One common theme is the battle between good and evil. In many of his novels, there are clear forces of good, often ordinary people, pitted against overwhelming evil, like in 'The Shining' where Jack Torrance struggles with the malevolent forces in the Overlook Hotel.

King often explores how the mind can be a source of great strength or a prison, as seen in 'Misery' where Paul Sheldon's mind is both his means of survival and the target of Annie Wilkes' madness.
