Anyone still emotionally unsatisfied by the ending of The Dark Tower series?

I'm pretty sure Nietzsche had something to do with influencing that ending. It has the feel of the myth of Sisyphus about it don't you think? Also, don't feel so bad about it if everything is the same again then why does roland have the horn? it's supposed to be a sign that eventually he WILL break out of the cycle, probably the next go around

Okay, as someone who didn´t read alot of the Dark Tower books, I have a few questions to my fellow hypoc/lit/es:
>Why and as who is King in the books?
>Who is everyone? Are they just metaphorical, representative roles for a certain kind of character in literature?
>If the Dark Tower world is a mix of every type of story, like a Hypercrisis in world form, why is that so? If not, what is it then?
Can someone help me here out, please?

The co cept of eternal recurrence is a lot older than Nietzsche. And clearly the horn is supposed to be what makes the next cycle different, it's actually more Hegelian than Nietzschean; quantitative change yields qualitative change and vice versa.
