Structural Discourse of the Mist by Stephen King

Abstract

This study endeavors to discuss The Mist (1980) by Stephen King (1947–), from a
structural perspective, foregrounding his prowess as a literary technician in constructing
horror novels and storytelling formation irrespective of a well-known career in story
sketching. He experiments with a set of modern structures, mainly in the intended text
and others generally, aligning him apart from his predecessors. This gives him in
retrospect the privilege to make the story speak out through its evasive and unique
structure, which in return it metamorphoses to become even more compelling and
suspenseful for readers. Structural manipulation, one might say, has evolved into a
sophisticated archetypal pattern, challenging readers to interpret its covert value. King's
linguistic muscle integrates his diction where the language structure reflexively
personifies and supports the story's events and the character's mindset. Thus, both
literary and linguistic spheres cross paths in the novella's overall design. However,
despite the fact that a cohort of researchers have visited King's writings over the past
years, the implied and nuanced significance of his structure has not been scrutinized in
depth. The subsequent comprehensive analysis conducted through the lens of variant
