Poeple Change

Author's Note:  This is my first try at writing a character analysis so any feedback is appreciated.  This is written about a character in Stephen King's novel It.

Stuttering Bill, Big Bill, the leader, and It's biggest threat.  This is Bill Denbrough the only member of the Losers to have a family member killed by It.  As a child his emotions are straight forward: fear anger, happiness, and love.  Yet as he grows older he changes, becomes more complicated. Stephen King has done a great job showing how people change with his novel It.

After It murders George, Bill has two goals for life: killing It and having his parents back to their normal, happy selves.  He and his friends, who call themselves the Losers, all have seen It in Its various disguises and all of them know that It has to be stopped.  Like all children they still can accept the unbelievable.  This belief as well as plenty of motivation is what makes Bill such a big threat to It. 

But even after he returns to Derry and remembers everything, Bill has grown up and his belief has decreased as is to be expected.  His emotions also begin to grow more complex as well.  His love for his wife conflicts with his childhood love for Beverly.  And still he remains firm in the fact that It must be stopped.  His dedication to the task might be what saved him in the end.  This dedication inspired first Richie then Eddie to jump in and help.

Motivation, dedication, anger, and love.  These emotions are what kept Stuttering Bill fighting. Even till the gory end Bill kept going for the sake of George and all of the children and even adults that were Its victims.  And so through the years Bill Denbrough remained, in at least some small way, a child.
