Re:TOM Chapter 1 Biblical Parallel dread0 Send a noteboard - 02/10/2010 08:31:35 PM
Beyond the obvious Arthurian parallel that Rand is one with the land; there is a Biblical parallel to Moses in Chapter 1. Rand (Moses) descending from the volcano Dragonmount (Sinai) to speak to the Amrylin (Pharaoh) with a message they won't like.

Enjoy!

Not too much new to work with. Is "she" Egwene? Cads? Someone else? *NM* RandAllThor - 01/10/2010 02:01:12 PM 780 Views

It's the style. In the Randland context, the word "grows" is more appropriate... Shannow - 01/10/2010 03:31:22 PM 1356 Views
did you not read my reply title? That was a quote from The Shadow Rising, same exact context. *NM* Deadsy - 01/10/2010 03:32:23 PM 753 Views
Fine. So be it. It still feels wrong to me. *NM* Shannow - 01/10/2010 03:36:16 PM 648 Views

It sounds like Rand is finally growing up RugbyPlayingAshaman - 01/10/2010 03:46:54 PM 1415 Views
He has achieved enlightenment and knows more than everyone else, so he doesn't have to be insecure.. Shannow - 01/10/2010 03:52:23 PM 1205 Views
I don't agree - I think that what he is going to tell Egwene will be unpleasant for everyone. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 01/10/2010 04:07:19 PM 1301 Views
Why would that upset her? Shannow - 01/10/2010 04:21:29 PM 1354 Views
