-Deleted- Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Not so much a theory, but Cosmere-related. There's just these couple of recurring things I noticed in the Cosmere novels that are minor, but thought were cute and I'm not even sure if Sanderson knows he's doing it. Actually, I hope you don't read this Sanderson, because I love these things and wouldn't want you to become too conscious and stop them lol. NOT: THERE ARE SPOILERS BELOW TO A NUMBER OF BOOKS Anyway, this is what they are: Each female lead in each of the Cosmere stories is on a trip of betrothal. Excepting Vin, this is true: -Serene going to Raodan (Elantris) -Vivienna to the god-king (Warbreaker) -Shallan to Adolin (Words of Radiance) I am nicknaming this the Betrothal Cosmere Trope. The second one is: Most stories so far ends with a character becoming a literal giant -Sazed breaking out of the cell (Hero of Ages) -Shai escaping the monsters (Emperor's Soul) -Vasher becoming Warbreaker (Warbreaker) -The uncle turning out to be the pirate-barbarian (Elantris; not so much literal) I call it the Hulk Cosmere Trope. Just thought I'd share this. I think it's awesome. 2
