 I think Selena whose life was lost because of Brom
Selena died
Brom was very close to her
There is no other woman related to Brom who we know to be dead
Brom had no fear of Eragon turning evil
Selena cause of death is unknown

I think she died of grief and sadness, and she couldn't run any longer so she died.

Well maybe she loved brom but because of morzan...
They couldn't be together
they did the whole
after this i can't see you again
"got together"
along came twin boys
Morzan either did or didn't know
He didn't treat Murtagh very well anyway
Brom would have lots to be mad about
Like the fact hi son had a huge scar wound down his back.

there weren't twins. Murtagh is older. and *sigh* i have said this forever... here is my boatload of evidence:
Brom said, “She was full of dignity and pride, like Garrow. Ultimately it was her downfall, but it was one of her greatest gifts nevertheless. . . . She always helped the poor and the less fortunate, no matter what her situation.” He answered to Eragon’s question, “You knew her well?”, “Well enough to miss her when she was gone.” Also, Blagden said “Son and father alike, both as blind as bats” after being asked what his first prophesy ment. This denotes that Blagden had met Eragon's father. Morzan had never gone to Ellesmera, though Brom had. On pg. 435 of Eragon, Angela saya, "He (Brom) loved a woman, but it was his affection which was her undoing."
So what happened was she was carrying Brom's child and Morzan found out. She went to Carvahall and had Eragon. She then ran off, running from Morzan, was caught, and then killed. This enraged Brom and Brom went and killed Morzan. Later, he went to Carvahall to keep an eye on his son, Eragon.
that is the lot of it. it's enough to prove it I think.

There are so many unanswered riddles in this book its overwhelming!
It seems to me there is much more to Garrow then what CP let on to the reader. Let me list them:
Garrow was a very proud man, just like Selena! Hummmm He moved into the farm house AFTER his wife died. He chose to live far away from the town of Carvahall, against all sound judgment. Why? He KNEW how to read and write. Why did he not pass on this skill to both Eragon and Roran? -he did teach them their number though! He did not doubt the "stone" was magic related.
My thoughts are: Selena was somehow involved with the recovering of Saphira’s egg. As Morzan's "personal messenger" she was privy to inside information. After realizing he never loved her, she hated Morzan for how and who he was and represented Let's list the reasons: -he wooed her into falling for him -he takes her away, but does not marry her -he teaches her some magic, not for her sake but to use her as a tool -she gets pregnant and he isolates her; again not for her protection but for his -she gives birth to her son and is separated from him by Morzan and he takes her back to his castle (you guys cannot imagine how in awe a new mother is of her child after it is held in your arms for the first time, I do I'm a Mom!) -she is allowed to see him ONLY when HE says so -he almost kills Murtagh at the age of three -he's constantly on the go on Galbatorix's instruction fighting the Varden who ARE GOOD! If these are not enough reasons to hate him and turn against him I don't know what would.
Selena at some point meets Brom. She shares her sorrows and they become fast friends. She is already convinced of Morzan's evilness and decides to kill two birds with one stone: Help the Varden and exact her revenge. She gives important information of the Empire to Brom Brom and Selena fall in love She learns more about the Varden their goal and aids as she can She becomes pregnant, again but fears for her unborn baby and "disappears" Galbatorix sends a legion of his people to find her She returns to Carvahall, has Eragon and entrusts him to Garrow; gives no details so as to protect her baby and her brother (though I believe she must have told him something and kept it to himself) She returns to Morzan's castle sick and brokenhearted, but does not know yet Morzan is dead In the meantime Morzan has been killed, and one of the eggs has been retrieved Shortly after her return, to be exact, 14 days after her return she dies.
So there it is! There is a lot more to Garrow and Selena than what CP has told us. This is what I have read “in between lines” of the story. You can agree or disagree! It’s fine by me!

i forgot about garrow....
i think that there is a bit different order to things: she is in love with Brom, and THEN she helps him get the egg. Then she runs away, then the legion, then she goes to carvahall, then she gives birth, runs, and then she goes back and is killed by Galby somehow, to make it seem like illness.
so i guess that Garrow knew about Brom's involvement, so he blames him for her death, which is why he left and went out of the village.

