Bridge-Four Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 Quote "Then on that day we can embrace, knowing it is all over. Old friend.” Taravangian looked at him, and there were tears in his eyes. “To that day, then,” he whispered. Does this not strike you as the good old foreshadowing that Brandon does? Now that we know that Big T is Todium. So here is my theory- Then on that day we can embrace, knowing it is all over. Old friend 'The day we can embrace' -> The embrace could mean that Dalinar loses and becomes a Fused and becomes aware that 'it is all over' 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leuthie Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) I don't think we can look at every little interaction as foreshadowing. This was character development, pure and simple. It showed that had Taravangian made different choices, he could have found himself on Dalinar's side. We are supposed to be seeing the possibilities had T not locked himself away on his "dumb" days and relied entirely on "smart" days to make all decisions. If I remember right, this quote was Taravangian reacting to Dalinar saying that even T's genius day could be wrong (which it often was, particularly since no one is smart enough to correctly interpret everything he wrote that day). "Dumb" T reacted with tears and saying he hopes so. Even if Dalinar does become a tool of Odium, I don't see this line as being foreshadowing of that. Now, if they both die while grappling, definitely. Edited March 23, 2021 by Leuthie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And give the most scope going forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well hopefully it is, if its dragged out to the end of the book would be disappointing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
