watch out that you don't fall when you jump on a bandwagon darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 16/02/2010 01:51:09 AM
Even Elayne and Nynaeve, who originally appeared to be more haughty than Egwene, have thanked Mat by now.

As we see with Rand, power does sometimes require that people be seen to respect you and obey your without question PUBLICLY, but Egwene doesn't seem to understand that privately she can trust people, treat them as equals (or betters), or actually give THEM some respect.

Most recently, she gets whiny about Siuan and Gawyn saving her life in the Tower, even after it is clear that there was no effect on the outcome anyway. This is just not likeable, nor easily forgivable. I mean, come on, the girl is taking Siuan's (rightful!) place as Amyrlin, and she beats on Siuan, someone who gave up all desire for personal glory and who has dedicated her life to Egwene, for almost certainly saving her life? If she really thinks that she is that important to the Tower, then she should surely understand that her life needs to be kept safe, but she doesn't even consider this.


Where exactly has Egwene had the opportunity to do the same?

Oh wait, right here... unlike Elayne and Nynaeve she hasn't been shamed into it!

She had every right to be pissed at Siuan and Gawyn for "coming to her rescue" ... they deliberately disobeyed a direct order. Your assessment of Siuan is laughable at best! "gave up all desire for personal glory?" ... give it a rest, she single handedly extended the rebellion by spreading lies simply to get back at Elaida for what had happened!

I suggest a re-read to you.

God I am so pissed off at Future Egwene - 14/02/2010 07:02:20 AM 2693 Views
Just like Elayne treated him so well when she kicked him out of Andor? - 14/02/2010 01:35:32 PM 856 Views

This is about Egwene, not Nynaeve. - 15/02/2010 06:09:46 PM 914 Views

yet even Siuan seems to understand and accept Egwene's response ... odd that you can hold her to - 16/02/2010 01:55:35 AM 781 Views
