but they're not all from one small village. all jordan's women are fairly interchangable, the asme basic design with different name and likes and dislikes

its hard to explain what makes a character more vivid, but it is certainly more than appearance. i think a way of reacting to issues, certain behavioural patterns, that makes characters seem different. and that's what jordan seems to lack. his women are bossy, patronising, conceited, full of their own self worth. there isn't a lot of variety in those sorts of traits. and women from that village, and women who've been aes sedai for years, and women who are royal (elayne) all seem to act and think the same way. its as though having boobs has made their brains all work the same!

pretty crazy really.
