King has talked about the way Sheldon’s struggles with writer’s block and his desire to branch out past his most famous characters and genre have been based on feelings he experienced. Misery explores themes of obsession and unhealthy identification with fictional characters, while also serving as a musing on the writing process. She takes him to her home, seemingly to deal with his injuries, but after she finds out that he killed off the personality of Misery in his latest book, she turns abusive and keeps him captive to force him to write a brand new book changing the character’s end - regardless of what it requires.
One of King’s most popular and effective books, it centers on Paul Sheldon, a prolific novelist best known for his Victorian-era romance novels starring the character Misery Chastain.
