| Re: Female characters really suck
Just a thought but have you considered the setting, in terms of age, of Jordan's work? I found the political power balance is suprisingly even considering.
From the way Jordan always talked about his wife Harriet I doubt VERY much that Jordan wished for his female characters to come over as opppressed or petty.
I do think that you are a little harsh on his characters, I find them interesting and sometimes dislikable but isn't that the point? you can't go through life liking everyone.
But Faery Queen, are you seriously just talking about a book or does this run a little deeper than that? are you referring to our society? |
