A view of contemporary Gothicism in Stephen King's the shining

Abstract EN

Edward Stephen King (born September 21, 1947) is a contemporary horror, supernatural fiction, mystery, science fiction, and fantasy author from the United States.

His books have sold over 350 million copies worldwide.

Many have been made into feature films, miniseries, television shows, and comic books.

King has written 54 novels, seven of which were published under the pen name Richard Bachman, as well as six nonfiction books.

He's also the author of nearly 200 short stories.

The majority of these have been assembled into book collections.

This paper emphasizes the history and development of the gothic genre into Stephen King's contemporary gothic.

Along with its mysteries, the design of the haunted house is the secrets of the mind of the protagonist and the abnormal psyche.

Throughout this whole novel, The Gothic main character battles his inner demons-his alcohol abuse, his tempers, and the memory of the violent, alcoholic father and the classic Gothic heroine, but King turns her into a contemporary gothic heroine, who slowly evolves into a mature woman capable of fighting for her sustainability.

The terror in the novel is not the beasts inside the hotel, but the beasts that can bring people to bear on the right influence of the environment.
