Abstract
This essay has provided a critical investigation of characters in Stephen King’s novel “Revival”. My research question in this extended essay is “Analysis of the role of the ‘fifth business’ Reverend Jacobs regarding the themes; addiction, religion, music, afterlife, and comparison of him with respect to the main character Jamie Morton in the novel ‘Revival’ by Stephen King.” In order to find an answer to this question, deeper analysis of the novel and main characters were needed. In addition to that, I divided the research question into subtopics. First, the “fifth business” Charles Daniel Jacobs was analyzed in order to understand the character and further investigate his effects on Jamie. Then Jamie Morton was analyzed who is the main character in the story. With the analysis of two essential characters, it was possible to investigate the effect of “fifth business” on Jamie Morton. Throughout this investigation, several themes of the novel were considered and they were addiction, music and what comes afterlife. Themes helped reveal a lot of points about the subtopics and several quotations. The term “fifth business” wields a huge meaning underneath it. Fifth business is essentially, a person who has a special role in someone’s life. That role is not being a friend nor enemy. It can be interpreted as a “change agent” to someone’s life. With investigating the role of “fifth business” in main character Jamie Morton’s life and analyzing the interactions between them, it was possible to reach a personal conclusion directly linked with the research question, which was, it is possible to find a “fifth business” in our lives, who is essential to realize the course of our lives and how and why things can change in our lives.
