Re: By that definition, is there any such thing as freedom? moratcorlm Send a noteboard - 09/12/2010 09:45:14 AM
Presumably if you were in a situation where 'this least tangible of issues' were imposed upon you, you might find it less bemusing.
Oh, stop being so melodramatic. This is not an action movie; there is no emotional swell in the music when you cry "Freedom!"
being poor (which even today pretty much brings about the rest of your list)
Ah, OK.
Peasants could own things
Da'covale can own things.
legal standing is one of the things I specifically mentioned peasants had and that slaves did not.
It's specifically mentioned in the books that peasants had no legal standing in Tear or Cairhien before Rand imposed a new justice system on them. Whether da'covale have legal standing is an interesting question; I certainly would find it odd if none of them did.
