I think the problem was not that Gawyn wasn't used to living in someone's shadow, it's that he wasn't happy about it. He always had hope for the future, that it would lead to glories that would allow him to step out from the shadows of his sister and brother, or whomever else. Instead, he gets exiled to a small town outside Tar Valon working for no good reason for people he hates while other people, especially the guy his sister likes that he thinks killed his mother, go about getting glory. This is what had made him so insufferable and twisted for so long, and it's something he didn't even recognize in himself.


I think it's pretty tragic that he had to abandon any dreams he might've had so he could be with Egwene. He's going to live his entire life knowing that he's nothing but a shadow of what he might have been had he chosen to live his own life.

Hey, I liked Gawyn . - 10/11/2010 02:19:21 AM 861 Views
Gawyn's flaw is loving Egwene. Anything else pales before that. *NM* - 10/11/2010 04:57:25 AM 841 Views
