Roland's unwinding is a defining part of the novel. His unwinding is the first time that the reader finds out what the unwinding process is like for the children instead of just hearing about it. His unwinding is one of the clearest example of murder in the whole novel because the unwinding starts off with Roland being unable to leave, forcing him to be unwound against his will. Secondly, the doctors shift in teams as they take apart his body piece by piece. Although Roland clearly wants the doctors to stop, he is slowly losing his identity as he loses each part of his body. The nurse acts as if she understand Roland's pain by "comforting" him through the unwinding process until her no longer can move, think, or process actions, leaving him the victim of a murder.

Connor's fear of being unwound brings about the theme that unwinding is murder because Connor no longer has control or free will over his future (Shusterman 171).