I tried to just jot down the ideas I had as they came in the best order possible. Count on you, IMNC to always criticize!!!!
I do not think Brom had anything to do with Selena's death. If blame was to be placed, I would place it on Morzan. It was he who made her life so miserable. And I can see Selena finding no way out of it. Maybe one of Angela's predictions pointed towards her ending; after all this was what she was told; "Only the woman agreed to it. Selena was her name. Ah, she regretted it too. Her fortune was bleak and painful. I don't think she believed it─ not at first." Eragon, 202

i was revising and correcting. not critisizing. and i said I THINK. that isn't critisizing.

u could have said that in the first place, but you ALWAYS HAVE TO CRITISIZE ME!!!

~~~~~~~~THIS POST IS OFF TOPIC!!!!~~~~~~~
LOL!!! What a COINCIDENCE!!!!!!!! I always feel you are out just to criticize and antagonize every post I make. Same thing you do to so many other people, if they don't agree with you you become very rude and ill-mannered, or you try to cram your views down people's throat. And honestly, I am sick of it, we come here to exchange ideas and thoughts, not to be pounded on for disagreeing. If you cannot understand that then you will have to face the music. I recommend you try and modify your style, it doesn't speak well of you and you won't win many
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~back on topic~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I do not believe for one moment Selena dying was through anyone's fault. One of the books underlying themes is MAKING CHOICES! To make the right choice is not always easy and by making these right choices we can encounter many hurdles along the way.
My view on Selena's death was her choice of trying to right a wrong. What consequences and effects this choice may have had over her life, remains to be seen. We will all have to grit our teeth and wait!

this is the perfect time for me to say: WHATEVER!!! and don't take what i say personally. i debate A LOT and if i disagree with something, i'll say it. so i don't say "that is my oppinion"! is that the problem???
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
i'm not saying it was anyone's fault, but that doesn't mean that Garrow can't blame someone and be resentful. he's human, and thusly suseptable to doing wrong (i'm not talking about the races in Alagaesia, just how we use it).

i think that such a thing never happened, the way i see it, Brom fought Mozan because he ran into Morzan when Brom stole Saphira's egg.

Check out page 388-9 Murtagh explains Morzan was summoned to hunt for Saphira's egg. As soon as Morzan left, so did she. Selena returned to his castle before knowing about Morzan's death. Her health then was poor and she dies 14 days afterwards. So they way I see it Brom fought Morzan , and he had many reasons to do so. If he included as him (Morzan) being what separated Brom from Selena in his long list of grievences, we do not know YET!!! Anything is possible.

ladyofthelost wrote: By the way topicstarter here Why would she want revenge? It's not polite to quote oneself, but it's too much to copy again, anyway does the following answer your question?? Hope so!!!!AnnieBee wrote: There are so many unanswered riddles in this book its overwhelming!
It seems to me there is much more to Garrow then what CP let on to the reader. Let me list them:
Garrow was a very proud man, just like Selena! Hummmm He moved into the farm house AFTER his wife died. He chose to live far away from the town of Carvahall, against all sound judgment. Why? He KNEW how to read and write. Why did he not pass on this skill to both Eragon and Roran? -he did teach them their number though! He did not doubt the "stone" was magic related.
My thoughts are: Selena was somehow involved with the recovering of Saphira’s egg. As Morzan's "personal messenger" she was privy to inside information. After realizing he never loved her, she hated Morzan for how and who he was and represented Let's list the reasons: -he wooed her into falling for him -he takes her away, but does not marry her -he teaches her some magic, not for her sake but to use her as a tool -she gets pregnant and he isolates her; again not for her protection but for his -she gives birth to her son and is separated from him by Morzan and he takes her back to his castle (you guys cannot imagine how in awe a new mother is of her child after it is held in your arms for the first time, I do I'm a Mom!) -she is allowed to see him ONLY when HE says so -he almost kills Murtagh at the age of three -he's constantly on the go on Galbatorix's instruction fighting the Varden who ARE GOOD! If these are not enough reasons to hate him and turn against him I don't know what would.
Selena at some point meets Brom. She shares her sorrows and they become fast friends. She is already convinced of Morzan's evilness and decides to kill two birds with one stone: Help the Varden and exact her revenge. She gives important information of the Empire to Brom Brom and Selena fall in love She learns more about the Varden their goal and aids as she can She becomes pregnant, again but fears for her unborn baby and "disappears" Galbatorix sends a legion of his people to find her She returns to Carvahall, has Eragon and entrusts him to Garrow; gives no details so as to protect her baby and her brother (though I believe she must have told him something and kept it to himself) She returns to Morzan's castle sick and brokenhearted, but does not know yet Morzan is dead In the meantime Morzan has been killed, and one of the eggs has been retrieved Shortly after her return, to be exact, 14 days after her return she dies.
