Doesn't Gawyn more or less say outright that the real reason he was so against Rand that he was jealous that some peasant got to be the hero the world was looking to, and he got to be some nobody?

He does, in fact, say that outright! A real winner, that one!

Not just that, but I recall Gawyn having trouble swallowing the idea that he would have to play second fiddle to Egwene.

. . . after being raised his whole life on the understanding that he would be playing second fiddle to his sister.

. . . which I could understand if his issue revolved around "but I'm supposed to serve Elayne, not you," but it doesn't. He basically ignores Elayne.

Worst. First. Prince. of. the. Sword. Ever.

I feel like we could write a treatise entitled Gawyn Trakand: He’s Not Morally Gray, He Just Sucks.
