Ordinarily, I would disagree... RabidWombat Send a noteboard - 14/11/2009 04:20:28 AM
None of those is a good reason or acceptable mitigation for serving the Dark One.


Ordinarily, I would disagree. Egwene is executing people not for a crime, but for being part of an organization. In ordinary circumstances a BA who has done nothing evil should not be executed.

But in a time of war, where the enemy has the power to use and manipulate people the way he does and with the power that these women have Egwene's decision was reasonable. I don't necessarily think that it is the best solution, but it is a reasonable one. I wouldn't second guess Egwene's decision here. The alternatives were not that better.

Who performs the worst atrocity in this book: Egwene or Rand? (A good Cannoli question) Matrimony Cauthon - 13/11/2009 06:22:50 PM 2264 Views

Your hatred and judgment of Egwene is obsessive and at times unreasonable. Like right now. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 14/11/2009 03:56:34 AM 528 Views
