Abstract
Horror fiction has intrigued and entertained people ever since it appeared in the end of the 18th century. Stephen King is one of the most famous modern horror novelists, and the novel It definitely proves King’s belonging to this genre. The novel portrays the lives of the Losers Club, a group of children in Derry, who face It, a mysterious shape-shifting monster that kills children in their town. This thesis deals with the concept of fear presented in this novel, the characters’ views on fear and facing their fears. It also discusses the concept of growing up, or coming of age, in this novel. Both parts of the thesis are connected, since the perception of fear influences the way the characters deal with it, and eventually how they grow up in the process, and the influence of maturity on their perception of fear. These topics are relevant because fear is a very powerful emotion, and King provides us with an insight into the realm of fear, or horror, and helps us understand our own fears. It also emphasizes the importance of nurturing our inner child, because children perceive the world in a different, simpler, and maybe even better way. It teaches us to deal with our fears and conquer them in order to fully mature.
