Thanks. Joel Send a noteboard - 20/12/2010 01:24:42 AM
None of her lessons in humility ever seem to take; even when she nominally accepts them her reaction seems to be along the lines of "ah, yes, I am so brilliant that I see how I was wrong before, and having learned that lesson I am now incapable of repeating the mistake". Like when profligates "see the light", answer an altar call and then assume having recognized their faults and accepting redemption makes them invulnerable to any further transgression. She's not as bad as ever, she's WORSE, because of her cavalier belief that having been humbled and accepted it makes her so superior to others. Of course, all that really means is that she's at such a pinnacle of conceit that even Elaida and Niall would be gasping for breath, and in a perfect position for an epic fall to earth.

So simple.

Simple is usually best; I just need occasional reminders of that. ;)

I think people aren't giving Egwene enough credit. - 15/12/2010 04:59:09 AM 1265 Views
She's not bringing everyone for a discussion, but for leverage to force him to change his mind. - 19/12/2010 09:54:49 PM 1191 Views

Huh? - 20/12/2010 05:09:39 AM 1130 Views
I find the theory - 20/12/2010 09:18:34 AM 1028 Views
That's a new one to me - 20/12/2010 09:45:09 AM 1130 Views
Your theory is very unlikely - 20/12/2010 09:50:26 AM 1139 Views
If it was a plant, why would it be so oblique? - 29/12/2010 07:22:58 AM 988 Views

That's not true. - 21/12/2010 02:22:50 AM 1266 Views
Sadly, the thing you reference four times isn't actually anywhere in the book. - 29/12/2010 03:17:15 AM 1260 Views

Don't take this the wrong way, but I think I love you. (edited) - 29/12/2010 06:43:32 PM 1409 Views
Ah, if only I could sell the concept of sister-wives.... - 29/12/2010 07:09:56 PM 1068 Views

Dear lord, you wrote the Egwene haters' ultimate fantasy right there - 19/12/2010 01:41:55 AM 1137 Views
Don't think of use as Egwene haters... - 19/12/2010 04:32:11 AM 1090 Views
One problematic issue...This assumes the Dark One cannot hold himself back once the Seals are broken - 15/12/2010 07:57:53 AM 1273 Views
Err, it's the other way around - 15/12/2010 09:00:38 AM 1198 Views
I see. It's the same thing, really, just looking at it from the opposite perspective... - 15/12/2010 09:14:22 AM 1278 Views
Don't you know it's all about the posturing - 15/12/2010 09:40:15 AM 1245 Views
It's more that you take it out of context - 15/12/2010 11:32:36 AM 1249 Views
So then... - 15/12/2010 06:35:02 PM 1224 Views

Nature of the DO - 15/12/2010 10:38:24 PM 1056 Views
While I agree overall, I think this is a case where Rand/TDR mistakes his role - 15/12/2010 05:37:25 PM 1035 Views
I don't see why Egwene would oppose his plan - 15/12/2010 06:17:47 PM 1051 Views
I don't think that's the issue. - 15/12/2010 07:31:03 PM 1116 Views
I think Egwene is successful and Rand has to go to the Seanchan for female channeler assistance - 18/12/2010 12:47:54 AM 1172 Views
Egwene's dream seems a little more personal than that - 18/12/2010 04:55:37 AM 1017 Views
Yes - 18/12/2010 07:57:35 AM 1046 Views
Actually, I think Tuon will capture her, and then release her. *NM* - 18/12/2010 02:47:42 PM 563 Views

Those are vewings and prophesies... - 18/12/2010 03:43:55 PM 939 Views
I wish - 16/12/2010 08:29:23 PM 1099 Views
That's just it: Egwene is not only wrong, she's narratively wrong. - 19/12/2010 11:30:35 PM 1492 Views
Man, that's the best take on Egwene I have ever read. - 20/12/2010 12:38:07 AM 1082 Views

You may be onto something there. - 20/12/2010 01:35:46 AM 1108 Views

Wish I'd read this sooner, 'cos I agree on several points. - 29/12/2010 03:38:59 AM 1118 Views
Re: Wish I'd read this sooner, 'cos I agree on several points. - 29/12/2010 07:32:49 AM 1084 Views
It seems an odd oversight, yes; I can't even recall her being Delved when the truth was revealed. - 29/12/2010 12:40:00 PM 1118 Views
Ensure this value has at most 100 characters (it has 101). - 29/12/2010 03:00:22 PM 2838 Views
Ah, good point; Rand might have to do the job himself. - 29/12/2010 06:43:44 PM 1082 Views
More likely to be Flinn. - 29/12/2010 08:18:19 PM 1104 Views
Maybe, once he knows the signs and techniques. - 30/12/2010 03:10:27 PM 1098 Views
Not sure if Rand had seized the source yet - he wouldn't have wanted to do it in front of Ramshalan - 30/12/2010 03:15:43 PM 1051 Views
Good point, too. - 30/12/2010 03:17:06 PM 1032 Views
He was holding the gateway open. *NM* - 30/12/2010 04:27:25 PM 538 Views
Thanks, had forgotten that. - 31/12/2010 04:43:25 AM 1027 Views
