bugs the hell out of me. Him thinking about how hard he is; how hard he must be/become; how much harder he is than he used to be.
It's not like I can't understand - he's been stripped of his identity, he's gonna go crazy, had everyone in the world try to use and treat him like a child, the Wheel depends on him, his opponents would destroy anything he cares about...
And still, it's tedious and annoying and kinda whiny and it obviously isn't a good coping mechanism. Even LTT is shocked by how stupid he's being! Also, it's kinda total BS since he has to keep a list of women who died for him (among other totally "non-hard" things he does).
Maybe it's a consequence of how long the series has taken to complete. Perhaps if this were only 6 novels, it wouldn't have come up so often...

Culturally it's probably an accurate description. It is 16th/17th century

I agree - IRL I often notice that it's less "men" vs "women", and moreso personality clashes.

I'm of the opinion that blademasters are not the match of a powerful warrior

I think he doesn't know how to write what an evil character would look or sound like

I've always wondered why RJ didn't try to develop this theme ...

It's less of a theme and more like a case of mental derangement
