Seems to me that you're confused. RugbyPlayingAshaman Send a noteboard - 09/02/2011 08:27:06 PM
You clearly have no idea what you are talking about, and are feigning intelligence. Go reread my comment.


Seems to me that you're confused - just because you think a thematic element is presented in a certain way, doesn't mean you are right or that your interpretation should automatically trump others. In this case, just because characters have a saying doesn't mean this reveals some true nature underlying the universe. The characters saying "The Wheel weaves as the wheel wills" do not know how the Pattern functions or why. Relying on that statement is misleading.

Yeah, that seems logical, funny to see rand bite himself in the ass :p *NM* Kieran - 08/02/2011 06:31:44 AM 475 Views
I want to reply and say that's not exactly how I picture it, but I don't want to be dirty. *NM* Deadsy - 08/02/2011 06:50:17 AM 518 Views
there once was a man from nantucket? *NM* nigelgoboom - 08/02/2011 07:18:47 AM 436 Views
Bwah ha ha! Dirty minds think alike! *NM* Evil_Monkey - 08/02/2011 03:41:30 PM 422 Views
That actually seems cosmically plausible - but I really hope this is not the case RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/02/2011 03:27:29 PM 1032 Views
But that has always been the case. I am astounded that it isn't recognized more often... Shannow - 08/02/2011 03:58:24 PM 901 Views
This. There's a reason one of his archetypes is the Fisher King. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/02/2011 07:00:05 PM 481 Views
The issue is that the Fisher King story is about the Land, not the People RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/02/2011 08:02:24 PM 820 Views
A good example Kieran - 08/02/2011 08:27:44 PM 848 Views
None of this is contradicted by what I have posited entyti - 08/02/2011 09:16:48 PM 767 Views
But the chess analogy is what I'm seeing - the Dragon is necessary in degree not in total. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 09/02/2011 02:42:15 PM 893 Views
Yes, those are the rules in chess... entyti - 10/02/2011 05:34:25 AM 808 Views
The Fisher King is not a messianic myth. Ghavrel - 08/02/2011 10:07:44 PM 891 Views
Fisher King title and legends are connected to the Messianic mythos RugbyPlayingAshaman - 09/02/2011 09:47:14 PM 1063 Views
The disciples, not Jesus, were the "fishers of men." EDITED. Ghavrel - 09/02/2011 10:08:24 PM 758 Views
Yeah, you're right about the fish - I was reaching (and typed too fast to think) RugbyPlayingAshaman - 10/02/2011 05:30:29 PM 706 Views

I'm exhausted, so I may be misremembering. Ghavrel - 09/02/2011 09:27:18 AM 847 Views
That was Tam. Gher - 09/02/2011 05:09:45 PM 885 Views

The amount of elitism on this board would be depressing if it weren't so damned funny. Ghavrel - 09/02/2011 09:18:13 PM 789 Views
What depresses me... entyti - 09/02/2011 11:23:13 PM 725 Views
I, personally, like it. It makes sense for the Dragon to be an incarnation of the Serpent. Ghavrel - 09/02/2011 11:39:28 PM 838 Views
I didn't mean to hijack it - other replies did RugbyPlayingAshaman - 10/02/2011 02:51:35 PM 798 Views
It is of little consequence entyti - 10/02/2011 05:36:40 PM 774 Views
Relax homeboy. It was a joke. *NM* Velveti - 10/02/2011 02:07:55 AM 452 Views
