Re: I can't think of any mythological trio of masculine types... Lord Haart Send a noteboard - 05/09/2010 01:22:33 AM
Rand: ...I'm not sure. I've always had the hardest time really putting my thumb on Rand's character which is unusual for me. Looking at only his original characterization (before all the "crazy" interfering) he seems the most "normal". Different, a follower (Tam, often ends up being dragged into Mat's games), more "dog-like" than any wild animal. BUT, this is with a different type of characterization from the AUTHOR (i.e. characterization of the hero vs. his friends) So I've never really had a good answer..


Rand was deliberately written in a more vague manner because this makes him easier to identify with.

Possibly, they fit the 3 RPG stereotypes: Warrior (Perrin), Assassin/Thief (Mat) and Wizard (Rand).

What would be the trio of masculine archetypes, and how would the ta'veren fit them? Cannoli - 05/09/2010 12:01:09 AM 1377 Views

You have the mythology wrong, was my main point. Cannoli - 06/09/2010 01:07:01 AM 669 Views
I wonder if those are the archetypes on which the buddy-cop dynamic is based. Cannoli - 05/09/2010 06:33:56 AM 690 Views
