Abstract
This paper deals with the motifs of insanity and isolation in Steven King’s The Shining and Dennis Lehane’s Shutter Island. Although both authors use the same motifs in their works, their approach towards the plot development in the novels is completely different. Stephen King combines the motifs of insanity and isolation with common horror motifs whereas Dennis Lehane embeds the aforementioned motifs into the traits of crime novel to tackle upon human consciousness and perception. The first part of the paper explores the genres of Gothic fiction and crime fiction in the works of contemporary authors. The second part of the paper focuses on the usage of the motifs of insanity and isolation in King’s and Lehane’s novels. The paper concludes with the detailed comparison of King’s and Lehane’s works, and the motifs of isolation and insanity portrayed in them.
