	Robert Jordan (character) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Robert Jordan is the name of the main character in For Whom the Bell Tolls, a book by Ernest Hemingway.
		Robert Jordan seems a little older than Frederic Henry, he already is an instructor and came to Spain first in 1925, so he is about 30, Henry is still studying.
		But on the other hand, he can't be like Robert Jordan, whose single-minded illusions about the strength of their enemies, about the possibility of a victory, about sacrifice, and about the justness of the cause appear very naïve.

	Abbyland - [ROBERT JORDAN: GENIUS OR HACK?] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Some view the female characters as being so strong that they believe Robert Jordan is actually a woman writing under a pen name; others say the women inhabitants of Randland (as fans refer to it) are dull caricatures of feminist extremists.
		His male characters are equally strong, and it seems that his world is on the cusp of an era where balance will be restored, and men will reestablish their equality with women.
		It is true that Jordan's characters undergo slow changes, and yes, the first half of the first volume has a labored beginning, but by the end, it is just about impossible to resist the second book.

		Robert Jordan: You've heard this before, guys, and now you're going to hear it again: I absolutely guarantee that the next book will be on the shelves, in the stores, very shortly after I finish writing it.
		Robert Jordan: My favorite character is always who I'm writing at the moment, whether it's one of the good guys or one of the villains, because if I don't like that character more than any other, the character will not come across as real.
		Robert Jordan: Many years ago, when I was young, I smoked cigarettes and I decided to quit smoking cigarettes about 35 years ago, I guess.

	SparkNotes: For Whom The Bell Tolls: Chapters Three–Seven
		Robert Jordan watches a sentry on the bridge through binoculars and notes that he has a “peasant face.” Fascist planes fly overhead, but Robert Jordan lets Anselmo think that they are Republican planes.
		Robert Jordan, in particular, conforms to a character type that recurs throughout Hemingway’s novels—a character commonly referred to as the “code hero” because he follows the Hemingway moral code.
		Robert Jordan’s appreciation for nature and physical experiences—the smell of the pine trees, the taste of absinthe that evokes Paris, his coupling with Maria—indicates that he fits the code hero type, at least to some degree.

	SparkNotes: For Whom The Bell Tolls: Chapters Eighteen–Twenty
		Robert Jordan feels that his confrontations with Pablo recur as though they were on a merry-go-round.
		Robert Jordan was rude when Mitchell asked for information about the war because Mitchell, busy with his theories far from the difficult physical realities of the war, couldn’t possibly have had any conception of what the true experience of the war was like.
		In contrast, Robert Jordan, just before the conversation with Mitchell, had abandoned one dead man in order to save another wounded man. The contrast between Robert Jordan’s competent actions backed by difficult moral decisions—abandoning one man’s body in order to help another—and the economist’s detached, academic interest is jarring.

	Characters in Absentia
		Thus, if Tom is a supporting character who appears in 50% of the scenes, and the supporting characters Dick and Harry only appear in 10% of the scenes, it's reasonable to assume that Tom is a more important figure in the story.
		These truant characters remain central to the plot and actively involved, and their contributions are every bit as significant as those of the main character.
		Second, although the missing character might not be physically present in a scene, you can still include his nonphysical presence via the thoughts, speech, and actions of the other characters who are present.

		Jordan long ago proved himself a master at world-building, with fascinating characters, a positively delicious backstory, and enough plot and politics to choke a Trolloc, but that same strength has become a liability.
		Jordan can always be counted to ground his dizzying intrigues in solid chunks of cultural detail, and he here rises to the occasion, with chapters as dense as Spenserian stanzas with symbols and rituals.
		In separating the many major characters, Jordan has clearly delineated the emerging differences in their personalities, and while they do at times seem a reflection of each other, nonetheless clear changes and development of character are taking place.

		Characters were spread all over the world, nations were disentegrating, and subplots were spinning out of control.
		Two of the supporting characters, Min (one of Rand's lovers) and Egwene (who has become a major character in her own right) have prophetic visions and dreams, and prophecy turns up in many other places in the books.
		Jordan seems to have calmed down a little from the excitement of a guaranteed bestseller and gotten back to what he was doing in the first place, which is telling a story.

		Jordan has created so many irrelevant plotlines and characters from the sixth book onwards that even with a workmanlike effort to clean up here the mess is still very much present.
		While Jordan and his editor state unequivocally that this will be finished in one more book (thankfully planned to be completed before any more prequels), all the new material he's added makes this doubtful and is now standing directly in the way of a great wrapup.
		Jordan's goal was to have fans sweating by the end of the book; for me, I didn't get there as this doesn't qualify as a cliffhanger by any means.

		Jordan has created a world that is unforgettable, a cast as varied and diverse as his mythological landscape, and a story that can only be hailed as monumental.
		Granted, Jordan's writing occasionally has its flaws - the heroines are at times too similar and adolescent in character - but he is a master storyteller, and, to date, no one equals his work either in sheer scale or intricacy of story.
