While reading through " The Shinning" by Stephen King i will be thinking about the psychoanalytic Criticism.Psychoanalytic criticism came from Sigmund Freud, It expresses the authors inner desires and anxiety through his literature.Stephen Main character Jack has some similar characteristic as Stephen king,they both are writers and both certified teachers well as having a drinking problem. Through Stephen works you find out that in some way he relates to his character.The Main Character will have to fight inner conflicts with good and evil.The evil inside him wants to kill his son and wife but the good/love for his family makes it through so he does not.Just as Stephan King looked for a new job as his curtain career failed Jack career fails and has him in search for a new job as a care taker in the hotel.Stephen king uses his personal fears into his literature work. Stephen king fear of death is used in his novel as death is what Jack is trying to commit and his son Danny sees through out the hotel.The inner anxiety the author might have felt that leaked into his literature was the viewing of the death of his friend that may have caused the psychologically inspiration of his dark literature. The Psychoanalytic Criticism is shown throughout "The Shinning" and even through the movie his overcoming with demons so he says has been shown in his literature "The shinning" as jacks son Danny sees two twin sisters standing in the hotel hallway that have been dead but are in seek of playing with Danny. While going through "The Shinning" you may ask yourself why is it so scary to continue reading but so addictive to not let down is Stephen king grabs our attention with our fears. He brings out the fear of death and what our society seems to have seen "Ghost". Stephen kings gives the idea of being able to see beyond the living and being a child with telepathically powers seems scary. "The Shinning" gives the reader the fear of entering a empty hotel and through out the reading finds "Murder" written backwards "Redrum", two twins in which have been killed by their fathers then to find a naked what seems to look youthful till is seen through the mirror and happens to be a old saggy looking women.Thats should scare ANYONE!. Stephen king literature work has its way of grabbing the attention of the reader through writting a novel that describes a mental stage of the character and its illness.
