Oh, no, of course she considered them mostly like something filthy, yet that "unbeliever" is too much about faith and she never expressed that obsession with 'righteousness' in any other scene, even her POVs.<br />I would rather interpret her choice of words not as her being some sort of a raging zealot, but as an example of how first sketches of the characters may differ from the later 'canonical' picture.<br />I mean, it's just the page earlier she is described as "a woman in deep green silk".<br />Elaida, in deep green... the woman was perfectly not herself that day.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03483812002813419111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-35499172187527582262010-01-08T06:55:47.247-05:002010-01-08T06:55:47.247-05:00I agree that there is a distinct possibility that ...I agree that there is a distinct possibility that Reds will become something like police. (The Aiel use red to symbolise police - Red Shields).<br /><br />It's sad that Pevara, who has always really wanted this role, is not there at the Tower, but mired at the Black Tower.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14767984732078916662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833204375789249557.post-66733997069780995732010-01-06T20:09:33.128-05:002010-01-06T20:09:33.128-05:00Thank you for a very informative article.
Of cour...Thank you for a very informative article.<br /><br />Of course, we can only speculate at this point about the new purpose that Egwene has in mind for the Red. However, we should bear in mind that the Reds, in essence, have been hunters, and hunters of a very particular quarry - those who can channel, and who are viewed by many as having abandoned the Light.<br /><br />It would be very logical for the Reds to become hunters of those channellers who have abandoned the Light in truth: the Black Ajah, Darkfriends in the Black Tower, Dreadlords, etc.<br /><br />We'll have to read and find out, but I look for the Reds to be reinvented as hunters of Darkfriends, and in particular the Black Ajah and other Darkfriends who can channel - a role of great importance and honor which I can easily see the Reds embracing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
