10 Movie Moments Where Actors Weren't ActingTrue enough Kathy Bates played the lead role of Dolores, and Jennifer Jason Leigh played her daughter, and I remember there had been some fanfare around the release of the movie in the mids released in and both actresses were very familiar to me, but no, I hadn't seen the movie somehow.
And now I've read the thing and know what the story is about and considering what I've been going through in my most disturbing and all too frequent moments of recurring PTSD episodes in the last few years, I see there is indeed a strange connection there.
I should backtrack a little. I want to keep this as brief as I can and I don't want to delve deep into personal matters here.
Plenty enough has been said about this novel by now, but I'll give my version of it. Dolores is a housekeeper who has worked for a very wealthy woman called Vera Donovan and was eventually promoted as her personal companion when Vera became incontinent with age.
That is, since the day before the story begins in the book. Now Dolores has been accused of Vera Donovan's murder.
Vera has been found half tumbled down the stairs in her grand mansion of a house all broken up dead, and things look very much like Dolores is guilty of murder, with an eye-witness putting her right over the body, with a rolling pin nearby.
The book is told in a monologue, as Dolores is taken into the police station and decides she must come clean of an old crime to prove she is innocent of this recent death.
She goes all the way back to her teenage years, when she met her husband in high school and their early courtship she liked how smooth his forehead was—in retrospect, that was the only thing she found appealing about him Donovan when she was pregnant with her daughter Selena.
The crux of the action takes place on the 20th of July , the day when there was a total solar eclipse, which is when she planned and executed the murder of her abusive alcoholic husband by luring him to falling into a disused old well.
Stephen King has always impressed me as a writer. I may not have read that many of his titles, but I've been reading him since I was a teenager with a title here and there and gaps of many years between books.
I haven't delved much into the real horror stuff. I read Carrie as a teenager, but otherwise I've tended to prefer his psychological dramas, which I think everyone will agree is his great strength in all his books.
But he introduced a terribly intriguing element in this story that was mentioned a couple of times and then left floating with no follow up at all.
Dolores has a clear vision of a girl who has suffered abuse and is certain the girl exists in real life somewhere. But the subject is dropped and never mentioned again.
It made me wonder. Is this meant as just a strange recurring interlude, a sideshow? Is this something he does often?
Was it simply a flaw in this one book? Is it an idea he meant to develop further in a follow up to Dolores Claiborne that didn't make it past the first draft?
I mention it here because that is the one thing that keeps this book from being a five-star experience for me, because the lack of development felt like something that had been forgotten and unfinished more than anything else, while in every other way the novel is a memorable experience and touches on subjects I am very much attuned to and have personal experience with.
Such as about the lengths a mother will go to in order to protect her children from a bad father. About the estrangement that sometimes follows.
About various forms of abuse. About ghosts, which are basically projections of our worst fears which we somehow manage to give "real" dimension to, mostly from sheer terror which must become concentrated bundles of energy, perhaps because projected from our broken psyches.
Stephen King understand so much about human beings. He writes about people in Maine and their way of life almost exclusively, yet his stories are universal somehow.
He writes with emotional intelligence and when he gets a good story going, even if it's coming from a single voice sitting in a police station delivering one practically uninterrupted monologue, you can't do anything but pay attention and lay awake missing out on sleep if you need to, just so you can reach the end, because how are you going to possibly put this down and catch any z's if you keep wondering what happens next?!
The audiobook version was great. The narrator is very convincing as Dolores. Almost five stars. By a hair. Just that unfinished business.
It'll just keep niggling at me. If anyone has ideas about it, please PM me. Kathy Bates. What an actress. Liked them both a lot.
This is especially true if you thought that King only wrote straight h Kathy Bates. This is especially true if you thought that King only wrote straight horror.
But read the books first. King created two complex women characters in these two books who I consider polar opposites to one another.
And they are, excepting the face of Kathy Bates I pictured while reading this past week, and also in that small, dark place a person is driven to when there is no other choice that remains.
Annie started there. Dolores goes there for a short time because she has to, and sadly it alters everything in her life thereafter.
After her kids are grown and gone. After the woman she cared for, and learned to love as a friend, has just died. After no one is left.
Reading it in the book is where it makes sense, from the lips of Vera Donovan the woman Dolores worked and cared for — the real bitch for a time.
Like the characters, this book ended up being deceivingly complex because the things that are not directly experienced.
