There, where he is akin to a God, he had the power to free himself of it, especially since doing so was being true to himself, his values and his feelingsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754252351102501745.post-26174425756995439032014-01-28T09:00:07.545-05:002014-01-28T09:00:07.545-05:00just discovered your blog and enjoying very much.....just discovered your blog and enjoying very much... did anyone else think of slayer as a massive tragedy though? I mean Slayer is a melding of two innocent souls... Luc,(Rand's uncle) and Isam (Lan's little brother). It's extremely saddening that the Dark One corrupted two souls that could have been a positive influence on the world.

It's refreshing.<br /><br />Great points about Gaul; I had forgotten that she said it would be pivotal. But wow; Gaul really turned out awesome. I'm glad Perrin got back in time. (And I agree; it serves Slayer right for killing Hopper!)<br /><br />I think Faile deserved to live, though. She's tough; she's been through the ringer already. And she was always willing to serve where she was needed, whether it was fighting or leading. Plus, Saldaea needs her, even if she doesn't take the throne.<br /><br />And yay Olver!

It still fits in with your theory, as those strong emotions you discuss are such an ingrained part of Perrin's and Ituralde's identities that they are able to resist the Compulsion that is clearly at odds with who they are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
