Essay Topics

1.

Holly incorporates many references to King’s other novels. How do these references enhance or detract from the narrative?

2.

King’s novels often contrast the human capacity for evil with acts of kindness, bravery, and selflessness. How does this contrast play out in Holly? What does the novel imply about human nature?

3.

Much of Holly Gibney’s character growth takes place in King’s earlier canon. What impact is achieved by the novel starting with an almost-fully realized Holly? Is it harder to engage with a character whose primary development has happened “off-screen”?
