Re: I don't get why she is so displeased with Gawyn but Bryne got off free. DomA Send a noteboard - 11/05/2010 10:32:56 PM
Gareth Bryne is one of Egwene's underlings, Gawyn was not. Gareth Bryne disobeyed Egwene's orders, Gawyn was not under Egwene's authority for her to submit orders to him in the first place. Actually, I get that she is displeased with Gawyn for not trusting her, but she didn't make much of an effort to communicate to him or let him understand either, and she was in no position to stop him from doing what he thought was best either. Bryne, on the other hand was in clear violation of his duty to her. It seems to me her reaction to the two should have been inverted.


Egwene is well aware that if Aes Sedai gave direct orders to Bryne, he didn't have much of a choice but to obey them or face the consequences. It's Siuan who got Bryne into that scheme against his better judgement, and Egwene likely has guessed that.

Mind you, there's also politics involved. Egwene was well aware that the army was Bryne's, not the Aes Sedai's. Bryne may not be completely off the hook either. IRRC, Egwene has not yet made Bryne the new Tower Captain. He may well have lost her trust.

Maybe insanity caused by the taint would explain how stupid Gawyn is. - 13/05/2010 04:04:53 PM 517 Views
