It’s probably the most common choice that people make for their weekend nights. Are you one of the kind? Whether you’re a movie addict or not, you must have heard of Stephen King, an American writer and also a best-seller author in the century. Stephen was born in Portland, Maine, 1947. He married Tabitha, also a writer, and had three children, two of whom are writers as well. 4 Stephen started writing as a columnist for the school newspaper, The Maine Campus, during his college years. After graduating with a B.A. in English and acquiring a high school teaching qualification at the same time, he worked as a laundry worker due to no teaching positions available temporarily. notes: 1. addict (n.)

Stephen King is considered as a prolific writer on the basis of over 50 books that he has written so far. Some of his works have been adapted for films, which made him even more popular and allowed more people to get to know about him and his work. 7 Here are some of his most well-known books and films: “The Shining,” “Stand by Me,” “Pet Sematary,” “The Green Mile,” “The Shawshank Redemption,” “Misery,” “Carrie,” “1408,” “The Mist,” “It,” “Secret Window” and “Dreamcatcher.” How many of them have you read or watched?

Davis All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Monsters and Mayhem: Physical and Moral Survival in Stephen King’s Universe Jaime L. Davis Department of Humanities, Classics, and Comparative Literature, BYU Master of Arts The goal of my thesis is to analyze physical and moral survival in three novels from King’s oeuvre. Scholars have attributed survival in King’s universe to factors such as innocence, imaginative capacity, and career choice. Although their arguments are convincing, I believe that physical and moral survival ultimately depends on a character’s knowledge of the dark side of human nature and an understanding of moral agency.

    Journal of College Teaching & Learning – August 2010 Volume 7, Number 8 How To Use The Pop-Screen In Literary Studies Alexandra Reuber, Tulane University, USA ABSTRACT Teaching literary theory is fascinating for those who love the application of theory to a literary text, difficult for those who are of the opinion that theory destroys the actual beauty and value of the fictional source, and unfortunately often boring for those who are taught. This article, however, provides a popular approach to the introduction to classical Freudian literary criticism by choosing David Koepp’s cinematographic adaptation of Stephen King’s novella Secret Window. David Koepp’s film Secret Window (2004) is a valuable teaching tool, as it invites the viewer to observe Mort Rainey’s—the film’s main character—psychologically unstable mind and emotional distress processed in his dream states, hallucinations, and anxiety attacks. Moreover, the film illustrates well the Freudian concept of repression, of the uncanny, of dream work, and of the interplay of the three psychological entities—ego, Id, super-ego. This differentiated introduction to important Freudian concepts and his understanding of dream-analysis is student centered, motivating, interactive, and helps students to develop their critical and media literacy. Keywords: Psychoanalytic theory, Sigmund Freud, dream analysis, the uncanny, ego, Id, super-ego, double figure, development of critical and media literacy, Stephen King, multimodal communication INTRODUCTION eaching literary theory is fascinating for those who love the application of theory to a literary text, difficult for those who are of the opinion that theory destroys the actual beauty and value of the fictional source, T and unfortunately often boring for those who are taught.

  • Effects of the Dominant in Secret Window
    1 Effects of the dominant in Secret Window DR GARY BETTINSON Lecturer in Film Studies, University of Lancaster (U.K) ICR, County South, Lancaster University, Lancaster. LA1 4YD. U.K. Email: [email protected] Fax: +44 (0) 1524 594273 2 Effects of the dominant in Secret Window This essay seeks to identify and examine ‘problematic’ aesthetic strategies in David Koepp’s Secret Window (2004). Arguing that the film fits into a specific ‘puzzle film’ category favouring self-deceiving protagonists and surprise twists, the essay seeks to account for the negative critical reaction accrued by the film’s denouement. Most centrally, I invoke the Russian Formalist’s concept of the ‘dominant’ in order to suggest how Secret Window subordinates textual elements to the film’s narrative revelation. It is this prioritising of the main plot twist that accounts for many of the film’s dramaturgically contentious tactics. The essay demonstrates the means by which Secret Window cuts against the grain of Hollywood storytelling norms; it suggests that the film manipulates character engagement in a way that exceeds the puzzle film’s traditional reshuffling of sympathies; and it indicates how the film deploys generic convention and allusion to engender a highly self-conscious and repressive narration. These arguments aim to show that the film displays bold and sophisticated aesthetic strategies. More broadly, the essay argues that by analysing problematic examples of a film genre, we can usefully disclose the aesthetic principles that underpin the genre’s more successful films. Recent Hollywood cinema has elaborated an extant fascination with self-deceptive protagonists and shock twists.1 In particular, a few films anchor revelation in a fundamental aspect of the protagonist’s identity.
