Interview #204: DragonCon Report - Matt Hatch, Entry #2

Question

As a feminist, one part, the Children of the Light get my goat, make me angry. What are the Children of the Light in the story for? (paraphrased)

Robert Jordan

The Children of the Light are all of those people who say I know the truth, my truth is the only truth, you must believe my truth. You must believe my truth, if you refuse to believe my truth I will kill you. I wanted them in there because there are always people like that in any world, and they have a tendency to organize and start killing people that don’t believe what they believe, so it is really their similitude. I don’t think there can be a world without the haters. Haters exist.
