I agree that it was rushed and not as well written as we would all prefer, but I do understand the intention. He grew up KNOWING that he would be First prince of the Sword. The most important millitary commander in all of Andor. It would be HIS millitary might and savy that would empower the political will of Elayne. His counsel would be heard and respected. His name would be known throughout the world. That is not being in someone's shadow. Gawyn, up until TOM was a very shallow character, but with potential. He just needed to grow up.


Not necessarily. All he would be was a weapon to be wielded as his sister desired. Gareth Bryne did achieve fame in his position as Captain-General, but this was largely due to his own qualities, not his position. In fact, the only reason he had that position was because of those qualities. I don't see why Gawyn would harbour any particular expectation of greatness in that regard, since he would consider Galad to be his superior in the matter. Besides, if that were important to him, he would have returned to Andor for the succession, wouldn't he?

Gawyn's flaw is loving Egwene. Anything else pales before that. *NM* - 10/11/2010 04:57:25 AM 841 Views
