The puzzle of the White Tower
The 'White Tower' is portrayed as a pictogram of authority. The reader realizes that Elaida is resolute to bring Rand Al'Thor under the control of the White Tower. Incongruously, the rebellious group sets a 'Little Tower' in the Forbidden City to capture the White Tower. Consequently, the reader finds it ironic that some section of the people under the leadership of Elaida wants to bring down the White Tower.
The Irony of Sanche
The paradox of Sanche is that after she is overthrown, she wants to become the leader of the rebellion. Accompanied by her friends, Sanche sets her journey to the hidden city to seek the seat of the insurgence. The reader finds it sardonic that Sanche is hateful and her primary purpose in life is to frustrate Elaida.
The satire of Rahvin
Rahvin is a satirical character in most aspects of his life. According to Rahvin, the only way to seize power is through murder. When Rahvin manages to kill Queen Morgase, he reigns and declares himself a leader. When Rand hears what has transpired, he organizes his men and defeats Rahvin.
Rand Al’Thor
Rand Al'Thor is an authoritative man recognized as the ‘Chief of Chiefs,’ and he leads several clans. Rand intends to control more clans to increase his power against his enemies. The Nobles welcome Rand because of his influence and invite him to take the throne of Cairhien. Ironically, Rand declines the offer and argues that the throne offered to him belonged to Trakand.
