Rand's stupid need to try to be hard newyorkersedai Send a noteboard - 31/03/2010 01:12:41 AM
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...

I've always wondered why RJ didn't try to develop this theme ... - 01/04/2010 06:10:23 PM 758 Views
It's less of a theme and more like a case of mental derangement - 01/04/2010 09:04:58 PM 683 Views
it's even more frustrating that it started to be used for a while - 08/04/2010 11:51:42 AM 719 Views
