Hello everyone, and welcome to the Stephen King cast, one man's musings on the works of Stephen King.

Once I reviewed each of his works in the chronological order of publication, but Ka is a wheel, it all goes round again, and here I am once more on a new phase of the journey, one that will examine each of the endings of the works of Stephen King to determine whether or not King deserves his reputation

The focus of the podcast will be to examine the climax, the falling action, the resolution

of the endings to each of his novels and break it down by character, themes, conflict, and

plot to determine whether or not it meets the criteria

of being an objectively good ending.

I'm also going to weigh in on whether or not I personally happen to subjectively like the ending.

And today, we are going to discuss the ending to the Green Mile.

But before I get into the ending, let me read the Wikipedia summary

so I can provide a basis upon which I can build my analysis.