We are only shown a glimpse of all those years that pass after the Eclipse and the Well. It tied things together for me, as it bonded these two women over so many years.

I fell into her voice and found myself in that small town, on that little island, off the coast of Maine with her: listening to the events that led up to that eclipse and after; until now.
As for the now: Vera Donovan, her employer; another woman with a different kind of history, lay dead.
Dolores Claiborne is a classic, disturbing look at just some, of what happens around us all, both today and yesterday.
I cannot believe that I just now read this book! Problem solved. Now I simply must get my hands on Gerald's Game to read again.
This one lends a renewed perspective. Thank you Trudi for reminding me about this gem. View all 20 comments. Before being a constant reader I was a constant viewer, getting as many of his film adaptations on video.
Dolores Claiborne was one of the movies that I repeatedly watched in the 90's, so it's slightly strange that it's taken until now to finally read the book.
I feel that this is one of King's underappreciated classics! Maybe Kathy Bates portrayal is so firmly cemented to this character as I could really hear her voice as the events are narrated by Claiborne herself.
King writes such strong charact Before being a constant reader I was a constant viewer, getting as many of his film adaptations on video. King writes such strong characters and her determination to stand up against abusive Joe makes for one of the best his ever written.
Whilst there are no real supernatural elements that is synonymous with his work, the real horror is finding out the true extend of how evil the person living in your own home can truly be.
I also love the monologue approach, it somehow makes the very real and terrifying. This book was a little gem. I did a mixture of reading and listening to the audiobook and the narrator was fantastic.
I think what makes it stand out is the unique format of the story, which was Dolores giving her testimony to the police after her employer died in her care.
Although it touched on a horrifying topic, it was not suspenseful or scary--although a little chilling—and was so realistic that it felt more like listening to a true story.
Stephen King never ceases to amaze me with the characters he creates. I think so far this may be my favorite. Highly recommend! I managed to reread Dolores Claiborne in under 24 hours.
I was thirteen when I first read it, and even then it only took three days. With no chapter breaks and one of the best vernacular-heavy voices King's ever taken on, this book's engine very nearly purrs.
Dolores Claiborne is, in my opinion, Stephen King's most well-delivered story. There's zero filler, and that's unheard of where King's concerned. The book is so succinct that the movie version actually had to add more content instead of cut I managed to reread Dolores Claiborne in under 24 hours.
The book is so succinct that the movie version actually had to add more content instead of cutting content to make it fit. To give you an example of how rare that is, no other King book has ever been extended for film.
His short stories and novellas have, but never one of his novels. Normally, I suggest reading King's books in chronological order, but I believe Gerald's Game and Dolores Claiborne should be read in reverse order.
Gerald's Game was released first, but you get a better experience reading these twin novels if you read Dolores Claiborne beforehand.
And in case you're wondering what I mean by "twin novels", I'll explain: Both of the aforementioned books connect in the middle, kinda like siamese twins.
The main characters of both books share a psychic link that has absolutely nothing to do with either story. For some reason, they are able to see one another for a short period of time.
It's fucking odd, so be prepared. If you do not know about it going in, it can be jarring because it is completely out of place. King fans won't mind because we know it's just par for the course with him, but new-to-King readers will definitely be asking themselves WTF?
His literary novellas are outstanding, too, as are some of his future novels, but I would start here. Damn good character writing.
Some of the best I've ever read. Final Judgment: Eclipses the rest. View all 4 comments. Dolores Claiborne is a work of art - she's not the typical heroine that carries a novel with her beauty, intelligence, station in life, or luck of fate.
Instead she's average with her life but takes herself up a notch, makes herself stand out by standing strong in the face of the brutal winds life storms her with.
It's easy to sympathize with a character who fell into the familiar pitfall of marrying the wrong man, marrying too young, and living life to regret and endure that decision.
It's believable to follow a heroine who works hard, even if it doesn't get her far, who puts up with the dirt that's dished out.
She's crass, crude, loud-mouthed, and perhaps a little bitter - but she's also bold, hard-working, courageous, and intelligent with the way she handles people and the lemons life tosses her.
Instead of bemoaning, she endures. When struggle is inevitable, she hangs on. And when murder is the only option left, well King writes Drama well.
That can be seen here as well as other times he's ventured into it, such as his anthology Different Seasons. This is not a horror novel - save a few creepy scenes near the end that may or may not have been stress induced hallucinations.
