The Castle of Llyr: Fifth Post (Final Thoughts)
Eilonwy stands up for herself quite a bit at the end, but I wonder how much the men really learn from it. After everything, Taran still assumes she will allow herself to be married off to Prince Rhun. Why does he assume that? She’s a very independent young woman who has never allowed herself to be bossed around in important things before, so why would she just let someone else tell her who to marry? It makes no sense.
