I also heart monte but sadly I disagree with you and bethany. I just feel that in no way could she have fallen for Cuthbert. It just wouldn't have happened, imo.
well said boys. I completely agree. Roland and Susan weren't your normal average 14/15 year olds. And their love wasn't a crush of some randomness. This shaped Roland and his quest for the Tower. He never would've ended up on the path he led for so long if it didn't start with Cort and Susan.

well if matthew and sarah agree, i know i'm right
Oh you all make me want to throw up!
The second Roland saw the Tower in the Grapefruit, Susan became less important to him. The Tower is Roland's true love.
Susan, yeah maybe, she could be truly in love with Roland but it wasn't a love of legend or anything near it. Which is why I still say that this silly little girl could have fallen for anyone, not just Roland.
I don't mind being the minority on this one. I still heart all of you. Well, except CK.
it has not so much to do with age as with the length of time. they weren't together long enough to forge an enduring love.

for the record, i don't like susan at all. she's a silly twit.

Monte's right guys. Roland planned on taking Susan to Gilead and letting her marry someone else after he saw the Dark Tower in the Grapefruit. That was before she was sacrificed.
dear friends: don't forget there is a specific thread where Roland-Susan little affair is discussed: Their love
obscure: I'm glad we agree again... I posted what I think on that kind of "love" here, and later in that thread, too; also there are many interesting thoughts by many people, who both agree and (mostly) disagree with this point of view

When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the redirect Jean. I'll check it out.
Yes I agree with this and the ones who said she would have fallen for Cuthbert if they met before Roland. With the ugly situation that Susan was force in, Cuthbert, Alain, or Roland would have been the one for her. Just to get out of Mejis and out from being the Mayor's gilly. Actually Cuthbert would have been better especially given his sense of humor which to me was sorely missing from R/S romance. Their love was born in gloom and they acted like it and it ended in gloom. With Bert maybe things would have been different.
I would hope I would be much more smitten with the strength of a sweet smile, and overcome my confusion, and follow the brilliant thought that this is perhaps someone I should be with, than a man I'd end up burning tied to a tree for. But hey, maybe that's just me.
