Have we seen the last of his axe? maybe not. We certainly haven't seen the last of war or the killing Perrin will have to do.<br /><br />I see what you mean about Tam. Others soon copied Luca, but the Two Rivers shouldn't have heard about them yet.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14767984732078916662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-9979737499079188672010-07-16T13:31:00.726-04:002010-07-16T13:31:00.726-04:00Nice article.

I think you hit the nail directly on the head with Perrin. <br /><br />People have a tendency to blame Faile for Perrin's descent into melancholy (and becoming boring as a result). Yet that melancholy is truly due to his inability to come to term with his violent streak and his unwillingness to lead. We see this in Perrin's thoughts in tGS and it gives me some hope for ToM. <br /><br />As a side note, there is a dream of Perrin throwing away his axe and it chasing him. That probably means that he tried to throw away his anger but failed. We see that in Malden in KoD. I wonder if the axe will chase him in a more literal sense as well. Elayas could have picked it up for him.<br /><br />As even more of a side note Tam's quote about the menagerie confused me since having performers in a menagerie is a new thing that Tam probably shouldn't have run across. (Valan Luca mentions to Elayne that his menagerie is something new in tFoH I think.) I would think that Tam would have used the phrase gleeman instead. Unless Perrin ran across Valan Luca's menagerie that is.RabidWombatnoreply@blogger.com
