Character History
Eddie Caspbrak is the hero of the work of Stephen King "It" and the subsequent fuses of the novel. The most weak of the "Club of Losers" was destined to build a successful career, and then perish in the monastery of nightmares of his childhood.History of character creation
The idea of the novel came to the head of the famous writer back in 1978. On the store shelves, the book appeared in 1986, adding a list of centenary bestsellers.
Inspiration for the author was the Norwegian fairy tale "Three goats and troll". With light hand Stephen King Bridge, under which the troll lived, turned into a fictional city of Derry, three kids - in seven friends from the "Club of Losers", and the villain became a demonic essence called "it". However, the names of the main antagonist novel a lot - the dancing clown, Pennivez and Robert Gray.
At first glance, the plot of works is concentrated around the mysterious creature, feeding the flesh and emotions of people. In fact, King used the image of the villain to personify the fears of adolescents.
Of course, it exists and presents a real threat, which is confirmed by the numerous killings of the summer of 1958. Nevertheless, to cope with a dangerous monster, each of the protagonists will have to look not only in the dark labyrinths of the sewage, but also inwards. And there - a storehouse for a psychotherapist.
The author was worried about the relationship between childhood injuries and the formation of character. Each of the main characters suffered for one reason or another. For example, Beverly Marsh - the only girl in the "club of losers" - became not only the object of bullying from school guys because of early puberty, but also repeatedly subjected to attacks of his own father.
She and Eddie Caspbrak - bright examples of how a person in an adult life subconsciously chooses a partner like a parent. So, Beev married a tyrant man who led himself exactly the same way as her dad.
Edward never could inhale in the literal and figurative sense of fresh air. His Stephen King "married" in a cargo and overly caring woman, who even looked like a mother. So the author made it clear that it is sometimes impossible to correct children's settings.
The murder of Penniveza symbolized not only the elimination of the threat, but also victory over their own phobias, carefully treated in an early biography. However, two heroes from the novel did not manage to close Gestalt - Eddie and Stanley Uris. The first dies in the final battle with it. The second will make suicide in advance, unable to see the fear of the eyes.
It is symbolic and the fact that adult characters forget the events of 27 years ago. Memory helpfully put the block to traumatic factors. But the consequences expressed in disorders demand to return and replay the script. Mike Henlon calls to all friends with a request to come to Derry regularly, this is a challenge of fate, testing for strength and a chance of changing life once and for all.

But it does not prevent the student to develop with the same one on a par. Sonya Caspbrak is violently resisting medical conclusions, inspiring the son of the thought that he is weak and needs careful care.
