Mordred - and his complex personality

[Brice]

You mean you can't?

[Letti]

It would be nice to curl up in the corner of the ceiling, though.

Yeah... and to eat rats...

[CyberGhostface]

Wow, that's pretty harsh.

I can't think of anyone who brought a story down more than Mordred. Its harsh, but its true. Had Mordred never existed Book 7 would have been 25% better. Its been statistically proven by Stephen Hawking.

Here's something that should have happened in WotC. Maybe I should make a post about in another forum.

Callahan: "If you give Susannah an abortion, I will turn the town against you."

Roland: "Hey, we're here to save your ass, not the other way around. So go ahead. Turn the town against me. And if you do, don't come crying when you have no one to pull your ass out of the frying pan and the wolves burn the entire town to the ground."

Callahan: "... Alright, where's the nearest clotheshanger?"

[MonteGss]

I voted that he was born evil. He was a great character.

[LadyHitchhiker]

Liar. You wanted to make out with him and loooooove him.

He's mine, bitch! *slap*

[Storyslinger]

Pure evil, he ate a baby bumbler.

[Letti]

Pure evil, he ate a baby bumbler.

I think Roland would have eaten baby bumbler too if he hadn't found anything else.

[Storyslinger]

Atleast he would have cooked it

[Letti]

And does it make any difference, huh?

[Storyslinger]

in taste it does

[CyberGhostface]

Yeah, but somehow if Roland killed a bumbler I think he'd be more humane than disemboweling it and eating its entrails while the bumbler cries for its family...but hey, that's just my opinion.

[jayson]

yeah, he'd at least cook it

[Matt]

So its not eating something, its how you eat it?

[jayson]

or how much joy you take in the actual killing part.

[Storyslinger]

or, what you spice it with...............

nevermind

[CyberGhostface]

Eating a cheeseburger is one thing, torturing and mutilating the cow before eating it raw is another thing entirely.

[Wuducynn]

Damn, now I want some tortured cow steak...

[MonteGss]

I was just thinking how cool it would be to be a were-spider. Assuming, of course, I could be a "good" were-spider.

[LadyHitchhiker]

It would indeed be cool... to make webs, to climb walls....

A lot of people have expressed pity for Mordred, but it is hard for me to because of the grotesque image of his birth. He came into the world with a hard on, he clamped down on his mother's genitalia, and then he ate her after sucking at her bosom. Granted, I guess it could be argued that in the infant state all behavior is instinctive. As Mordred ages (rapidly), he becomes increasingly complex. I don't know...I found that he was a hard character to figure out and frustrating for me personally. He seemed to be a clear antagonist at first, and then it got confusing. He just seemed unnecessary.

I felt something very similar at the first time. I felt I would never be able to accept that character. I would never be able to get used to it...
but thank God I could.

[mia/susannah]

I felt and still feel great sympathy for Mordred. He was so lonely and angry. and filled with love and hate for Roland and his ka-tet. It was his destiny to try and destroy Roland but wonderful oy, who I still grieve, saved Rolands life.

[Letti]

I wouldn't say "full of love" but yeah... there was some love in him.

[LadyHitchhiker]

I feel pity for lots of creatures, even the undeserving.

[Empath of the White]

I started to pity him towards the end of the tale (jeez just look at my user name) and that mayhap it would take Mia and Roland to bring him to the side of the White. In fact, I've come to think that

Spoiler:

Mordred is yet another "Horn" in that his conversion to the White, or at least some measure of love from his White Father, is required for Roland to break the loop.