It focuses on the heart and hope of a woman who is pulled under by life's circumstances, having her reveal the mysteries of her life under interrogation.
While she's being suspected in the murder of one, she chooses to start with another story instead. The books a little strange since King has most of it in dialogue, and not all that dialogue is a smooth flowing pleasure to read.
Island dialect holds strong and convincingly true. After awhile it flows together when you get into the story, though, and you hardly notice you're mainly reading about a woman sitting in a chair while she talks.
The story is so interesting and demented that it's hard to put down. There surely must be slow spurts in the story-line, but I didn't notice them; the pacing held up well and it stands as one of his greatest works for me.
A lot of his stuff is too fluffed out, but not in this case. The perfect length for an intriguing story. Why four stars instead of five then?
While I try to judge a book by its own footing and not compare it to its film, the movie wouldn't leave my mind.
It's been a favorite of my mine for years, way before reading the book, and after seeing some of the magic they weaved with plot changes on film, I couldn't help finding that the book didn't hold up as well.
Selena's memory lapses and emotional angst added to the story while rolling on the TV, and I found myself missing some of those touches in the written version.
Both versions hold the point: a friendship forged into strong bonds that last through life and beyond, no matter the station or the circumstance; a mother's protective love for her child pushing her into things she wouldn't ordinarily be able to do.
Definitely recommended for fans of any kind of fiction - whether a horror reader or not. As Dolores Claiborne narrates her story of murder, abuse and revenge to authorities without any chapter breaks , I stayed totally engrossed.
You will despise her evil husband and love her entertaining dialogue with Vera as they become friends. I thought the movie was great, but like the differences in the book better.

The audiobook is phenomenal. The narrator even modifies the volume of her voice to fit with the story for example, when Dolores moves too far away from the microphone and her voice gets softer.
The narrator captures Dolores perfectly: her age-roughened voice and Maine dialect. Thanks to Maja for encouraging me to read this!
Her low, smokey voice is a perfect match for Dolores and Vera and this song is so filled with resigned hardness.

As old as this book is, and considering it was made into a big budget film starring Kathy Bates my favorite King adaption, by the way , almost everyone knows the plot — so I won't rehash too much.
But I will say this is the story of a woman — easily the strongest woman King has ever created, and simply one of the best damn female main characters I've ever come across in fict Five stars for one of my very favorite Stephen King stories: the enthralling and legendary novel, Dolores Claiborne.
But I will say this is the story of a woman — easily the strongest woman King has ever created, and simply one of the best damn female main characters I've ever come across in fiction.
This is her story — her confessional — all told in first-person Maine dialect. The writing style is unique, something most authors wouldn't have been able to pull off.
Novels like this one are why he is my favorite writer, full stop. There is so much I want to say about this book and I find I can't really say much at all.
I defy any reader to finish the story and not think of Dolores from time to time. A classic. A must-read. Favorite Quote "In the fifties In the end the bright colors always go out of life, have you noticed that?
In the end, things always look gray, like a dress that's been washed too many times. On page , Dolores is driving home on the day of the eclipse and takes note of the deserted roads — she comments on how they reminded her of "that small town downstate" where it is rumored "no one lives there anymore.
I'll say maybe. This is the 'sister' novel of Gerald's Game. Both books' most crucial moments take place on the day of the eclipse.

It does hold up, mostly. It's an unputdownable psychological thriller told by a charismatic narrator.
And evidently King does have an understanding of what child molestation and child objectification are.
It's just for some reason, he conveniently forgot about these things or was too drunk or high while writing It. I am mystified by the strange paranormal connections between Dolores Claiborne and Gerald's Game.
Maybe I'll read that next. Is it any good? View all 7 comments. Wow, what a great story! In the beginning I had a hard time making up what kind of setting it was and what was going on.
After I found that out I started to love this story. I could not put the book down and I am happy that I have read it. Good character building and development.
Great suspense building in general. Written as one chapter, this is the story of Dolores Claiborne who is suspected of murdering her wealthy employer.
Instead, during one long night, in a police interview, she confesses to murdering her husband 30 years ago.
The story goes back in time as she tells about the woman she worked for and is suspected of killing, about her marriage and her violent and abusive husband, and her life on Little Tall Island.
Different than what we usually expect from Stephen King, but where it is the same, as with all his books, are the wonderfully rich, diverse characters that he introduces us to.
