If the book was based in the real world than what your saying would be correct, however the book isn't set in the real world, it is set in a fictional world where "our perception of mental illness isn't applied", the in world concept of mental health issues is and i am paraphrasing, there newest concept here is "put them in a dark room". Given what i have just said it makes no sense for no one to mention/talk about Shallans deteriorating mental state. You are projecting our ideas about mental health on to characters that think completely different than us and arguing that they are/should be following our concepts rather than there own

Nope, I'm talking about her friends and husband, it's normal that they try to understand her. Furthermore, she is a Radiant, I don't think that anyone would dare to "lock her up " because of her status, and the ones who could do it are her friends. And to be honest our society sucks when it comes to our perception of mental health, it's full of stereotypes, misunderstandings and a general lack of knowledge about the subject (this post is a clear example)

As to why everyone just went along with this, I think it's the normal way to react. I think that you are harming some people with the way you are expressing yourself out of ignorance on the subject (I don't mean to insult you, everyone is ignorant in different subjects). Just as you can't make someone who is sad happy by saying "don't be sad", nothing would change if someone told Shallan "hey you totally own all your decisions and maybe we should talk about why you feel the need to create 3 separate identities". It just wouldn't make sense because what is happening to her has nothing to do with reasoning, it has to do with feelings, emotions, trauma and a very complex psychological process. So, unless they are psychologists, the best thing everyone can do is accept that she is dealing with this and support her, not question her or make her feel even more insecure about herself.

Havent tried this sort of thing in a long while, but it could be fun:

Shallan: Maisie Williams

Kaladin:  Chai Hansen

Adolin:  Nick Jonas (Only seen him act in Jumanji, but I think he could bring the right mix of charming and dim)

Renarin: Tom Holland (Best awkward teenager I can think of at the moment)

Szeth:  Lliam Devaughn Stumpf (Never heard of this guy until the OP, but he has the perfect look.  If he can pull off the emotional tension vibrating off Szeth, he'd be perfect).

Rock: Jai Courtney (I know, I know.  But if he went 120% on his Suicide Squad humor, I think it could work)

Dalinar:  Dwayne Johnson (I figure we should Cast for the Blackthorn rather than Dalinar, so even the audience defaults to him being a bloodthristy warlord at first glance. Also Keanu would need to do a lot of steroids to get the right bulk, and I dont want to put him through that at his age)

Jashan:  Adria Arjona (Go watch Good Omens, thank me later)

The Lopen: J.B. Smoove

Lift: An Unknown.  Anyone I cast now would be too old by the time production began.

wooow i love your szeth!!!

For Syl, I'd do Evanna Lynch (Purely because of looks), for Odium, Donald Sutherland might be good, mostly because he played a somewhat similar character in Hunger Games, and, come to think of it, Zac Efron could be a pretty good Moash.

yeah I can see them , I like your Syl Evanna would fit perfectly

Live action is a bit difficult because none of the races on Roshar exist in real life. The Alethi are some sort of cross between Arab, Polynesian, and Japanese, with added tallness due to higher oxygen + gravity on Roshar. Are we going to have to synthetically create actors for a Stormlight TV show? 

true... I would also enjoy an animated tv show . let's see what they do

I feel a cartoon would be the best fit. I don't think live action would do the series justice. I don't think the Szeth vs Kaladin scene could be done well in live action. 

yes i think so too, but I'd love to see a live action too with real people acting as Kal or Shallan  But you are right, the special effects needed for this show don't exist yet.

Wow I love your Adolin, but maybe he's too old. The hair is no problem if he dyes It though.

Don't worry I hope they keep progressing. Anyway, Who would you cast??

From Brandon Sanderson's website 

So, Brandon confirmed that the TV show for SA is now on stage 3 (finding a studio). Who would you like to see in the show??

I think Avan Jogia looks like Kaladin (or Luke Pasqualino) oh and Marlon Teixeira

For Shallan I'd go with Karen Gillan, Jane Levy or Sophia Lillis (she's 17 like Shallan)

I can't think of anyone for Adolin, it's soooo complicated.

william devaughn stumpf for Szeth

Jeff Bridges for Odium

What do you think?? who would you like to be Adolin, Dalinar, Syl and the others?
