Egwene SACRIFICED her life for her beliefs! Just because you found her character irritating doesn't mean she wasn't a hero in the series.

This doesn't count for anything to those who rabidly hate Egwene. Its only more irritating to them that she died heroically. And of course, some even find ways to twist that into something negative. I've seen posts calling her arrogant for assuming she could defeat Taim, that she killed herself only because she knew she'd be burned out if she let go of the Power (completely ignoring that she overdrew by choice, not accident), and other things in that vein. Just be satisfied the character wasn't shortchanged, and those who can read the books without ridiculous biases can enjoy the progression of her arc very much.


Why's it arrogant? She DID defeat him. And the Sharan army.

Well since Cadsuane won't abolish the oaths she'll be dead before she can accomplish much darius_sedai - 23/01/2013 10:00:27 PM 1166 Views

I disagree about Cadsuane. Her entitlement issues are pretty significant. darius_sedai - 23/01/2013 11:29:04 PM 1089 Views

Age was never a limit to Cadsuane... fionwe1987 - 24/01/2013 01:20:46 AM 1074 Views
Cadsuane was able to adapt in her dealing with the DR Knightscape - 24/01/2013 02:16:31 AM 1087 Views
Huh? fionwe1987 - 24/01/2013 02:23:28 AM 970 Views
Seriously ... She constantly reminds herself that Rand is NOT the boy she grew up with darius_sedai - 24/01/2013 05:50:45 AM 1080 Views
She seemed to have difficulties with the idea of him in charge, and the idea of him channeling Knightscape - 24/01/2013 04:23:43 PM 1333 Views
None of the EF crew did. Mat is even worse about it than Egwene darius_sedai - 25/01/2013 07:12:40 AM 1066 Views

Still, Cadsuane is near 300 years old and unless she drops the oaths she's going to be dead soon darius_sedai - 23/01/2013 11:31:17 PM 1057 Views

The Pattern doesn't pick Amyrlins. fionwe1987 - 23/01/2013 10:29:47 PM 1060 Views
The Pattern determines the general path of Wotworld Knightscape - 23/01/2013 11:36:19 PM 1103 Views
Nope... fionwe1987 - 24/01/2013 01:25:46 AM 1107 Views

Bwahahahaha .... That's the funniest statement on the boards in years darius_sedai - 24/01/2013 02:09:35 AM 963 Views
Imagine if she never met a wylder *NM* Knightscape - 24/01/2013 02:19:58 AM 660 Views
She'd be an even bigger douche? darius_sedai - 24/01/2013 05:48:45 AM 985 Views
Egwene almost had all of the Westlands united under the authority of the WT? Zeratul - 23/01/2013 11:02:17 PM 1096 Views
Who would Egwene ever have knelt to? Knightscape - 23/01/2013 11:53:30 PM 1049 Views
Exactly why does she have to kneel? fionwe1987 - 24/01/2013 01:31:03 AM 1169 Views
Why does Egwene expect people to kneel and kiss her ring Knightscape - 24/01/2013 02:08:21 AM 1020 Views
She doesn't. She expects people to show respect for the position of Amyrlin darius_sedai - 24/01/2013 02:14:29 AM 1014 Views
She did become Dragon Sworn *NM* Knightscape - 24/01/2013 02:22:02 AM 663 Views
Where did you get that idea from? darius_sedai - 25/01/2013 07:13:45 AM 988 Views
Re: Where did you get that idea from? Knightscape - 25/01/2013 06:17:25 PM 1128 Views
Cadsuane never swore any oaths to Rand. She agreed to be his advisor nothing more darius_sedai - 27/01/2013 05:35:21 PM 1165 Views
Re: Why does Egwene expect people to kneel and kiss her ring fionwe1987 - 24/01/2013 02:25:18 AM 1048 Views

Egwene hate is one of those blinding diseases darius_sedai - 25/01/2013 02:10:40 PM 951 Views
I'm probably something of an Egwene hater... gban007 - 28/01/2013 03:23:27 AM 1025 Views
Egwene was a complex character Knightscape - 24/01/2013 04:00:04 PM 962 Views

Re: I don't idolize the character either DomA - 27/01/2013 07:46:17 PM 1260 Views
No, but neither would Cadsuane Zeratul - 24/01/2013 02:34:02 PM 1100 Views
They are both equally arrogant in different ways. Nothing in it *NM* IndigoAjah - 26/01/2013 03:47:00 PM 629 Views
