Is Szeth a coward or the most honorable man on Roshar? I think Kaladin didn't have the full picture when calling him a coward. Szeth feels the agony of every kill he has done, proven by his madman eyes and clenched teeth as well as his conversation with Dalanar. Yet, he goes on and kills because that is what he is told to do. Personally I think Szeth is as far from a coward as possible.
