If you're walking southeast, the setting sun would not be to your left. How can the Mohaine Desert be to the east and west of Gilead unless it wraps around the south side of the region in a half circle and is huge?Īdditionally, while Roland and Jake are crossing the desert along there southeast course, there is a reference made to the setting sun off to their left turning every sweat tear into a painful prism. Yet, on his southeastern route from Gilead in Book 1, he crossed the Mohaine Desert to get to the mountains while chasing the Man in Black. In fact, it's when he is describing the possibility of being sent west if he fails to best Cort, that he describes what lies to the west, and the Mohaine Desert is listed among those things that lie to the west. It is also noted at the end of Book 1 that he has just crossed the Mohaine Desert, which is also odd, because earlier in Book 1, there is a reference made that the Mohaine Desert is west of Gilead, where Roland grew up. His southeastern route is referenced to more than once during the story. In Book 1: The Gunslinger, Roland, is on a southeast course after the Man in Black. My question is this Why does the sense of cardinal direction seem to be all messed up in these two books? Here's what I mean. I have a question about the Dark Tower series, which mainly ties into books I and II.
Otherwise, I am hoping someone can offer an intelligent explanation for me If this has been discussed before, please point me to the thread or URL.
