Monmouth University Adaptation of Stephen Kings IT Analysis
1. Construct a thesis-driven analysis that responds to the following question: How does Stephan King challenge, and/or reorganize the structure of the Hero’s Journey to reinforce IT’s function as both a trauma narrative and a “Coming of Age” tale?
2. Analysis must identify and explore at least four stages/tropes from the film where Kings makes significant revisions to the Hero’s Journey and explain the functions and values of those changes to the larger messaging within the film.
3.Respond to the following question: Marianne Williamson writes, “Until we have met the monsters in ourselves, we keep trying to slay them in the outer world. And we find that we cannot. For all darkness in the world stems from darkness in the heart. And that is where we must do our work.” Who, or what, is the dragon in IT, and is the dragon slain?
4. Use Andres Muschietti’s IT as a primary source and Christopher Voglers The Writers Journey as a secondary source
