Rand is a poor imitation of Lews Therin Sidious Send a noteboard - 03/09/2009 04:26:56 PM
It seems like for the entire series Rand, along with everyone in the third age, has been a dim comparison to his AoL counterpart. True he has grown more powerful and adept in using the Power as the books have come out, but always he has discovered "not even a tenth" of what his true power could be. Even still, in the 11th book, Rand needs Lews Therin to take over to make full use of his skills.

My question is, will Rand ever surpass Lews Therin? Or is his only hope to be as good as Lews Therin?


Lews Therin was the best of his kind, in an Age that rewarded generosity and service to humanity. While there were some bad eggs, RJ said that it was a close to utopia as one could get. Even the Forsaken say that he was soft hearted, and stank of goodness. Rand just can't live up to that sort of example.
