#I AM VERY PASSIONATE ABT STEPHEN KING☝️

[pnuk-r0ck]

I love Stephen King because the characters he writes are in one way or another, so human and people can find themselves in the characters. Like he always has a supernatural element 2 his stories (Carries telepathic powers, the shining, Pennywise, etc.) but his characters are flawed and human, not overpowered. Like Jack Torrance has angry issues that stemmed from his dad being abusive, which later caused him to lash out at his family just like his father would. The ghosts of The Overlook took advantage of his fear of becoming his father and turned him into his father. The kids from IT had far from perfect lives, they were all bullied and had personal struggles. Like Bill had his stutter, Beverly had an abusive dad, and Richie couldn’t keep his mouth shut for the life of him. Carrie is one of my favorite examples, a girl from an overly religious family who got bullied because she was off putting. She’s a shy fat teenage girl just trying to exist, but her classmates, period, and telepathic powers ruined that for her. She wished for a normal prom but it ended up with her killing her classmates because they fucked around and found out. Stephen King isn’t afraid to make the characters scarily realistic even if his stories are filled with strange powers and eerie creatures.
