So finally the climax of the story has begun when Flagg has discovered something is going on and he decides to check up on Peter. We feel suspense when Flagg knocks down the door and screams "Here I come dear Peter. To chop off your head." We know that Peter is trying his best to secure his knot for his napkin but unfortunately we also know that, yes the napkins were strong enough when Peter tested a short rope, but we also know that as the weight is spread through out a longer rope the rope will break. We want Peter to make it out alive but while we are wondering about the strength of the napkins, we are also curious as to if he will make it out before Flagg kills him. We become right in both cases. Flagg does come up but decides to allow Peter to be the cause of his own death. The rope made with his napkins, that I have declared as symbolic of his mother, does break, but his fall is cushioned by a pile of the napkins Dennis, Ben, and Naomi created for him. Peters mother was there supporting him the whole time and keeping him "alive". I am declaring the theme of this book to be "stay true to yourself, and let your character determine your faith". Peters good moral standings and great character allowed others to have faith in him and understand that he is not the killer. FLagg got exactly what he deserved and the "good man" came out on top.
