Regarding the mother's permission.... Cannoli Send a noteboard - 28/04/2011 07:26:29 PM

The sex part is pretty funny. I don't necessary agree, though, I think Egwene's just a prude and also still follows seems to be the Two Rivers customs in this respect (IIRC they only accept premarital sex if the mother gives permission to the girl, and she didn't have it) though it's strange that this is is about the only Two Rivers custom she has kept. It's clear that the Aes Sedai don't care whether one of them sleeps with her Warder or with whoever she wants.


She was setting the groundwork to blow it off a couple books ago. She was thinking that even if she had no way of getting permission, she was sure her mother would say yes, so.... When it's about what Egwene wants, she rationalizes a way around the custom, but when it comes to delaying a little gratification to get Gawyn used to jumping when she says frog, the customs make a great excuse.

There's fifty feet of crap between rock bottom and your post... *NM* - 28/04/2011 07:40:04 AM 470 Views
Almost three days since the last post...at least I'm trying. - 28/04/2011 12:17:59 PM 931 Views
Sorry about that... - 28/04/2011 10:58:50 PM 990 Views
Ah, its always good to see a good Egwene rant. Bravo! NM *NM* - 28/04/2011 01:58:46 PM 708 Views

while i agree with you on most of this - 28/04/2011 04:53:06 PM 1075 Views
hmpf, i post a good point and nothing - 28/04/2011 11:09:53 PM 852 Views
Everybody agrees with you, that's why there were no replies *NM* - 28/04/2011 11:29:13 PM 457 Views

In regards to the letters... - 28/04/2011 05:28:13 PM 1117 Views
But Gawyn was not Egwene's subject - 28/04/2011 06:09:31 PM 930 Views
Which was why I thought it was appropriate, since he meant to act as Egwene's Warder. - 28/04/2011 06:19:53 PM 896 Views
The only issue is that Warders are not minions - they are honored junior partners. - 28/04/2011 07:39:18 PM 1050 Views
No, the junior partners are Accepted. Warders are essentially personal bodyguards and/or assistants. - 28/04/2011 08:00:17 PM 847 Views

Accepted are not anything, let alone junior partners. Don't think N&E's experience was typical - 28/04/2011 09:32:22 PM 1073 Views
Here's the thing though... - 28/04/2011 11:20:32 PM 898 Views
No, but it's cute and quirky when Faile does it. - 29/04/2011 03:06:50 PM 1066 Views

Galad is a great option for a political marriage - 28/04/2011 09:04:46 PM 883 Views
Yes, but... - 28/04/2011 09:40:39 PM 928 Views
but galad knew nothing of berelain's closeness to rand, so that couldn't have affected anything - 28/04/2011 10:12:23 PM 962 Views
Exactly - 28/04/2011 10:27:04 PM 805 Views
Yes. An often overlooked point is that ELAYNE, not Egwene, gains the most power in ToM - 28/04/2011 09:42:43 PM 1262 Views

I can only quibble; Egwene became so insufferable in ToM I'm convinced her fate will be unpleasant. - 04/05/2011 12:41:53 AM 1026 Views
