Something i found interesting in "Till We Have Faces." During the later part of the book, when O becomes queen, she is almost a completely different person. Ok not almost, she is a completely different person. I'm not gonna lie, I like her as queen a lot more than I liked O. The queen looks out for her country and does a lot of good. and you know shes a ton better than her old man. does the veil have something to do with this transformation? or did she simply grow up when given a new responsiblity?

It seemed to me that the psyche incident had a huge role in Orual's transformation. She had already demonstrated responsability and disernment before she became queen. She essentially parented psyche herself. I belief the grief, frustration, and shame that arose from her impetuous actions on the night she returned to the mountain to confront psyche submerged the sort of skulking,insular, and introverted person she was before.
