Post-Reading Analysis of Characters

In the book Christine by Stephen King, the main character is Arnie. This is the character that I will be analyzing. I don't think of him as "the good guy" at all. I think of him as the antihero, or even more as the "Goodie Two Shoes gone bad" sort of character. The car is what gets him into all this trouible. Not far into the story, he gets arrogant with his parents when his father opposes him of his possession of that car. It wasn't because of some sort of bad feeling in his gut, more likely because he simply didn't have enough space in his garage. He starts to scare Dennis, his best friend, and his girlfiend Leigh. In the end, his prized possession gets the best of him, and eats him up. The plot is too complex to be comprehended by a preschooler, but it is amust-read for the true reading enthusiast.
