Re: I Would Like It Noted for the Record I Was Right on Egwenes Fate/Progression; Twice, Actually RugbyPlayingAshaman Send a noteboard - 25/10/2013 05:03:59 PM

I don't recall Egwene ever claiming to be the Dragon Reborn or that she was fated to fight the Dark One or win Tarmon Gaidon. In Book I, she fought to defend him against the Forsaken buying him time, she worked with him in the Aiel Wastes and her POVs after uniting the Tower showed that she recognized he was the Dragon Reborn while being concerned for his sanity based upon reports.

So your prediction on the first point was wrong and based on faulty assumptions (and mistaken inferences which beg the question you were insinuating).

I'm still not convinced that RJ meant for her to die, though. Her death in particular was weak and I tend to think that it weakened Rand's storyline which undermined much of the series. I found myself putting the book to the side once finished and just thinking that this series had so much unrealized potential but devolved into a quaint, predictable story. IMHO.

I read somewhere one should hope for the best but prepare for the worst. Joel - 29/08/2013 10:18:18 AM 1145 Views
Gawyn matured? Fanatic-Templar - 30/08/2013 05:05:11 AM 917 Views
Yes; he grew beyond "I can ignore the rules and everyone must obey me because I know best." Joel - 30/08/2013 06:18:22 AM 1086 Views
Because that's clearly Egwene's job, and there wasn't room for two of them in that relationship *NM* ßelals Girl - 30/08/2013 02:01:53 PM 491 Views
Essentially; maybe he did not so much mature as bow to the absurd. Joel - 30/08/2013 03:35:51 PM 958 Views
That was never an issue. Fanatic-Templar - 30/08/2013 05:19:43 PM 1170 Views
I cannot decide whether I agree or not. Joel - 02/09/2013 05:47:39 AM 1077 Views
And his character...development, for lack of a better word...in ToM appeared forgotten in aMoL Cannoli - 05/09/2013 01:01:06 AM 1026 Views
Maybe death was a release from having to carry self-important harridans on their quests for power Cannoli - 05/09/2013 01:10:41 AM 1049 Views
Maybe Joel - 05/09/2013 01:39:10 AM 1015 Views
That's one opinion... fionwe1987 - 04/09/2013 06:06:15 PM 999 Views
Her death is a matter of fact, or fictional fact anyway. Joel - 04/09/2013 09:25:30 PM 957 Views
That wasn't what you predicted, though... fionwe1987 - 05/09/2013 02:49:06 AM 949 Views
Was her death not redemptive? Did she not admit Rand was right about the Seals? Joel - 05/09/2013 04:02:09 AM 927 Views

Wow, you predicted a plot progression in a predictable and completely worthless series of books. Tom - 05/09/2013 04:08:38 AM 928 Views
Doubtless his middle school English teacher would be proud. *NM* Larry - 05/09/2013 04:11:12 AM 917 Views
Hey, c'mon, without the The Wheel of Time ya'll could not be here gracing us with your erudition. Joel - 05/09/2013 04:41:46 AM 868 Views
Y'all, Texan, y'all. Not a badly constructed contraction of "you will". Sheesh. Larry - 05/09/2013 05:01:19 AM 1340 Views
Numerous sources attest to "ya'll" in both Faulkner and Hemingway. Joel - 05/09/2013 05:36:31 AM 998 Views
Yes, and Faulkner in particular was known for his non-orthodox orthography Larry - 05/09/2013 07:17:47 AM 1454 Views
"Non-orthodox" is a somewhat unorthodox spelling as well; does that invalidate it? Joel - 05/09/2013 11:05:57 PM 1421 Views
No, that was a late night spelling mistake - unorthodox is what I meant Larry - 07/09/2013 08:42:12 AM 1643 Views
It is not worthless, and that particular progression was not predictable enough for anyone else. Joel - 05/09/2013 04:34:11 AM 944 Views
I recall not caring about camps, or Jordan generally. Tom - 05/09/2013 03:06:43 PM 891 Views
Yet here we are. Joel - 05/09/2013 10:56:31 PM 1062 Views
I just check this board in hopes there will be an announcement that it will be closed. *NM* Tom - 07/09/2013 02:16:12 AM 453 Views
Same here, except it applies to the rest of the site as well. *NM* Larry - 07/09/2013 08:42:41 AM 809 Views
Pretty edgy for a Bush League Pedant. Dan - 14/09/2013 02:04:32 PM 1135 Views
Nah, I cannot quite be the asshole to your santorum, alas! Larry - 14/09/2013 06:02:41 PM 1429 Views
Ha! Dan - 22/09/2013 02:25:18 AM 1015 Views
