Madeline Birmingham
An Analysis of Horrific Motherhood in Stephen King’s The Dark Tower Series
Maddy critically analyses the character of Susannah-Mia in Stephen King’s The Dark Tower series. Susannah-Mia is black, disabled, and pregnant. Maddy's feminist and psychoanalytic approach to reading her character shows how King’s narrative relies on patriarchal and white supremacist ideas about motherhood to produce Susannah-Mia as horrific.
