The poet seems to have a good attitude toward Roland as he portrays him as a brave and noble character. I think the poet wants him to seem bold so that others will look up to him.
The poet's attitude toward Archbishop Turpin and the Crusaders is also a positive one. There are seen as brave like Roland as they fight alongside him in battle.
Roland himself can be considered supernatural. I think his survival skills definitely show that. Even Roland's sword can be considered supernatural.
The Song of Roland is one of the oldest poems. We do not know who wrote it as it has been told told for years and years by passing it down. It was told this way for many years before anyone ever wrote it down on paper.
