Yes; he grew beyond "I can ignore the rules and everyone must obey me because I know best." Joel Send a noteboard - 30/08/2013 06:18:22 AM

View original postHe clearly went the opposite way.

Before Egwene, actually, though less completely, else he would not have used the Bloodknife rings and gone haring off to "save" Egwene by being killed. He did, however, eventually realize duty does not mean telling ones chosen superiors how one will serve them (and when one will defiantly disobey them.)

I read somewhere one should hope for the best but prepare for the worst. Joel - 29/08/2013 10:18:18 AM 1300 Views
Gawyn matured? Fanatic-Templar - 30/08/2013 05:05:11 AM 1076 Views

Because that's clearly Egwene's job, and there wasn't room for two of them in that relationship *NM* ßelals Girl - 30/08/2013 02:01:53 PM 563 Views
Essentially; maybe he did not so much mature as bow to the absurd. Joel - 30/08/2013 03:35:51 PM 1108 Views
That was never an issue. Fanatic-Templar - 30/08/2013 05:19:43 PM 1354 Views
I cannot decide whether I agree or not. Joel - 02/09/2013 05:47:39 AM 1219 Views
And his character...development, for lack of a better word...in ToM appeared forgotten in aMoL Cannoli - 05/09/2013 01:01:06 AM 1188 Views
Maybe death was a release from having to carry self-important harridans on their quests for power Cannoli - 05/09/2013 01:10:41 AM 1223 Views
Maybe Joel - 05/09/2013 01:39:10 AM 1164 Views
That's one opinion... fionwe1987 - 04/09/2013 06:06:15 PM 1148 Views
Her death is a matter of fact, or fictional fact anyway. Joel - 04/09/2013 09:25:30 PM 1132 Views
That wasn't what you predicted, though... fionwe1987 - 05/09/2013 02:49:06 AM 1088 Views
Was her death not redemptive? Did she not admit Rand was right about the Seals? Joel - 05/09/2013 04:02:09 AM 1090 Views

Wow, you predicted a plot progression in a predictable and completely worthless series of books. Tom - 05/09/2013 04:08:38 AM 1065 Views
Doubtless his middle school English teacher would be proud. *NM* Larry - 05/09/2013 04:11:12 AM 1004 Views
Hey, c'mon, without the The Wheel of Time ya'll could not be here gracing us with your erudition. Joel - 05/09/2013 04:41:46 AM 1047 Views
Y'all, Texan, y'all. Not a badly constructed contraction of "you will". Sheesh. Larry - 05/09/2013 05:01:19 AM 1514 Views
Numerous sources attest to "ya'll" in both Faulkner and Hemingway. Joel - 05/09/2013 05:36:31 AM 1170 Views
Yes, and Faulkner in particular was known for his non-orthodox orthography Larry - 05/09/2013 07:17:47 AM 1626 Views
"Non-orthodox" is a somewhat unorthodox spelling as well; does that invalidate it? Joel - 05/09/2013 11:05:57 PM 1562 Views
No, that was a late night spelling mistake - unorthodox is what I meant Larry - 07/09/2013 08:42:12 AM 1805 Views
It is not worthless, and that particular progression was not predictable enough for anyone else. Joel - 05/09/2013 04:34:11 AM 1078 Views
I recall not caring about camps, or Jordan generally. Tom - 05/09/2013 03:06:43 PM 1037 Views
Yet here we are. Joel - 05/09/2013 10:56:31 PM 1205 Views
I just check this board in hopes there will be an announcement that it will be closed. *NM* Tom - 07/09/2013 02:16:12 AM 522 Views
Same here, except it applies to the rest of the site as well. *NM* Larry - 07/09/2013 08:42:41 AM 890 Views
Pretty edgy for a Bush League Pedant. Dan - 14/09/2013 02:04:32 PM 1290 Views
Nah, I cannot quite be the asshole to your santorum, alas! Larry - 14/09/2013 06:02:41 PM 1594 Views
Ha! Dan - 22/09/2013 02:25:18 AM 1189 Views
