. - 03/09/2012 03:24:48 PM 1386 Views
Oh cool *NM* - 03/09/2012 04:06:32 PM 596 Views
Yep. Confirmed. - 03/09/2012 04:46:11 PM 1412 Views
