Perrin killing his wife then going off on an adventure really bothers me, even still. First off, it feels a lot like the disposable wife trope (AKA Woman in the Fridge.) Beyond that, I think the trauma of having killed your wife is so huge, the story this is telling can't realistically deal with it in a way that is responsible. I liked that idea, but didn't like it being a wife for multiple reasons. I realize that there is a good opportunity here for Perrin to be shown with rage issues, and to be afraid of the potential beast inside of him. “Biggest thing he and I disagreed on was Perrin's wife. In a long post on reddit, Sanderson writes that he disagreed with this change, as well as other changes that made the story feel more “grimdark”-a sub-genre of fantasy that Game Of Thrones would fall into, but which The Wheel Of Time does not. Apparently there’s a line in one of the books that has Perrin saying if he’d stayed in the Two Rivers a few more years he would have married Laila Dearn, and that’s where the inspiration for the character came from.
