Misery II?

I was thinking about this possibility, it would be nice to see a sequel of the movie but sometimes the second parts are not so good at all. The idea of put the life of Annie in a second movie is quite interesting. In fact, there are so much key facts that could help. Annie was arrested and she was a nurser who killed many babies so her madness maybe is justified with these facts. Human nature is a factor in this novel, if Misery II comes out, it should recreate the nature of Annie as a madness person at all. There's no other way to start another movie. It must begin with Anni'es life and how she enrolled with Misery. What's the essence in Misery's books that makes Annie feel so good? There aare a lot of lost points in the movie that could fit perfectly in a sequel. Well, at the end, it's just an idea. Maybe as I said second parts are not good at all.

The woman behind Annie

Annie Wilkes, the horror character of the novel, was played by Kathy Bates who won an Oscar for that role. There's no better actress for Annie. Kathy has all the characteristics that Annie has. 
The fact that she won an Oscar says a lot of the role she played. Her force and precision in the movie was the key. Annie had to be a crazy but clever woman, someone obsessed with Misery. Annie never had a life, a real social life. Kathy knew how to make the combination and how to create a life inside of Misery because that was the key of the movie. Annie lived just for Misery and without Misery her life was over. She was able to cause you fear just with that evil looking, with that feeling of loneliness that makes you think that she'll do anything for get what she wants. Some actresses like Bette Midler turned down the role because they didn't want to be seen as a deranged. In fact, that was the image needed to Annie and obviously the trump card for the Oscar. Kathy took that risk and changed her image just to be Annie in that moment. She knew that Annie will be totally different in all the perspectives. But changes are good, changes are the key for the success and that's what helped Kathy.

Ways to escape....

It's been a long time, now everything's clear, there's no snow out there but Paul feels bad. His legs are recovering but he can't take it anymore, he needs to go out or he'll be crazy soon. But he made a plan. Everyday Annie gives him the pills, the glorious pills. Then he put them away because he's not confident about the help they can give him. Everyday he has to put the substance of the pills in a little secret place. He knew from the beggining about the "love" Annie couldn't hide. She was sure about their future together. So Paul started his plan to escape.

The dinner take place and Annie is so excited that she just can't hide it anymore. Paul asks for some candels and wine to put a romantic mood in this meeting. He knows the time is short so he put the drug in her glass of wine. When Annie come back, she accidentally drop out the glass, which makes us think about the destiny isn't it?, Annie doesn't know anything about this but, somehow, she save herself. Now Paul is dissapointed, he has to start again. Everything is good as soon as he's safe.

A letter to the author

Hey there Stephen!
I'm reading "Misery" and so far I think it's good, quite different, but really impressive and I think it's one of your biggest works. Misery could be one of the horror novels that doesn't need monsters or creepy things to be good. This pshycological thing it's too good to be true.
But I guess it was difficult to write such a difficult novel. In fact, the creation of Annie was a hard point. The human nature is tricky sometimes and I believe that's what you wanted to say in the book. But I wonder about the difficulties in the writing. Maybe Annie was too strong just like Misery. The impact oof Annie in the novel was great but how do you create something so perfect, so precise and so evil but without that evil looking? That's what I admire you. You can take my fears and make them even worse. But what about you? I guess it's more scared and difficult create such an amazing and perfect character than a monster with big eyes and ugly feet.
There's no doubt for me that the motivation of this novel it's about human nature and fanatism. Watch out King! I may go for you!. The crazy Annie, I just can't forget her. But what was your motivation? because I'm watching another point of view. In general, human nature it's more dangerous. Humans are the most dangerous thing in the whole world and I can perceive that while I'm reading the novel. I know I'm just taking too long but finally I want to know what were the difficulties in the writing of Misery? but for real, Annie was too strong for you? Did Paul was just too stupid or too clever? Do you enjoy the book? If you could change something in the story, what would you change?. Thanks for read this and by the way I'M YOUR NUMBER ONE FAN! :D

New start?

It seems like nothing happened. Annie was angry but why she is so peaceful now? That's why Paul is scared. He prefer Annie angry than peaceful and quiet. Suddenly Annie told him that he had to bring Misery to live but how she's dead now and it's impossible. Not for Annie, remember, she is crazy, she is nuts and she definitely would do everything for Misery. So Paul had to started a new Misery's story. He had no choice, he was devastaded, useless, in her hands. Annie brought everything needed. So then Paul started. Annie was happy and excited. She is a psycho. FOR SURE.

Chaos

It was midnight and Paul was relaxing at the bed. Thinking, maybe, on how destiny is so fierce, all his questions that nobody could answered, he just knew that things happen for a specific reason. "So useless", he thought, useless for everything. In fact, he could barely move to get a better position with the bed. Then Annie was watching over the darkness of the room. Staring at the door, she was devasted. "HOW COULD YOU?" she screamed so loud. WHO ARE YOU PAUL? HOW COULD YOU KILL MISERY? HOW COULD YOU?. Paul was disturbed by Annie. The bed was moving so fast in every sense. She was angry but not just angry, she was crazy.

Unknown words

While I was reading the book, I could find some unknown words for me:

Droplets - In spanish "gotas"
Blindly - whitout seeing, adverb.
Dribble - act of drop, small quantity.
Bewilderment - Confused, desoriented.

I checked the meaning and then I could read peacefully again. If you have another meaning of these words, it will be good if you let me know.
