Different Seasons is a collection of four novellas by Stephen King. Published in 1982, it represented something of a departure for King at that point, as three of the novellas were straight dramatic stories (albeit with some horrific elements) that did not deal with the supernatural fiction that he was known for. Three of the four novellas were later adapted into feature films.The four novellas in Different Seasons are, in order presented: Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption (or, Hope Springs Eternal) - Hope springs eternal, even in prison. Made into The Shawshank Redemption in 1994. Apt Pupil (or, Summer of Corruption) - A teenage boy learns about the Holocaust right from the source. Made into a movie by Bryan Singer starring Sir Ian McKellen and Brad Renfro. The Body (or, Fall from Innocence) - Four young friends trek into the woods to see another boy's corpse. Made into a movie under the title Stand by Me in 1986. The Breathing Method (or, A Winter's Tale) - A single woman wants to carry her child to term, no matter what.In addition to the novellas, the book contains an afterword by King in which he speaks about being typecast as a horror writer, and the plight of the unfortunate author who has written a story that is too short to be sold as a novel, and yet too long to comfortably be printed by short-fiction magazines and anthologies.

Big, Screwed-Up Family
 Different Seasons / int_154aa477
comment
It's a literal case with the Chambers family. Chris' oldest brother Frank is in jail. His dad, during the Labour Day weekend when the events of the story occurred, is on a bender, sending his mother to visit her sister out of town. She, in turn leaves the youngest three (ages 9, 5, and 2) in the care of Eyeball, who runs off with Ace, in turn, leaving the little ones alone.

 Different Seasons / int_20860a0e
comment
Punch-Clock Villain: Dussander claims to be one at first: "The problem was not of my making, nor was the solution. I was given orders and directives, which I followed." However, as we found out later, he's actually a sadistic monster. Weiskopf, the Israeli agent sent to America after Dussander's secret is exposed says this about the architects of a possible new Holocaust: "I think most of them would look like ordinary accountants. Little mind-men with graphs and flow-charts and electronic calculators, all ready to start maximizing the kill ratios so that next time we could perhaps kill twenty or thirty millions instead of only seven or eight or twelve."

Nervous Tics: Discussed. Dussander recalls that the stress of waiting for the Allies to march on the concentration camp he commanded caused a strange outburst of nervous tics in his soldiers, including teeth clicking and a man who would drum intricate patterns on his legs with his fingers. Dussander tends to talk to himself when stressed, a habit he unknowingly shares with Todd Bowden.

Screaming Birth
 Different Seasons / int_47060811
comment
Screaming Birth: Averted. Sandra practices the titular breathing method, which is designed to let the woman "use her breath for something more useful than screaming." Unfortunately, this is a contributing factor in her death; the taxi driver taking her to hospital is creeped out when she's breathing heavily but not screaming, turns to check if she's okay, skids on a patch of ice, and crashes the cab. It kills her, though she doesn't let a little thing like decapitation interfere with the delivery of her child. The narrator, Dr McCarron, mentions that this was very common in the '30s, since women heard from everywhere that giving birth is very painful -- so it turned out to be painful. Also an aversion, of sorts, to the Lamaze Class trope, since the Breathing Method itself is a pre-cursor of Lamaze.

Spree Killer: Todd Bowden, a seemingly ordinary boy who is secretly a budding psychopath with an obsession with Nazi war crimes fantasies about going on a killing spree, regularly thinking about murdering his loving parents and girlfriend, and at one point pretends to snipe drivers from a top the highway. He only holds off for fear of the reprisal that would occur. At the climax realising it will all come out about his involvement with Kurt Dussander, a former Nazi commander in hiding, and all the homeless people he murdered, he decides to embrace it. Taking his father's .30-30 rifle he first murders his guidance counsellor Rubber Ed, then heading to a highly-populated location opens fire on random citizens for five hours straight before being killed by the police.

The Atoner: Very darkly subverted. At first, Dussander tries to avoid discussing his past with Todd and is reluctant to go into any detail about it, seemingly out of shame and remorse for the things he had done. The more information Todd coaxes out of him, however, the more Dussander begins recalling his past atrocities with fondness and admiration, and with that comes the desire to relive them. It quickly becomes clear that he had never repented of his evil, but merely suppressed it.

When Dussander turns the tables and blackmails Todd, he claims that he left a complete account of Todd's actions in a bank deposit box, to be opened and read on the event of Dussander's death. They're both bluffing.

Conviction by Counterfactual Clue: The police suspect Todd is guilty because when they ask him about the letter missing from Dussander's house, he jumps to the conclusion that only the letter was stolen but nothing else. However the police said nothing to indicate that anything else was stolen, so it was perfectly reasonable for Todd to come to that conclusion.

He dies in a home for indigent old folks after only being out a year, and Red is surprised he made it that long.

Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: One of the first things we learn about 13-year-old Todd Bowden is that his thought process and manner of speech are both incredibly mature for a kid his age. The next thing we learn is that he has a very disturbing fascination with the Nazi Germany and the Holocaust, and is very eager to hear all the "gooshy" details from a firsthand source. Things get a lot worse from there.

From Bad to Worse
 Different Seasons / int_7870735b
comment
From Bad to Worse: The last thirty pages detail the systematic unraveling of both Todd's web of lies and his sanity. First, Rubber Ed finds out about Todd's doctored report cards and how he made Dussander pose as his grandfather. Then, Dussander gets identified and reported by one of his former victims, leading to him committing suicide, which wears on Todd's nerves even more with the fear of their connection being revealed. After the police find the remains of Dussander's murders, they start to suspect Todd of associating with Dussander, while the Israeli agent suspects him of the bum murders. This culminates with Rubber Ed seeing that the man who posed as Todd's grandfather was a Nazi war criminal, and a bum fingering Todd on his murders after witnessing him walk off with a victim and later seeing his picture in the paper. Todd is confronted by Rubber Ed and ends up murdering him, then loses whatever was left of his sanity and goes on a killing spree, during which he is finally shot dead by the police.

An Offer You Can't Refuse: When it turns out that Tommy's testimony could help Andy earn his freedom, Warden Norton sets up a transfer request. Andy is screwed one way or another, since Tommy can either say nothing or find himself in an even worse prison than Shawshank. The only real question is whether or not Tommy is willing to accept conditions at the relatively benign Cashman prison and use the furlough program there to spend time with his family again, at least on weekends. He is.

Crime of Passion: Discussed. The district attorney prosecuting Andy Dufresne says that Andy finding his wife and lover in each other's arms, it might have been "understandable", if not condoned, if Andy had simply shot them in the heat of the moment. But as he points out, that isn't what happened. Each of the victims received four shots from a revolver, meaning that Andy had to empty the gun, reload, then fire again. Though, for the record, Andy really wasn't the killer, but was unable to provide his revolver for forensic comparison as he'd chucked it in a river, and so he was convicted of the crime, anyway.

Take a Third Option: Andy uses these exact words to describe the Black-and-Gray Morality of laundering the money that flows through the prison. He has no qualms about what he does for the warden, because it's not that different from what he was doing outside of prison. The novel then describes two extremes: the first is to be incorruptible and never get your hands dirty, and the other end of the spectrum is to wallow in filth and misery. Andy takes the third option by doing enough to get by without killing anyone.

Faux Affably Evil: Dussander comes off as unfailingly polite and courteous in proper company, such as when he warmly chats with a young nurse about her engagement and says to tell him everything, and omit nothing. His fellow convalescent recognizes to his horror that the words and tone Dussander uses are the exact same as those of the concentration camp commander who interrogated him long ago. One of the nurses is devastated when he kills himself (she's a Catholic, and believes he's damned his soul), not realizing what a monster he really was (it's in fact implied he is damned, though not for suicide but all those past murders).

Evil Is Not a Toy
 Different Seasons / int_9fb2452d
comment
Evil Is Not a Toy: Pretty much the whole point of the novella. Todd, intrigued by the horrors of the Holocaust, inquires Dussander to learn more about it. However, the more they interact, the more the boy's sanity begins to wane, as he starts to suffer from horrific nightmares and eventually devolves into a psychotic killer.

Parental Neglect
 Different Seasons / int_a54534a0
comment
Parental Neglect: The novella makes it clear that this is not something that started after Denny's death - Gordie once swore at the dinner table just to see what would happen ("Please pass those goddamn spuds."), and the only response was his mother telling Denny that his aunt asked how he was doing. It's a literal case with the Chambers family. Chris' oldest brother Frank is in jail. His dad, during the Labour Day weekend when the events of the story occurred, is on a bender, sending his mother to visit her sister out of town. She, in turn leaves the youngest three (ages 9, 5, and 2) in the care of Eyeball, who runs off with Ace, in turn, leaving the little ones alone.

Abusive Parents: Teddy's ears are disfigured due to his father's pressing them down on a hot stove in a drunken rage. Chris's father is also violently abusive, and Gordie's is emotionally abusive, clearly favoring Gordie's older brother over him, despite the fact that said brother is dead. We don't really hear anything about Verne's parents, but considering the way his older brother acts, they are (at best) not paying too much attention to their kids.

Too Dumb to Live: Teddy is almost the personification of this trope. His truck-dodging, "that time in the tree," etc. Vern isn't any smarter (maybe even less so), but he's considerably more risk-averse than Teddy, so doesn't count. They both end up dying young, Vern in a house fire, Teddy in a drunk driving accident.

comment
Crisis of Faith: Morris Heisel survived the Holocaust, while his first wife and his two daughters perished. Decades later, after he falls from a ladder, breaks his spine and becomes crippled, he declares what he has long believed is true; there is no God. He regains his faith in God after he ends up in the same hospital room with Dussander, who was the commander of the camp he was imprisoned in, and manages to identify him, which leads to Dussander's exposure.
