Part 4′s discussion can be found on Diary of an Eccentric.
Today, we’re taking a look at Part 5: The Ritual of Chud, the last interlude, and the epilogue.
1. Of the seven in the gang of Losers, which character do you believe is the direct opposite to the evil of IT and why?
2. At one point, Eddie talks about how he loves Bill and that Bill is loved, but wonders if that is too much power to have. What do you think he meant by that? And do you agree?
3. Forgetting is a theme in the novel, why do you think these characters forget or begin to forget once It has receded?
4. The turtle shows up in this section, but what is the turtle? theories about its purpose?
5. What are your final impressions of IT? Would you read another Stephen King book?
Please leave your comments below. We can’t wait to hear what you have to say about the final scenes.
