I've recently finished IT for the third time easily my favourite king book, if my username didn't make that obvious. The ending still managed to mess with my head a great deal. And I have two questions i would love to see get discussed.
The first would be the possibility of ITs survival, now before I go further I want to say that I do beileve that the physical form of IT is indeed dead. But the ultimate form or deadlights if you prefere are still out there buzzing insanity and gibberish. Now to fully understand this cosmic stuff I beileve is impossible for one so I can't be sure in anything I say but here we go. So the deadlights and ITs form on earth are separate yet linked. Does that mean that they are completely different entities? Or share the same mind? Like a hive mind so to speak. The form on earth is physical it has limitations, yet the deadlights are endless and basically eternal, so why at the end of the spiders life does it think it's not eternal? This hints the spider is some sort of small portion of the deadlights that gained a mind of its own but I don't think so, it often speaks as the deadlights proper, so if they kill the spider isn't that like cutting of a small limb of a much bigger creature? Putting it simply do they really "kill" it? Or do they just kill the lesser of a greater evil? And if the spider(pennywise) and the deadlights the same entity then is pennywise still practically alive?
After the events of IT it's clear the creature still to some degree holds influence over Derry this being made clear in insomnia. Now the other or if you beileve gan stepped in to help the losers battle the creature, why doesn't the turtle? It states somewhere in the book that maturin Trump's It's power but is that really the case? For Gan to have to interfere I would beileve IT to be a pretty big threat, and the creature is never really mentioned in the dark tower. The last question I have is why do the losers forget again? Is it because since they destroyed a great portion of the deadlights hold over Derry that the portions of there thought involving there fight with It die with It?
Love to hear what some of you guys think.
