| Abstract | ||
| This paper demonstrates the biblical Influence on Stephen King's Desperation (DSPN). The horror-novelist Stephen King (born 1947) writes as a free thinker in the majority of his works. But, in this novel he makes use of biblical elements. The new insight to be gained from this attempt is that the bestseller novelist can use biblical situations, settings, ideas, and paraphrases to give more depth to his novel. This influence lends the novel authority and an audible voice dressed in the panoramic conflict of Good versus Evil. Not surprisingly, King's conclusion or epilogue to the novel is a restatement of the New Testament message. Above all, the appearance-and-reality theme and non-stop conflict are carried out in a manner that feeds on the guaranteed acceptability of the original source as an inexhaustible text. | ||
