I think people aren't giving Egwene enough credit. LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 15/12/2010 04:59:09 AM
She is acting responsibly. Albeit not as we--with more knowledge than her and a more distant perspective--think she should act. As far as everyone knows, the Seals must maintain. That's the knowledge and probably only Rand really KNOWS-knows otherwise. Some might suspect, but are so ingrained against the DO and all related to him that they will shove that suspicion down.

With this in mind, when a man purportedly gone bat shit out of his mind in a bad way waltzes in and goes "In a month, I'm letting the Bore loose. Good Day!" There's some cause for alarm and a motivation to dissuade him. It's a logical reaction.

An illogical and irresponsible reaction would be for her to Travel straight to Rand and start to berate him. Or to gather an attack against him.

The decision to go "hey, let's get everyone together and have a bit of a CHAT about this" is totally. logical. And, despite what some say, Egwene isn't outright STUPID. Stupidity doesn't tend to be one of her flaws. If he actually takes the time to explain himself--likely with support from Min, Moraine, Perrin and Nynaeve--she'll at least listen. And to be fair, when was the last time we even saw them together, before this??? A LONG while ago. They've both changed. Their interaction may be entirely different.

She's not bringing everyone for a discussion, but for leverage to force him to change his mind. - 19/12/2010 09:54:49 PM 1104 Views

Huh? - 20/12/2010 05:09:39 AM 1046 Views
I find the theory - 20/12/2010 09:18:34 AM 947 Views
That's a new one to me - 20/12/2010 09:45:09 AM 1033 Views
Your theory is very unlikely - 20/12/2010 09:50:26 AM 1035 Views
If it was a plant, why would it be so oblique? - 29/12/2010 07:22:58 AM 911 Views

That's not true. - 21/12/2010 02:22:50 AM 1181 Views
Sadly, the thing you reference four times isn't actually anywhere in the book. - 29/12/2010 03:17:15 AM 1163 Views

Don't take this the wrong way, but I think I love you. (edited) - 29/12/2010 06:43:32 PM 1326 Views
Ah, if only I could sell the concept of sister-wives.... - 29/12/2010 07:09:56 PM 988 Views

Dear lord, you wrote the Egwene haters' ultimate fantasy right there - 19/12/2010 01:41:55 AM 1061 Views
Don't think of use as Egwene haters... - 19/12/2010 04:32:11 AM 1006 Views
One problematic issue...This assumes the Dark One cannot hold himself back once the Seals are broken - 15/12/2010 07:57:53 AM 1197 Views
Err, it's the other way around - 15/12/2010 09:00:38 AM 1123 Views
I see. It's the same thing, really, just looking at it from the opposite perspective... - 15/12/2010 09:14:22 AM 1189 Views
Don't you know it's all about the posturing - 15/12/2010 09:40:15 AM 1135 Views
It's more that you take it out of context - 15/12/2010 11:32:36 AM 1174 Views

Nature of the DO - 15/12/2010 10:38:24 PM 978 Views
While I agree overall, I think this is a case where Rand/TDR mistakes his role - 15/12/2010 05:37:25 PM 933 Views
I don't see why Egwene would oppose his plan - 15/12/2010 06:17:47 PM 970 Views
I don't think that's the issue. - 15/12/2010 07:31:03 PM 1029 Views
I think Egwene is successful and Rand has to go to the Seanchan for female channeler assistance - 18/12/2010 12:47:54 AM 1098 Views
Egwene's dream seems a little more personal than that - 18/12/2010 04:55:37 AM 938 Views
Yes - 18/12/2010 07:57:35 AM 961 Views
Actually, I think Tuon will capture her, and then release her. *NM* - 18/12/2010 02:47:42 PM 529 Views

That's just it: Egwene is not only wrong, she's narratively wrong. - 19/12/2010 11:30:35 PM 1421 Views
Man, that's the best take on Egwene I have ever read. - 20/12/2010 12:38:07 AM 986 Views

Wish I'd read this sooner, 'cos I agree on several points. - 29/12/2010 03:38:59 AM 1034 Views

It seems an odd oversight, yes; I can't even recall her being Delved when the truth was revealed. - 29/12/2010 12:40:00 PM 1032 Views
Ensure this value has at most 100 characters (it has 101). - 29/12/2010 03:00:22 PM 2746 Views
Ah, good point; Rand might have to do the job himself. - 29/12/2010 06:43:44 PM 991 Views
More likely to be Flinn. - 29/12/2010 08:18:19 PM 1026 Views
Maybe, once he knows the signs and techniques. - 30/12/2010 03:10:27 PM 1012 Views
Not sure if Rand had seized the source yet - he wouldn't have wanted to do it in front of Ramshalan - 30/12/2010 03:15:43 PM 956 Views
Good point, too. - 30/12/2010 03:17:06 PM 947 Views
He was holding the gateway open. *NM* - 30/12/2010 04:27:25 PM 499 Views
Thanks, had forgotten that. - 31/12/2010 04:43:25 AM 947 Views
