Well if the whole world depends on him seeing he's not the most important guy inthe world, it's no wonder he's going in circles.

Nothing matters at all except Roland and his need to learn that other things matter.

Do you see the problem with this?

I just couldn't because it was for me decades from existence. :lol:

To quote, then, sai -- But this isn't the introduction thread, it's the official end thread. Personally, I'm not so sure that King did mean the ending as a picture of Roland being punished, I see it...

King went out of his way to justify his work by adding the essay "On Being Nineteen" to the revision of DT1 he published after writing DT7, an essay which says that literary writers are just as...

So you're consistent. It seems that the majority favor the theory that Roland's quest is simply an unhealthy obsession, yet also disdain Susannah for not sharing it. :beat:

In general, (though...

Oh, and there's another thing that I disliked more than how Mordred turned out: Patrick Danville. ><

Agreed. I've been complaining a little about the final scene, but that is indeed a good point.
Not my own very least favorite, but I really agree with you there, too! Disappointing. <_<
Uh, kind...

I just think that he tried too hard to please everyone. A lot of people prefer what he gave us to what they figure that he could have given us; but I imagine that I still would have preferred the...

I just feel like the supposed moral of the series is self-contradictory. We're led to believe that Roland is being punished for putting self-image ahead of real philanthropy, yet at the same time,...

Spoiler warnings. All of these are about the part of the ending that you didn't read.
To answer your question: Yes, some other people have posted here about doing that, er, not doing that. Some...

This is also pretty thought-provoking in its way. I'll try to further respond later. Have you read this thread yet?

Nah. I'm just a bit more blunt about it.
No offense intended, though, and none was actually taken on my part.

these questions, really dig way deeper than merely the dark tower obviously.

the part where we all get tripped up is rooted in the human condition of having to define good and evil. yin and yang,...

Or another step forward ... there may not truly have even been any keystone tower which needed to be saved at all. :orely:

Why not? Because it would equal a waste of the precious time of us who are alive and do matter? :orely:Have you read The Colorado Kid?

Roland sets out on his quest because he believes that there...

Oh, yes, that's very true. Some had gone far beyond being "a bit of a nuisance." I don't mean to trivialize King's problems. (although there's an up-side as well + many other people also go through...

I agree. It's palpably adequate.

IMO, SK was just uptight because his chosen career is not all sunshine.

But just for the record, even though I'm not "very agnostic," I do think I'm pretty Zen.

Yar. Technically, I should have said "I'm not very close to becoming agnostic." I knew that you'd know what I meant, but on behalf of those less familiar with the subject, thanks for clarifying.
