Egwene was a complex character Knightscape Send a noteboard - 24/01/2013 04:00:04 PM
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.


It would depend on how you wanted to look upon her, some would see a highly accomplished and forceful individual who was doing her best to help the WT and the world during very trying times, other would view her as an arrogant bully who would stop at nothing to get what she wants. I generally saw her as both.
Just because I don't idolize her characterization doesn't mean I didn't enjoy reading the character.
All good things come to those who wait.

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 1364 Views

I disagree about Cadsuane. Her entitlement issues are pretty significant. darius_sedai - 23/01/2013 11:29:04 PM 1321 Views

Age was never a limit to Cadsuane... fionwe1987 - 24/01/2013 01:20:46 AM 1339 Views
Cadsuane was able to adapt in her dealing with the DR Knightscape - 24/01/2013 02:16:31 AM 1287 Views
Huh? fionwe1987 - 24/01/2013 02:23:28 AM 1163 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 1306 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 1541 Views
None of the EF crew did. Mat is even worse about it than Egwene darius_sedai - 25/01/2013 07:12:40 AM 1280 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 1288 Views

The Pattern doesn't pick Amyrlins. fionwe1987 - 23/01/2013 10:29:47 PM 1270 Views
The Pattern determines the general path of Wotworld Knightscape - 23/01/2013 11:36:19 PM 1322 Views

Bwahahahaha .... That's the funniest statement on the boards in years darius_sedai - 24/01/2013 02:09:35 AM 1179 Views
Imagine if she never met a wylder *NM* Knightscape - 24/01/2013 02:19:58 AM 771 Views
She'd be an even bigger douche? darius_sedai - 24/01/2013 05:48:45 AM 1202 Views
Egwene almost had all of the Westlands united under the authority of the WT? Zeratul - 23/01/2013 11:02:17 PM 1322 Views
Who would Egwene ever have knelt to? Knightscape - 23/01/2013 11:53:30 PM 1245 Views
Exactly why does she have to kneel? fionwe1987 - 24/01/2013 01:31:03 AM 1390 Views
Why does Egwene expect people to kneel and kiss her ring Knightscape - 24/01/2013 02:08:21 AM 1230 Views
She doesn't. She expects people to show respect for the position of Amyrlin darius_sedai - 24/01/2013 02:14:29 AM 1260 Views
She did become Dragon Sworn *NM* Knightscape - 24/01/2013 02:22:02 AM 800 Views
Where did you get that idea from? darius_sedai - 25/01/2013 07:13:45 AM 1209 Views
Re: Where did you get that idea from? Knightscape - 25/01/2013 06:17:25 PM 1358 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 1384 Views
Re: Why does Egwene expect people to kneel and kiss her ring fionwe1987 - 24/01/2013 02:25:18 AM 1273 Views
