most beautiful one...

[Marie 73]

Cadsuane doesn't have wrinkles, and it's only her hair that shows age. If she wasn't bound by the Oath Rod, she'd look around 30.

 

*huggles Fenix* You make very good points.

[Kaitlin 22]

Caddy just seems like she'd look old, cause she's got that caustic attitude.

 

*thinks Galad is actually the most lovely*

[Marie 73]

She doesn't seem old to me! I guess it depends on how you view her: a mean aunt who beats you or a mean grandma who beats you.

[Sivart Reborn 7]

I vote Grandma.

[Olivia 26]

I vote great-grandmother.

 

The one that rides their married children and their in-laws mercilessly and threatens/guilts them into fulfulling her whims and doesn't leave anything to her family, but to some charity so that people will attend her funeral and she will get a special cheap brass plaque on her grave.

 

And, no, Ladies and Gentlemen, I have not experienced this personally. I just don't like Cadusane. At. All. Ever.

-Rant!

 

I didn't like Caddy at first.

 

But, when I grew up a little I began to understand why she does the things she does in the particular way she does them. She really hasn't done anything terrible to Rand. She treated the other Aes Sedai like silly children because, for some, they were acting like children.

 

She's not trying to demean the people around her until they feel like tiny little bugs.. she's trying to get them to step up. And, like it or not Rand needs someone like Cad not to baby him right now in the books. Who cares if she hurts some poor Aes Sedai's precious feelings.. especially if they're possible BA. She's trying to help Rand just as much as Momo, but in a different way. She's trying to save his mind. We might not like that old grandma or aunt that pushes us to change. Would we change without her? It might not be too terrible if we don't, but it would be if Rand doesn't. /Rant

 

I may tease about Cad, but she's a good one in my estimate.

[Cerendrallion 32]

I like Cadsuane. But I think she may have been caught in my 'I-hate-Rand' glow...anyone who doesn't bow down to Rand is good in my estimation. And its nice to have a strong woman around...in WoT it seems to me RJ tends to enjoy breaking his strong women.

[Olivia 26]

She is without a doubt a strong woman. And I understand Kaitlin's points as well. She isn't evil or cruel exactly. Just very not likeable or comfortable to be around/read about.

Another very good point. The strong women become weak and subservient also in a few cases, mostly for the same reason: love for some guy who manages to retain his normal personality and strength very upsetting at times, the WoT books are.

Yes, maybe that's another reason why I started liking Cad more. ^^

[Ekho 52]

I like Cadsuane, she is one of the few characters that treats Rand like the little boy he is, something I think more characters should do;)

[Marie 73]

Caddy is my hero. Her slapping Rand sealed the deal for me.

So true. I always liked Caddy because she calls a spade a spade. Sometimes she calls just about everything a spade, but heck, no one's perfect!

Momo is perfect. Practically Perfect in Every Way.

 

I bet Caddy is actually very lovely in a Katharine Hepburn sort of way.

[Ekho 52]

*nods* Yes moiraine is most definetly perfect

 

Now that you mention it Katherine Hepburn does resemble the Cadsuane I imagine...I never realised that before

[Kaitlin 22]

Except Cadsuane may be even more tough.
