The novel ‘It’ by Stephen King contains a total of 54 chapters. This epic story, published in 1986, is known for its complex narrative that intertwines the lives of its characters over two timelines, as they confront the malevolent entity known as Pennywise.
The chapters are divided into two distinct parts: one that takes place in the late 1950s, when the main characters are children, and another that occurs in the mid-1980s when they return to their hometown as adults. This structure allows readers to experience both the innocence of childhood and the harsh realities of adulthood, creating a deep emotional connection to the characters and heightening the horror of the tale.
