ok I am on WH right now for the first time. I have not read to book 11 but. Cadsuane ssays that she must teach Rand laighter and tears if he is to have a hope of winning TG basically, correct?

 

What does LTT do all day in rands head? Laugh and Cry? Perhaps Cadsuanes goal is to drive Rand completely and utterly BONKERS before TG...

She wants to make him human again. He doesn't feel anything anymore, except a certain amount of love for his girls. Nothing else. There is an example in WH, but I won't say what it is in case you haven't gotten to it :)

 

Now...so far all Caddy has succeeded in doing is annoying Rand, but that isn't her goal ;)

oh, well I know that we interpret her as wanting to mak him more himan again, but that is still an interpretation, perhaps we have interpreted it wrong...

No, we really haven't. Keep reading.

Wasn't that the gist of the conversation between Cad and Verin, that made the Plump Sparrow decide not to off Caddy. He's already read it.
