The less you attempt to understand the characters in WoT, the better off you are. Tom Send a noteboard - 21/11/2010 08:22:30 PM
The motivations and actions of the characters generally are implausible at best. Try writing down what any major character's motivations are and see if you can relate to them. In most cases you won't be able to. Try understanding why Moiraine likes a guy with no money and one foot in the grave. Attempt to understand Mat's faux attempt at being simple. Or Egwene in anything. It's just not possible and not worth the effort. Jordan never meant to wrote about real people with real motivations.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
