Rand al’Thor (The Wheel of Time) - A Character Examination

he's kind of a placeholder for the reader so that we can see the world and kind of learn about it well he learns about it and what this results in is actually a not super deep character to start with but has so much potential to become what he becomes down the road

especially in the great hunt and a little bit in the eye of the world we see a Rand who his biggest enemy isn't the dark one it's destiny he wants nothing more than to flee the fate ahead of him he's trying so hard to reject what everyone else is saying is inevitable
