Neste artigo, pretende-se enumerar, exemplificar e analisar os mecanismos empregues por King para apavorar o leitor, no conto “The Man in the Black Suit”. Focar-se-ão aspetos como o narrador autodiegético, o lugar isolado, as personagens antagónicas da criança e do arquetípico demónio, e a estrutura do enredo. Metodologicamente, recorre-se a diversos especialistas na obra de King e, naturalmente, à opinião crítica do autor do artigo. Os resultados provam que, no texto analisado, King combinou, com êxito, diferentes técnicas de escrita criativa, relacionadas com o uso do espaço, o significado simbólico das personagens e o suspense crescente, para proporcionar ao leitor uma experiência realista e assustadora. Em conclusão, trata-se de uma pequena obra-prima no género de terror, suscetível de continuar a magnetizar o interesse da comunidade crítica e literária no futuro.Instituto Superior de Contabilidade e Administração do Porto2022-12-31info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34630/polissema.v1i22.4574https://doi.org/10.34630/polissema.v1i22.4574POLISSEMA – ISCAP Journal of Letters; Vol. 1 No. 22 (2022); 202-221POLISSEMA – Revista de Letras do ISCAP; Vol. 1 Núm. 22 (2022); 202-221POLISSEMA; Vol. 1 No 22 (2022); 202-221POLISSEMA – Revista de Letras do ISCAP; Vol. 1 N.º 22 (2022); 202-2212184-710X1645-1937reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://parc.ipp.pt/index.php/Polissema/article/view/4574https://parc.ipp.pt/index.php/Polissema/article/view/4574/2614Direitos de Autor (c) 2022 POLISSEMA – Revista de Letras do ISCAPinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessde Mancelos, João2024-02-01T20:18:32Zoai:oai.parc.ipp.pt:article/4574Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:29:28.349662Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
