I suppose 'respect' is the closest emotion considering his character growth throughout the first three books. The Roland who shoots down Tull and the Roland who rescues Jake from Lud are almost two different people.

A hound will die for you, but never lie to you. And he'll look you straight in the face.

What CypberGhostFace said. And, I have a lot of respect for Roland's tenacity and resourcefulness.
"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
I voted 'respect' in the end - but 'Amazement' was close & 'Love' was probably damn close too.
Hard to vote - which means it's a good poll.
like last time, I voted "love" without hesitation, although I see your point, too.Originally Posted by ManOfWesternesse
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Only thing that amazes me about roland, is why people like him
So, earthlings..basically urm...end of the world...Here Come The Drums!
Like and love is, well, different. It's like in Doctor Dolittle, when his daughter says, "Daddy, you don't like me!" He says, silly, I love you. She says, I know you love me. I said you didn't like me.
Well, there's a lot about Roland I don't like, but for this mixture of amazement, awe, gratitude, pity (thank you Nikolett for that option), respect, and shock I feel I can't find a better word than love.

Altou I'm torn between Respect and Amazement, I went for amazement. He's truly a great person that continues to amaze me, because I am amazed of him and his abilities and his respect towards others(as long as they don't ruin his quest for the DT.)
P.S. I'm still not done with the books, so it might change.

That is an excellent point Ghostface. In an even shorter time span, just look at the growth from the Roland who dropped Jake into the abyss and the one who saved him in Lud. Roland's personal growth is what makes him such an intriguing character. After the first book, I'd have said I despised Roland for dropping Jake, but he redeemed himself in Lud. As for Tull, while it was a massacre, Roland had little choice. Kill or be killed.
thanks
Roland would have understood.
All Letti's posts are great!

"Roland and You" the new sitcom coming out this spring only on ABC.
"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
It stars Roland Deschain and Los the Red as two wild & crazy bachelors who hate one another but must work together to raise their son Mordred. Hell, it's already a better premise than Cavemen.

Don't even need the writer's strike to end for CK's dialogue... "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!"
