Has Mat’s answer from the ‘Finns about living and dying already happened?
In the books, Mat says that he’s “Pretty Sure” that he’d already died. So use that as a guide.
A better guide might be the two Balticon reports , both of which claim RJ said the Caemlyn death fulfilled the prophecy. RJ also confirmed that Mat was only ‘almost’ dead in Rhuidean to Tim Kington in 2003 , and in 1999 in Sydney he noted that Mat hopes the prophecy was fulfilled in Rhuidean (because he doesn’t remember dying in Caemlyn).
Wasn’t that fulfilled when he was hung from Avendesora ?
That’s what I’m wondering, whether that was it or not.
But I thought Mat DIDN’T die when he got hung, just came really close …
Mat died and then Rand used balefire and turned back time.
Right *facepalm* I don’t know how I forgot that.
If he had actually died when he was hung, Rand wouldn’t have been able to bring him back. (i.e.: crazy puppet girl in the Stone)
Re: Another Mat being hung confirmation. Like I said, Mat’s pretty sure that counted for him dying. He really doesn’t want to try anything like that again…
Brandon has consistently presented a “confused” front on this issue; he was still doing it in 2011 . Most likely he is trying to be clever about it, maybe playing on RJ’s 2009 interview, but all it does is stir up the fans who happen to know what RJ said about it (which is a good number of them; it’s common knowledge).
