Galad is revolutionary because he agrees with basically none of the fundamental ethics of the Children of the Light and lucked his way to the top by dint of applying his own independent ethics. Witches? His adopted mother channels. His sister channels. The woman he was attracted to for the last few years channels. Though he doesn't know it yet, his half-brother channels. And he's never flinched in supporting that, just in opposing Siuan and Elaida's machinations; he didn't come to any moral dilemma.


Surely there's more to the fundamental ethics of the Whitecloaks than killing Aes Sedai.

Egwene, on the other hand, has adopted the ethics of the Aes Sedai and made them her own, as she has every other society she's ever been hosted by. It makes her much less likely to be a revolutionary, but very ironically it makes her much more honest in a sense than Galad.


Not really, since Galad was decieved into thinking the Whitecloaks were much closer to his idealised vision of them than they actually are.

Go look up the definition of the word atrocity - 25/10/2010 04:53:55 PM 890 Views
Maybe you should have done that yourself: "behaviour or an action that is wicked or ruthless" - 27/10/2010 11:11:30 AM 849 Views

You asked for atrocities and you got them. Now you just don't know what to do with them. - 28/10/2010 06:49:16 PM 919 Views
dude, you gave us a list of petty crimes and compared it to mass murder - 28/10/2010 06:59:33 PM 879 Views

You should be an Aes Sedai; the way you can twist truth would scare Siuan. - 28/10/2010 09:07:24 PM 850 Views

But that is irrelevant. Aes Sedai can also go to Amadicia in disguise. *NM* - 21/10/2010 05:35:18 AM 462 Views

They don't wear their uniform, their one identifying feature. That is a disguise. - 21/10/2010 09:08:25 PM 809 Views