To me, that would have made more sense than two stand-alone books with such a tenuous connection.
The one that's like pennies and oysters. Only it didn't come from the well; it has something to do with her father.

There wasn't really any horror to speak of, there wasn't any monster, there wasn't any hero to hope defeats or at least survives the monster, etc.
Except there's all of those things, I was just not able to see them. That's not to say that I disliked it It was a good book and Dolores' character was well done and memor The last time and first time, I think I read this book I probably wasn't even old enough to vote, and so, in the grand scheme of Stephen King books, I wasn't super impressed.
It was a good book and Dolores' character was well done and memorable, etc I know. I was shocked too! Especially considering that there are still some books that I don't appreciate properly, but I digress.
So anywho For one, I'm no longer sharing a peer group with Selena, but now have the privilege of being the same age as Dolores is for most of the book's story.
And while I've had a VERY different set of life experiences to Dolores, I'm much better able to identify with her, and actually understand this story.
Before we get into all of that, I want to just make a coupla quick comments about the writing style of the book. This is only the second to my knowledge of King's books that uses a mostly single narrative, sort of stream of consciousness style, meaning that there are no segments or chapters, no breaks in the narrative at all.
Dolores is telling her story, and she means to do it straight through. Which is fine, and in this type of format it works, because the whole story is told from her perspective, in her way.
There is a sort of add-on epilogue chapter that's outside of her narrative, but, honestly I think it would be just fine without it. The other book of King's to use this style is Cujo, and there it DOESN'T work in my opinion , because Cujo is a story that jumps around and changes perspective and focus quite frequently, so it would actually benefit from being segmented.
In both cases, though, it does feel like he's experimenting, trying something new with the narrative that he hasn't done before.
Cujo is told in 3rd person omniscient style, as if an outsider is just following all of the relevant pieces to show the reader and give the full story, but doesn't ever take coffee breaks, so you I hope you peed before you started because we ain't stopping this ride.
Dolores tells her story in first person, so we are literally only seeing that which she decides to show us, and once she starts talking, she doesn't stop until the story is told Lemme 'splain.
Dolores is basically giving a deposition, and the story she tells is being recorded by a stenographer as her testimony regarding the suspicious death of her employer.
When the police or investigators interrupt, or ask questions, or when ANYONE else speaks, there's nothing to indicate them at all, except Dolores's reply.
Which is weird. It's sort of using that dialogue-as-narrative trick that I hate, but in a different way. My point is that I'm not sure whether we're supposed to feel like we're reading her deposition transcript, or if we're in the room with her as she's giving it, or if we're in her head.
If it's either of the first two options, then I would expect for all of the conversation to be represented Though, actually, typing that out has made me think of this story in a different way We'll come back to this.
Anyway, so narrative structure aside for the moment , let's move on. So, Dolores is being questioned because everyone in town thinks that she killed her employer, because everyone in town is pretty sure that she killed her husband thirty years ago and got away with it.
Knowing that she's in a pretty tight spot, she decides to 'fess up, and tells the story of how, and why, she did in fact kill her husband, and how her bosslady came to be dead, but that it wasn't murder.
Dolores says that every story has layers. There's the story that's on top, for all the world to see, or see what they want or expect to see, and then somewhere buried underneath is the truth.
Her story, and this book, is like that. We can take Dolores at face value, and trust that what she's saying is the truth. At this point, what other option does she have but to come clean?

Loved each and every part of this book. Dolores Claiborne: foul temper, foul mouth, foul life. Folks on Little Tall Island have been waiting thirty years to find out just what happened on the eerie dark day her husband, Joe, died--the day of the total eclipse.
The police want to know what happened yesterday, when rich, bedridden Vera Donovan, the island's grand dame sans merci and Dolore's longtime employer, died suddenly in her care.
With no choice but to talk, Dolores Claiborne talks up a storm. Given a voice as compelling as any in contemporary fiction, her story centers on a disintegrating marriage's molten core, where the mind's unblinking eye becomes huge with hate and a woman's heart turns murderous.
It unfolds the strange intimacy between Dolores and Vera, and the link that binds them. It shows, finally, how fierce love can be, and how dreadful its consequences.
And how the soul, harrowed by the hardest life, can achieve a kind of grace. But that is for readers to judge.
They will come away with different verdicts for Dolores, perhaps.
