Yes he does - but I think that is as much a symptom of his illness (which is weaved into the Land's own suffering). And for this reason, I've always viewed Covenant as Donaldson's attempt to write something akin to Hamlet set in a fantasy world.
The names do seem a bit naff at first but that soon wears off if you start to enjoy the story.
Certainly not everyone's cup of tea but good debating material
