Just my take on Egwene & women in WOT StormCrow Send a noteboard - 23/11/2009 06:39:23 PM
Egwene has, aside from early Nynaeve, been the character that expects everyone to do as she wants them to. That has remained with her as she's gained power and influence.

I was saying earlier that I think this develops, male vs. female, as part of the WOT culture. It seems to get worse when the two, in this case Egwene and Gawyn, are in a relationship. She just seems to expect a certain amount of deference because he cares about her and women are in charge of the relationships.

This is just the way it seems to me. Not a big deal.

I tolerated him, but he is still a shallow loser, and I'm still not impressed. - 16/11/2009 08:49:04 PM 845 Views

How many Egwenes does it take to be ungrateful for being rescued & having her job saved? *NM* - 16/11/2009 04:01:56 AM 433 Views

This is kind of a recurring theme in WOT, to me. - 16/11/2009 09:56:52 PM 931 Views
But... - 17/11/2009 03:39:18 AM 796 Views
Rescue, not protect. - 17/11/2009 06:42:50 AM 893 Views
Rescuing and protecting are similar. - 17/11/2009 07:12:02 AM 799 Views

But then, why does she feel she can order Gawyn around? - 17/11/2009 09:57:20 PM 888 Views
Because she's... , he <3's her, and if that's not enough, she's the A. Seat! *NM* - 18/11/2009 09:01:30 PM 384 Views
I'm afraid I still don't get it. *NM* - 19/11/2009 12:13:26 AM 406 Views
