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 562 Views
Especially if you're immortal - 10/06/2010 03:47:26 AM 537 Views
Here's another stumper for these things, but first - 10/06/2010 12:08:41 AM 606 Views
Without discussing theodicy (that's a CMB sort of discussion)... - 10/06/2010 03:53:31 AM 909 Views
I don't think RJ shows a balanced power system - 10/06/2010 12:23:03 PM 528 Views
It's name is the Creator, maby it's unable to destroy the DO? *NM* - 15/06/2010 09:02:12 AM 216 Views
I think I get the goal of the one in WoT though. *NM* - 10/06/2010 12:11:57 AM 225 Views
It's like Aerosmith said... - 10/06/2010 01:36:17 AM 519 Views
But Shai'tan is operating as though it's about the goal, not the journey. *NM* - 10/06/2010 03:55:27 AM 241 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 520 Views
This. - 10/06/2010 04:40:34 AM 535 Views
Exactly. I've been saying this for quite a while - 10/06/2010 10:29:01 PM 467 Views
I'll give this a go... - 10/06/2010 05:19:49 AM 581 Views
destroy the circular nature of the wheel, instead of the wheel - 11/06/2010 05:04:41 PM 453 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 503 Views
Personally I think the Wheel is the DOs prison not just an "eyesore" - 10/06/2010 12:29:13 PM 460 Views
Probably a chicken and egg scenario - 10/06/2010 03:29:34 PM 434 Views
probably! - 11/06/2010 02:18:29 AM 454 Views

It could be that Dark One's goal is own death - 10/06/2010 02:18:13 AM 496 Views
Then why would he fight so hard? - 10/06/2010 03:54:55 AM 585 Views
I like this idea... - 10/06/2010 08:47:52 AM 506 Views
I don't think he can die - 10/06/2010 08:57:05 AM 524 Views
Well... - 10/06/2010 04:32:45 AM 570 Views
So... - 10/06/2010 08:49:48 AM 554 Views
Seems unlikely to me. - 10/06/2010 06:09:46 PM 545 Views

Oh, no. - 11/06/2010 06:26:55 AM 483 Views
