Shining New Light on The Shinings: Analyzing the Influence of the Artists' Reputations in the Formal Elements and Protagonists of King's The Shining and Kubrick's Film Adaptation

Bachelor thesis | Engelse taal en cultuur (BA)

This thesis looks at the influence of the public personas of King and Kubrick on the novel and the film adaptation, respectively. It outlines the precise persona of each artist, details why certain changes have been in terms of plot, and describes the alterations made in the main protagonist of each work, in order to distinguish Kubrick's postmodern take on the horror genre with King's popular fiction take.
