The DO is basically an inhuman chaotic and corrupting force, contrary to the order and creation the Creator stands for. The DO wants to break his prison of course. Furthermore, I think he wants/has to destroy all of creation, because it's basically his nature. Possibly he ultimately wants to destroy the Creator as well (maybe, though, there is a cosmic rule, that they can't directly kill each other, a'la Lost). What would happen or what the DO would do if everything else is destroyed is hard to say. Maybe the DO would extinguish as well, or just rest for all eternity. As RJ said, one can't really grasp his motivation with a human mind, because the DO is basically a God.

What I never understand in any fantasy series... - 09/06/2010 10:22:13 PM 717 Views
utter evil always seems a bit shallow in the end - 09/06/2010 11:16:59 PM 560 Views
Especially if you're immortal - 10/06/2010 03:47:26 AM 535 Views
Here's another stumper for these things, but first - 10/06/2010 12:08:41 AM 605 Views
Without discussing theodicy (that's a CMB sort of discussion)... - 10/06/2010 03:53:31 AM 907 Views
I don't think RJ shows a balanced power system - 10/06/2010 12:23:03 PM 527 Views
It's name is the Creator, maby it's unable to destroy the DO? *NM* - 15/06/2010 09:02:12 AM 215 Views
I think I get the goal of the one in WoT though. *NM* - 10/06/2010 12:11:57 AM 224 Views
It's like Aerosmith said... - 10/06/2010 01:36:17 AM 518 Views
But Shai'tan is operating as though it's about the goal, not the journey. *NM* - 10/06/2010 03:55:27 AM 240 Views
That is his thought... - 11/06/2010 01:54:42 AM 456 Views
I agree that Shaitan must've been behind the "Crying/Crazy/Amazin'" songs *NM* - 10/06/2010 03:25:26 PM 299 Views
that's kind of the point... - 10/06/2010 04:19:30 AM 518 Views
This. - 10/06/2010 04:40:34 AM 533 Views
Exactly. I've been saying this for quite a while - 10/06/2010 10:29:01 PM 465 Views
I'll give this a go... - 10/06/2010 05:19:49 AM 580 Views
destroy the circular nature of the wheel, instead of the wheel - 11/06/2010 05:04:41 PM 452 Views
I don't agree with many of these people - I think the bad guys have plausible agendas - 10/06/2010 08:45:52 AM 502 Views
Personally I think the Wheel is the DOs prison not just an "eyesore" - 10/06/2010 12:29:13 PM 459 Views
Probably a chicken and egg scenario - 10/06/2010 03:29:34 PM 433 Views
probably! - 11/06/2010 02:18:29 AM 452 Views

It could be that Dark One's goal is own death - 10/06/2010 02:18:13 AM 495 Views
Then why would he fight so hard? - 10/06/2010 03:54:55 AM 583 Views
I like this idea... - 10/06/2010 08:47:52 AM 504 Views
I don't think he can die - 10/06/2010 08:57:05 AM 523 Views
Well... - 10/06/2010 04:32:45 AM 569 Views
So... - 10/06/2010 08:49:48 AM 553 Views
Seems unlikely to me. - 10/06/2010 06:09:46 PM 543 Views

Oh, no. - 11/06/2010 06:26:55 AM 481 Views
