Stephen Kings "IT!" What is Pennywise?!
Question: Stephen Kings "IT!" What is Pennywise!?
Ive heard he is the towns bad persona, but i think i also heard he was some rapist psycho clown from the 1800's or something that haunts the town or whatever!.!.!. He must be somewhat subconcious bc of all the dreams and things he turns into!.!.!.anyone read the book that can weigh in!? What is Pennywise!?!?!?Www@Enter-QA@Com
Answers:
What you have heard is essentially correct!. Pennywise is just one manifestation of the bad spirit haunting the town!. The spider-thing they fight at the very end of the movie is another manifestation, and probably the closest thing it has to a real form!.
There's more to it than that, and it's explained much better in the book!. I highly recommend it!. It's a long read, but not that hard!. Enjoy and hope that helps!
EDIT - to the thumbs-downer: You don't know squat about what you're talking about, so take that thumb and stick it where the sun don't shine, bub!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

There's alot more going on in the book then there is in the movie!. In the book it is revealed that It is older than our whole world!. In the book not only is their It, but there's also another creature which is good!. It has the form of a turtle-like creature!. It is revealed that the turtle created our universe when it threw up!.
From Wikipedia!.!.!.
It apparently originated in a void containing and surrounding the Universe, a place referred to in the novel as the "Macroverse"!. Its real name (if indeed It has one) is unknown—although at several points in the novel, It claims its true name to be Robert Gray—and is christened It by the group of children who later confront it!. Likewise, Its true form is never truly comprehended!. Its final form in the physical realm is that of an enormous spider, but even this is only the closest the human mind can get to approximating It's actual physical form!. Its natural form exists in a realm beyond the physical, which It calls the "deadlights!." Bill comes dangerously close to seeing the deadlights, but successfully defeats It before this happens!. As such, the deadlights are never seen, and Its true form outside the physical realm is never revealed, only described as writhing, destroying orange lights!. Coming face to face with the deadlights drives any living being instantly insane (a common H!. P!. Lovecraft device)!. The only known person to face the deadlights and survive is Audra Phillips!.
Its natural enemy is "The Turtle," another ancient Macroverse dweller who, eons ago, vomited up our Universe and possibly others while having a bout of indigestion!. The Turtle shows up again in King's series The Dark Tower!. The book suggests that It, along with the Turtle, are themselves creations of a separate, omnipotent creator referred to as "the Other"!. The Turtle and It are eternal enemies (creation versus consumption)!. It may in fact be either an twinner of or the actual one of the six greater demon elementals mentioned by Mia in Song of Susanna, as the Spider is not one of the Beam Guardians!. It arrived in our world in a massive, cataclysmic event similar to an asteroid impact, in the place that would, in time, become Derry, Maine!. The Turtle later vomited in its own shell and choked to death on a galaxy!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
