Huh? No. You are so off it's not even funny. Velveti Send a noteboard - 09/02/2011 03:16:05 AM
I think it would undermine what I see as a major theme in the series; namely, that everyone is important and seemingly minor choices have a large-scale effect because they effect everyone else.


The whole point of "the Wheel weaves as the wheel wills" is that the characters have NO choice and/or freedom.

That actually seems cosmically plausible - but I really hope this is not the case RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/02/2011 03:27:29 PM 955 Views
But that has always been the case. I am astounded that it isn't recognized more often... Shannow - 08/02/2011 03:58:24 PM 834 Views
This. There's a reason one of his archetypes is the Fisher King. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/02/2011 07:00:05 PM 451 Views
The issue is that the Fisher King story is about the Land, not the People RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/02/2011 08:02:24 PM 758 Views
A good example Kieran - 08/02/2011 08:27:44 PM 784 Views
None of this is contradicted by what I have posited entyti - 08/02/2011 09:16:48 PM 705 Views
But the chess analogy is what I'm seeing - the Dragon is necessary in degree not in total. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 09/02/2011 02:42:15 PM 814 Views
Yes, those are the rules in chess... entyti - 10/02/2011 05:34:25 AM 725 Views
The Fisher King is not a messianic myth. Ghavrel - 08/02/2011 10:07:44 PM 826 Views
Fisher King title and legends are connected to the Messianic mythos RugbyPlayingAshaman - 09/02/2011 09:47:14 PM 974 Views
The disciples, not Jesus, were the "fishers of men." EDITED. Ghavrel - 09/02/2011 10:08:24 PM 670 Views
Yeah, you're right about the fish - I was reaching (and typed too fast to think) RugbyPlayingAshaman - 10/02/2011 05:30:29 PM 626 Views

I, personally, like it. It makes sense for the Dragon to be an incarnation of the Serpent. Ghavrel - 09/02/2011 11:39:28 PM 758 Views