So there it is! There is a lot more to Garrow and Selena than what CP has told us. This is what I have read “in between lines” of the story. You can agree or disagree! It’s fine by me!
Brom is dead, but Eragon is ALIVE, and he promise to avenge his death and make the Ra’zacs pay for all what they have taken away from him! Once he finds out Brom was his father he'll be implacable!!

 fear
Don't be afraid to state your opinion! First of all, Angela's fortune for Brom gives it away. Brom regrets the loss of HIS Saphira and Selena, which is too obvious!

More than that, I would say the way Brom treats Eragon in the first book, gives it away. I would explain myself, but I would be getting off topic!!!

LOL!!!! That's exactly what it means!
Maybe if we change the word order a bit....
I think Selena lost her life was because of Brom!!
I personally do not think she did. Go back to the reading of the Dragon bones Angela did for her!!

I am refering to the reading of the dragon bones Angela did to Selena. When she comments this with Eragon she mentions that her life was very sad and that she (Selena) did not believe it, at least not at first.

I do not have my book at hand, but I am almost sure Angela said nothing about her life falling apart; just that Selena did not believe her reading, " at least not at first."

Selena's life was not lost by Brom but by Morzan chasing after her.

well, it's kinda both. if she hadn't met Brom, none of it would have happened, BUT Morzan killed her, or Galby did.

Guys, we really do not KNOW THAT!! The only facts we have are:
1] Angela read the dragon bones to her---it was not a happy future or reading 2] Selena had two kids. 3] She had some trainning by Morzan and due to it, she was able to pull the "disappearing act" on the Empire 4] Gave Eragon to be raised by her brother (the reasons behind this decision are all speculations since there is no categorical evidence in the books) 5] Brom knew her "well enough to miss her when she was gone..." 6] Selena died 14 days after returning to Morzan's castle and to Murtagh.

some people just want to pin the blame on someone alive that they can take their anger out on.

A little off topic here!!
This is one of the most common shortcomings of human beings; the inability to take reasponsibilities for their own actions. Some one else needs to carry the blame!!!
Poor Brom!!!

LOL!!! As I see it, we again come to the underlying, ever present theme of the series; making choices. Selena made a choice when she fell in love with Morzan and chose to follow him. Since we are not told much of here living days, we can only speculate...

I copied this just for you!!
"My parents met in a small village, I never learned where, while my father was traveling on the king's business. Morzan showed my mother some small kindness, no doubt a ploy to gain her confidence, and when he left, she accompanied him. They traveled together for some time, and as is the nature of these things, she fell deeply in love with him." Eragon, 387-8

she ran off to avoid Eragon and herself from being killed by Morzan, seeing what Morzan did to Murgtah

Ayra may die when fighting Galbatorix! i have proof!
with the way CP put the book, i have a feeling that Eragon will lose some more loved ones/good friends, Garrow and Brom died in Eragon, Ajihad died in Eldest, they were all loved ones/good friends. Ayra prolly WILL die!
for those who don't understand my sig, for about 200 pages Ayra will be a rider, then she'll die.

AnnieBee wrote: There are so many unanswered riddles in this book its overwhelming!
It seems to me there is much more to Garrow then what CP let on to the reader. Let me list them:
Garrow was a very proud man, just like Selena! Hummmm He moved into the farm house AFTER his wife died. He chose to live far away from the town of Carvahall, against all sound judgment. Why? He KNEW how to read and write. Why did he not pass on this skill to both Eragon and Roran? -he did teach them their numbers though! He did not doubt the "stone" was magic related.
My thoughts are: Selena was somehow involved with the recovering of Saphira’s egg. As Morzan's "personal messenger" she was privy to inside information. After realizing he never loved her, she hated Morzan for how and who he was and represented Let's list the reasons: -he wooed her into falling for him -he takes her away, but does not marry her -he teaches her some magic, not for her sake but to use her as a tool -she gets pregnant and he isolates her; again not for her protection but for his -she gives birth to her son and is separated from him by Morzan and he takes her back to his castle (you guys cannot imagine how in awe a new mother is of her child after it is held in your arms for the first time, I do I'm a Mom!) -she is allowed to see him ONLY when HE says so -he almost kills Murtagh at the age of three -he's constantly on the go on Galbatorix's instruction fighting the Varden who ARE GOOD! If these are not enough reasons to hate him and turn against him I don't know what would.
