Perhaps its most mystifying element is its final zoom, which gradually falls on a picture of Jack Torrance beaming in front of a crowd with the caption “July 4 th Ball, Overlook Hotel, 1921.” While Bill Blakemore and others examine the film as a critique of violence in American history, no scholar has thoroughly established the connection between July 4 th, 1921, Jack Torrance, and the rest of the film.

  • Stephen King 1947—
    King, Stephen 1947— Author: Tony Magistrale Date: 2000 From: American Writers, Supplement 5 Publisher: Charles Scribner's Sons Document Type: Biography; Critical essay Length: 11,425 words About this Person Born: September 21, 1947 in Portland, Maine, United States Nationality: American Occupation: Novelist Other Names: King, Stephen Edwin; Bachman, Richard; King, Steve (American novelist); Swithen, John; Druse, Eleanor Full Text: Stephen King 1947— Introduction IN A CONVERSATION with Stephen King that took place several years ago, I made the mistake of asking him why he continues to live in Bangor, Maine. I reminded him that the year before he had made fifty million dollars; since he could afford to reside anywhere in the world, why Bangor? King took me in with a look that suggested he had just swallowed some particularly offensive species of bug— indeed, that perhaps I myself were a member of that insect species. His response was a sardonic, “Now, just where would you have me live—Monaco?” This little anecode actually reveals a great deal about Stephen King, the man as well as the writer. Since 1974, the publication year of his first novel, Carrie, King has assembled a prodigious canon. By the late 1990s he had averaged more than a book a year for nearly three decades: 35 novels, 7 collections of short stories and novellas, and 10 screenplays. One consistent element that unifies this broad and eclectic landscape is that the majority of this fiction shares a Maine setting. Born in Portland, Maine, on September 21, 1947, Stephen King has spent almost his entire existence in Maine.

  • Exposing Traumas in Stephen King's the Shining and Doctor Sleep
    Volume 2 Issue 3 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND December 2015 CULTURAL STUDIES ISSN 2356-5926 Exposing traumas in Stephen King’s The Shining and Doctor Sleep Jessica Folio University of Reunion Island, France Abstract This article aims at casting an innovative light on Stephen King’s The Shining (1977) and its sequel, Doctor Sleep (2013) by showing how theories of trauma are applicable to the mainstream American writer’s work. On the stage set up for his readers, King unveils a journey of traumas but he also lifts up the curtain on the ways to cope with the consequences of these traumas. Both narratives follow the flawed hero, Danny Torrance, reveal the shattering experiences lived by the latter as a five-year-old child in The Shining and the ensuing post traumatic disorders in Doctor Sleep. The texts not only offer a coalescence of traumas, representing a journey of repression and haunting but they equally open the way on the possibility of healing. Keywords: trauma, repression, regression, disorders, repetition compulsion, healing. http://ijhcschiefeditor.wix.com/ijhcs Page 328 Volume 2 Issue 3 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND December 2015 CULTURAL STUDIES ISSN 2356-5926 “The tears that heal are also the tears that scald and scourge”.1 This quotation from King’s The Shining (1977) encompasses the themes of the monstration of physical and psychological suffering, the repression but equally the resurgence of traumatic events or the quest for redemption. On the stage set up by the mainstream American writer in The Shining and its sequel, Doctor Sleep (2013), King unveils a journey of traumas but also lifts up the veil on the consequences of these traumas and on the ways to roam the path of healing.

King uses the classic gothic elements and combines them with contemporary events in order to reformulate the genre and create a modernized version of Gothic. The motif of the haunted house, alongside its mysteries, represents the secrets of the protagonist’s mind and the psyche that is beyond rational control. The ancient prophecy is delivered through a scrapbook which forms a connection between the present and the past.
