In 'Gerald's Game', what is the name of the protagonist handcuffed to a bed?

In Gerald's Game, the protagonist handcuffed to a bed is Jessie Burlingame.

Jessie travels with her husband, Gerald, to their secluded lake house in western Maine for a romantic getaway. Gerald handcuffs her to the bed as part of a sexual game, but Jessie asks him to stop when he ignores her resistance. She kicks him, triggering a fatal heart attack and leaving her trapped beside his body.

The novel then becomes both a survival story and a psychological examination of trauma. Jessie struggles with thirst, hallucinations, and conflicting inner voices while trying to escape. Her ordeal also forces her to confront long-suppressed memories of sexual abuse by her father during a solar eclipse when she was ten.

Gerald's Game was published in 1992 and was originally conceived as a companion to Dolores Claiborne. The two novels share themes of women in crisis and eclipse imagery, and they contain a brief supernatural connection. Jessie should not be confused with Annie Wilkes, the obsessive nurse from Misery, or Dolores Claiborne, who is a separate King protagonist.
