Diploma work about concept "fear" in Stephen King's works

[Khadisha]

I hope someone answer me. I want to know why Stephen King uses the word "heart" to describe human's condition in fear very often than "soul" ? Please, someone answer me if you know something about it, it's very important to me.

....possibly because humankind has long associated emotions emanating from the heart rather than the soul.....

Someone just got their homework question answered.

How religious is King? Perhaps he does not believe in a soul and Therefore uses the heart phrase more often....? I dont know at all. Just throwing out a guess.........

When you feel fear, it's your heart that races.

Take a trade instead, you'll be better off. You can pursue the high-falutin' stuff at your leisure. If you ignore this advice then don't lose heart and keep on truckin'. Good luck to you sir, study hard. All the best, mal.
