How does Paul handle the ordeal mentally, and how would his experience affect him in later life?
Near the end of my novel, Misery, the main character Paul comes across his window of opportunity -after weeks of planning- to escape the clutches of his crazed fan, Annie Wilkes. He successfully kills Annie, but when the police arrive they find the window open and Annie not there. This affects Paul mentally because he believes that Annie is not really dead, even though the police find her body. He eventually goes crazy with hallucinations that Annie is trying to kill him. He will have to always live through life thinking that Annie is still out to get him and he will never live his life the same again.
Hey! What if I was going to read that book hmmmm?
ReplyDeleteThis answers the question very well, showing the ordeal and how the character copes with that. This reminds me of the movie Misery, as it is the same thing. Who would've thought that would be true?
