Walter General Discussion: The Gunslinger **spoilers

[Letti]

It's a good thread. I think we should give it a more exact title, what do you think? It would be great to see many people there.

So, first of all I think Walter scared the hell out of the people in Tull. They were afraid of him and when Roland appeared... their fear and confusion became even more hysterical.
The fact that he could make Sylvia choose the red was an important point to be able to lead the people there because Sylvia was a woman who could convince and and put pressure on people. Sylvia was his puppet who did the main part of the game.

And with Alice - I think it was just some kind of really hard hypnotism. Child's play for Walter.

I think the significance of nineteen and Nort may suggest (if 19 is related to the loop) that Nort was aware of Roland's purgatory. It fits the apocalyptic imagery of the desert. Tull always seemed like the kind of town that Dante might write about. The truth drove Allie crazy.

So much religious imagery in that first book...

To Razz:All we know for certain is that she arrived in Tull from the desert. We can only specualte on exactly where she came from.

I'm pretty sure they mentioned her in Wizard and Glass.

I think the resurrection of Nort might be part of what put them on edge too.

wat.


I must've missed this part. Or was it in the revised edition.... (probably not, huh.)

Seriously, you missed that? I don't even know what to say. Are you aware that the main character is a gunslinger?

Anyway I am sure you didn't forget it but there are parts that fall out of our memory.

[obscurejude]

Just giving you a hard time Billy.

I had just forgotten, that's all. But I read through it again yesterday and remembered reading it, smart ass.

[obscurejude]

Hey, Billy, it was just a joke and I read your post at like five in the morning.

No worries.

I'm pretty sure they mentioned her in Wizard and Glass.

Spoiler:

You're right she was mentioned. I believe it was during a POV of Coral Thorin, thinking about that 'crazy preacher lady' who had passed through. She gets about our Sylvie.

Thats right, i just visited this thread to confirm that myself.

Ive almost finished WAG in my re-read.

I'm pretty sure that Walter revived Nort but hid the secret of te afterlife in his head. Then, he told Allice what the key to unlock Nort's knowledge was (19). I don't think he put a spell on Allice, I think he basically said her curiosity would get the better of her and when she realized the madness she caused, she told the Gunslinger to kill her.

Yep, in the revised version...Nort was Pandora's box.

[LadyHitchhiker]

Spoiler:

I can totally understand why Roland would be confused about Walter/Marten's identity by book two. By book two he is infected, and starting to go crazy. No wonder he's unsure about the man in black.

[LadyHitchhiker]

It's still a different thought presented to me than has ever been.

[LadyHitchhiker]

"It's not your bullets I fear, Roland. It's your idea of answers that scare me."

Is this in reference to Roland wanting to shoot Walter? Does just the idea that he thinks he can get answers by shooting Walter, is that what scares him? Or am I missing something?
