Dewicking Not So Different as it is now a disambig.


* I've always been a fan of the ''Literature/SwordOfTruth'' series, but looking back on the series, I came to a realization that (while almost certainly unintentional on Goodkind's part), adds a new dimension that the [[HateDom bashers]] might find interesting. As has been bandied about (and without getting into an argument about it), Richard's broad rationale for doing things like killing noncombatants is because they are either evil and deserve it, or are supporting evil by doing nothing to stop it. Then, we get ''Pillars Of Creation'', and a good look at what makes Jagang tick, and it turns out... ''he has the exact same rationale''. He's acting on very, ''very'' similar justification to Richard, except Jagang believes he answers to God rather than "moral clarity." While this won't erase the really dumb moments, it makes Jagang and Richard NotSoDifferent, and I think it puts a good spin on the whole thing.
