Conflicts Within Jack Torrance - The Shining by Stephen King

Toward the end, for all of you who saw the movie, knows what the big buildup is all about. Jack finally endures all the hate and anger that is boiled up inside of him and goes totally insane. At one point in the book Danny asked Jack if he'd ever hurt him or his mom and Jack's answer was a simple no. When the pressures from being couped up in the same giant hotel with the same 2 people, Jack didnt stay true to his word that he had given his son. The day came and Jack lost all control by attempting to kill his dear and innocent wife Wendy. He proceeded to bash her ribs with a roque stick and then tried to murder her by way of a knife. While unsuccessful, Jack had failed within himself to compose of everything he had built to recooperate with his drinking problem. It was all let loose on this one moment of insanity. He was taking it out on his loved ones. This part was a true display of what type of effects drinking and anger problems in general can have on a person. Jack was doing so good for a long while but overall he was never ever right. This can happen to anyone and that is what makes this book an instant horror classic. If you had anger issues and a drinking problem on top of that, would you be a responsible adult and risk what Jack risked by going to an empty hotel with only 2 people for such a long time? And if so, why? Everyone gets tired of everyone somewhere down the line...