Selena at some point meets Brom. She shares her sorrows and they become fast friends. She is already convinced of Morzan's evilness and decides to kill two birds with one stone: Help the Varden and exact her revenge. She gives important information of the Empire to Brom Brom and Selena fall in love She learns more about the Varden their goal and aids as she can She becomes pregnant, again but fears for her unborn baby and "disappears" Galbatorix sends a legion of his people to find her She returns to Carvahall, has Eragon and entrusts him to Garrow; gives no details so as to protect her baby and her brother (though I believe she must have told him something and kept it to himself) She returns to Morzan's castle sick and brokenhearted, but does not know yet Morzan is dead In the meantime Morzan has been killed, and one of the eggs has been retrieved Shortly after her return, to be exact, 14 days after her return she dies.
So there it is! There is a lot more to Garrow and Selena than what CP has told us. This is what I have read “in between lines” of the story. You can agree or disagree! It’s fine by me!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's a bit pretentious to quote oneself but the post is way tooooo long to copy it again. But there was a lot more than seeking safety. Could there have been some wish to revenge all Morzan's wrong doings to Selena???

yes, Selena had another baby with someone else other than Morzan, so he would kill Selena, Eragon, And Brom

We were discussing Selena's choices. As well as that it was mentioned that Selena never loved Morzan. You would have to read the previous page, starting from your post Scarecrow!

This is what Ladyofthe lost wrote:
ladyofthelost wrote: She didn't fall in love with morzan she was grateful than blinded and got pregnant
then fell in love with brom after realizing her mistake
This is what I answered:
"My parents met in a small village, I never learned where, while my father was traveling on the king's business. Morzan showed my mother some small kindness, no doubt a ploy to gain her confidence, and when he left, she accompanied him. They traveled together for some time, and as is the nature of these things, she fell deeply in love with him." Eragon, 387-8
Any other questions???

Then, IMNC, Get Well soon!
Anyway I, personally, just do not understand why Selena dying has to be someone's fault. As an individual you make choices and you have to live up to wherever or whatever those choices bring in to you. It seems so wrong to place the blame on others. But that's just me!

Well maybe she was forced, or something. She didn't really interpret for herself to die. After all she did start to run away after finding out about she having another son.

I think Scarecrow, I can partially understand what you mean. However, as it is said in the book, Selena left with Morzan because he had showed her some "small kindness." So what I interpreted was that she was impressed that such a "noble and fine gentlemen" had deigned to bestow her with his attention. So she followed him like a little puppy, later fell in love with him and the rest has been said somewhere within this topic.

That's nasty and painful at the same time. How did you get an ingrown toenail anyway?

this is kinda off topic, but i'll answer anyways: I have high arches, high insteps, and pronate. That makes you very susceptable to ingrown toenails. I had to have 4 needles to put my toe to sleep with local anethetics.

IMNC, We at Saphira Forums wish you a speedy recovery, however, can you pls PM Scarecrow with your affliction and not post it on the board? And Scarecrow can you PM IMNC with all the questions you may have on his surgery? Thanks!
BACK ON TOPIC:
Lava-Golem, I do not really think Brom was besides Selena at the time of her death. Keep in mind Murtagh tells us she died 14 days after she returned to Morzan's place. She did not even know he was dead at the time of her return. So I gather it would be difficult for Brom to be besides her when she died.

That's a quick death to a return, don't you think? I think Morzan is more to be associated with that.

Scarecrow, I am at the library and do not have my books with me, but I am positive it was something like this:
Morzan was sent to find Saphira's egg. As soon as Morzan is gone, Selena disappears. Galbatorix send his people to find her. Murtagh mentions that they probably could not find her because of the training she received form Morzan. After many months she returns, while Morzan has been killed (but neither Murtagh nor Selena know about this) upon her return. Murtagh says she returned sick and on by a "fortnight" she had died. So I personally, do not think Morzan had anything to do with her death. Many she had a bad pregnancy, or delivery, maybe she died of sadness. I have a feeling we may never know what really happened there!

a fortnight is 20 days, Annie. Maybe she WAS sick, then Galby made it seem like she was still sick, then killed her. There's always that possibility.

According to Merriam-Webster a fortnight is 14 days, (or I should say nights)
Main Entry: fort·night Pronunciation: 'fort-"nIt Function: noun Etymology: Middle English fourtenight, alteration of fourtene night, from Old English fEowertyne niht fourteen nights : a period of 14 days : two weeks
But maybe she was killed by Galbatorix; who knows? But I think something like that CP would have mentioned it somewhere, don't you think? But if that's what you picked up from the reading it's OK, maybe what I picked up was a perception as me being a woman and a mother!

but that would be a reprocussion of her romance with Brom. Galby finds out and kills her.

I guess it would all depend on the interpretation given to what Murtagh tells us; her returning ill! What kind of illness???? Maybe a curse or a spell?? IDK!!!

or Galby has her poisoned while she's being treated. that is a strong possibility.
