I am not into comics at all but now you made me curious about this one. :)

That's why I say that death (and maybe only death) is salvation for Roland. And one happy and relived sigh before he reaches the end of the path.

Interesting. Peace of the soul? Peace with all your sins? So Roland's salvation at the top of the tower would be death, and rest? Or just the simple knowledge that he has been true?[/QUOTE]

Lots...

Why would salvation be this perfect? I don't think salvation means "happy ending". I feel salvation offers very little... a little (but very valuable) peace to your soul... a happy sigh at the end of...

But he couldn't express his feelings, could he? ;)

I think he did love his mother and he could forgive her but not as a child. He needed more time but I think the Gunslinger we met in the desert had forgiven her.

He had never told the story of the lost belt. Or it wasn't written down in the series.
I don't think it could help Roland any way to get out of the loop but the idea is interesting. Why do you think...

I think Mordred was damned from the very beginning. He was so lost in the world... he didn't belong to anyone. I am not sure at all that he would have freed the CK. Certainly we can have just guesses...

I don't think they can bring down the Tower at all. CK gets a prisoner on the balcony forever and Mordred dies alone somewhere no one can see him. It's just a sudden version that came to my mind but...

As I have said I am with Matt that he must cry off the obsession. Now it's even clearer in my mind how it could happen or it's the only way I can imagine it happening.
Roland does reach the Tower...

I don't think that death is the salvation because for my part I am sure that Roland can die anytime during the loop.

exactly
To be able to cry off.
What comes after that... that's another good question.

Razz, if you don't mind I will move this thread to DT7 section. It fits there a lot.
When I get home I will try to write down my thoughts about the question, too.

Ohhh... thank you, my friends. :rose:

If his loop and chasing could end at that very door (or at the other side of that door) he would open it and he would find millions of roses, that sing his name "Roland, gunslinger". But there...

You foxy lady...

The way I see it whenever he reaches the door whenever he climps up the Tower the loop will restart. He can do anything... he must give up the Tower to reach the clearing. He must choose something...
