Talk:Dworkin Barimen

Latest comment: 10 years ago by Svartalf

This article isn't that accurate. Some things wrong with it:

1) It was never established that Barimen was a House in Chaos. 2) The Unicorn took the Eye, not Dworkin. Presumably he met the Unicorn at the same time he found the Jewel, though that was never established firmly. From the text, he could have known the Unicorn before he got the Jewel. 3) Dworkin didn't leave at the same time the Pattern was marred. Corwin talked of him being gone since before his memory loss and stay on Earth. 4) It wasn't established that Oberon imprisoned him. Dworkin did suppose that Oberon put Wixer outside his cave to keep him away from the Pattern, but that's not strong enough evidence. Dworkin could obviously go wherever he wished at any time, and Oberon was aware of his powers so I don't think he'd put a simple creature like Wixer to stop him. Anyway, the point is: Although Dworkin said Oberon imprisoned him, much of what he said to Corwin in his cell was later cast into doubt.

Really, I think all characters besides Corwin should be put into one article. They're all rich in character, but their history ls little, and what little is subject to much debate over the authencity; especially Dworkin and Oberon. 70.128.87.49 01:59, 28 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Not to mention the inclusion of characters created by authors other than Zelazny... I'm not sure that out of canon stuff ought to be included, then again, that would mean turning the page into a stub, or deleting it altogether ... is there an actual motion to do so? --Svartalf (talk) 18:36, 31 August 2013 (UTC)Reply


"Barimen" instates retro-inserted background absent from the first tomes of Zelazny's original work. The most charitable to request of the maintainers of this page, are standards for the matching Wikipedia fork.
