5/11/2023 0 Comments Shining by Stephen King![]() I love how King fleshed out Jack’s inner turmoil and conflict. He is thus able to see through what really happened with Jack and all the ghosts and horrific elements of the Overlook Hotel. He has the ability to read minds, see ghosts and see through the future or past incidents. ![]() We also follow Danny’s experience in the Overlook Hotel. At the end, Jack went mad and tried to murder his son, Danny and his wife, Wendy. The Overlook Hotel sort of came alive and “possessed” Jack by manipulating and using his past demons. Jack moved into the hotel with his family and a lot of strange things happened. In summary, this is a story about a father (Jack Torrance) who is haunted by his past demons and decided to start afresh by accepting a new job as a caretaker of the Overlook Hotel (which is haunted). As for The Shining, it is heavily character driven. The first being The Institute and I think it is more plot driven. Stephen King blew my mind away with this iconic horror story! “This inhuman place makes human monsters” ![]() And the only one to notice the strange and terrible forces gathering around the Overlook is Danny Torrance, a uniquely gifted five-year-old. But as the harsh winter weather sets in, the idyllic location feels ever more remote…and more sinister. ![]() As the off-season caretaker at the atmospheric old hotel, he’ll have plenty of time to spend reconnecting with his family and working on his writing. Jack Torrance’s new job at the Overlook Hotel is the perfect chance for a fresh start. ![]()
