Hooray for English majors. I'm and English Lit. undergrad right now. I would like to read your paper when you are finished if you wouldn't mind sharing it.
There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.
I was an English minor in college, with a concentration in American lit. I actually did do a twenty page paper on Stephen King for a seminar I was enrolled in during my senior year. It was a comparative research paper into gothic literature with a lot of comparisons to writers like Hawthorne and Poe, with an accompanying oral presentation. I don't think I even mentioned The Dark Tower, although I could be mistaken. I'll have to go and check.
This sounds like fun though.
Tell us how it works out, Robin.
Speaking as another English major, I'd like to read that paper, too.
"People, especially children, aren't measured by their IQ. What's important about them is whether they're good or bad, and these children are bad." ~ Alan Bernard
"You needn't die happy when your day comes, but you must die satisfied, for you have lived your life from beginning to end and ka is always served." ~ Roland Deschain
Same here. Sounds great.
"It's his eyes, Roland thought. They were wide and terrible, the eyes of a dragon in human form" - Roland seeing the Crimson King for the first time.
"When the King comes and the Tower falls, sai, all such pretty things as yours will be broken. Then there will be darkness and nothing but the howl of Discordia and the cries of the can toi" - From Song of Susannah
In the beginning of Drawing of the Three. Is Roland actually INSIDE eddie or is he just watching him invisible. And where exactly are they? A BAR?
Eddie is on an airplane. Roland finds a door on the beach titled "The Prisoner". When he opens it, he can see through Eddie's eyes. When he steps through the door, he enters Eddie's body and can control his movements.
I am Daenerys Stormborn and I will take what is mine. With fire and blood.
Yes, I believe Roland is actually "inside" of Eddie like a person who needs to be exorcised.
As strange as that is, King really makes it work for the purpose. Makes it believable.
It's peanut butter jelly time!
Oh shit!
I understand now! Thanks!
Whats up with all the drugs and stuff then?
If you're in the middle of a chapter, finish it. It'll all become clear, my friend.
Plus, I dont want to spoil anything.
Yer bob, Roland is inside Eddie and looking through his eyes.
Eddie's running drugs for a local drug dealer. If you're not there already, keep reading, it's about to get real good.
alright haha thanks a lot. I jsut felt completely lost....like I missed something. Thanks.
Roland's conciousness is inside of Eddie, his body is is not. His body remains next to the door.
I would like to read your paper as well.
Fuck if I know..my idea is that its shifting between realities. What do you all think?

It looks like it would make a great candy bar name
I believe it is meant to imply that he uses magic to move about.
Dark magic.
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
Yeah, "TRY THE NEW DARKLE AND TINCT BAR, AND SEE THE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF THE DARK TOWER!!"

"When the King comes and the Tower falls, sai, all such pretty things as yours will be broken. Then there will be darkness and nothing but the howl of Discordia and the cries of the can toi" - From Song of Susannah
My interpretation has always been that darkle and tinct mean the ability to shift between the various dimensions and times at will.

Think about it, the two characters it is used in reference to are Roland and Los. These are the two we all seem to agree are singular entities, without twinners, able to move between worlds as themselves and by their own doing in most cases. I think the phrase describes this nature.
