Ancestor said:Maybe I misunderstood you (and I don't mean to take part of your quote out of context, I just boiled it down to this part for clarity) butI never thought The Boss ever tried to get Snake to leave. She couldn't have accomplished her mission if he had (getting her life ended by her most beloved disciple, the last part of the final mission the Patriots gave her). I always viewed it as The Boss doing what she felt like she had to do to egg him on, as well as keep up the appearance that she actually had defected. I don't think she ever did any of that with the intent of making him leave.
At first I do think she wanted him out of there. At the start of the Operation Snake Eater mission she tries to get him to leave. I'm not sure if she thoguht at that point that he was really capable of handeling a situation like that and she wanted to protect him from it. As it went on and he kept coming back beating after beating she seemed to start to realise that he did have what it took but knew she had to keep going on with her same gameplan to keep everyone from catching onto her. From what we saw she seemed smart enough to come up with a plan with or without Snake being there.
