Re: Hi! The reason I rolled my eyes... ßelals Girl Send a noteboard - 12/07/2011 07:30:07 PM
To be fair Perrin also assumed his cultural standards would be the norm and never made any effort to understand why it wasn't working until Elyas spelled it out for him, even though his in-laws gave him a good suggestion of it. And Faile has made efforts to adapt as well.


Yes, but Perrin didn't passive-agressively punish Faile for not living up to his cultural standards. Instead, he tried to fix whatever he was doing wrong. Yes, he was inept at it and ended up making the situation worse, but he was actually trying to make Faile feel better, not punishing her for not fitting into his idea of what a wife should be like. That's the difference.

That's not exactly what the incident was about. Fanatic-Templar - 10/07/2011 07:29:14 PM 1018 Views
Yes, and the way Egwene expressed her thoughts on the matter is quite disturning too Zeratul - 11/07/2011 12:56:59 AM 1016 Views

Much of Faile's "punishing" was just Perrin's super-nose. Fanatic-Templar - 13/07/2011 03:36:03 AM 952 Views

You have to make sure your husbands do what you want, while making them think it was their idea. CatherineSedai - 21/07/2011 04:28:39 AM 1023 Views
And I can buy that, which is why I'm surprised at how many claimed they were inaccurate. Seriously, newyorkersedai - 26/07/2011 01:44:28 AM 1020 Views
I always thought it was relatively accurate. Onarishma - 21/07/2011 11:36:41 PM 965 Views
