The Shining	comment	A 1977 horror novel written by Stephen King. His third published novel, it was his first to become a bestseller as a hardcover, and established King as a preeminent author in the horror genre.Aspiring writer and recovering alcoholic Jack Torrance has taken a job as winter caretaker for the illustrious Overlook Hotel in the Rocky Mountains, during the months when it snows too much for guests to visit. In spite of the hotel's grisly backstory, Jack really needs this job; since losing his previous teaching position for assaulting a student, money is tight and his already-strained marriage is on the rocks. His wife Wendy, who still remembers Jack breaking their son Danny's arm while trying to spank him in a drunken rage one night, has been contemplating getting a divorce. Meanwhile, five-year-old Danny has been having strange visions and keeps knowing things he shouldn't know.But Jack is optimistic, and a little desperate, for this new position to work out. The isolation will give his marriage a chance to mend and give him time to write that play he's always wanted to write. Too bad the hotel has other plans for him and his family.The Shining was loosely adapted by Stanley Kubrick into a 1980 feature film starring Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall. Though quite different from the original, the movie has come to be regarded as a classic in its own right. Still, King was irritated at the changes (while remaining lukewarm-to-positive about the film overall), and it was more faithfully remade as a 1997 miniseries starring Steven Weber and Rebecca De Mornay, which was met with overwhelmingly positive critical reception upon release but has become increasingly scrutinized over the years (in part for being perhaps too faithful to the source material) and is nowadays seen by most fans and critics as being inferior to Kubrick's film.King released a sequel titled Doctor Sleep in late 2013, and Mike Flanagan adapted the novel to film in 2019. The film stars Ewan McGregor as the now-grown Danny Torrance and represents something of an attempt to synthesize both of King's original novels in addition to the Kubrick film adaptation.

The Shining / int_121476bd	type	The Millstone
The Shining / int_121476bd	comment	The Millstone: Jack Torrance is one of literature's most tragic examples. He is the architect of every single disaster he and his family suffers, because he can't control his temper and he can't (easily) control his drinking. Over the course of events, Jack manages to destroy his marriage, his career, his friendships, his literary ambitions, and ultimately, his family. If given second or third chances, he will just screw up again. At one point, he almost gets himself fired from his caretaker job because he calls the hotel manager and viciously taunts him about the secret history of the Overlook Hotel (history which mostly predates the manager and doesn't directly involve him). Why? He has no self-control. He literally can't stop himself from doing shit like that.

The Shining / int_1869b4b1	comment	Unreliable Narrator: While the story is told in third person, much of it is from Jack's point of view and interior monologues. Throughout the story, he insists that breaking Danny's arm was an accident and that George Hatfield, the student who slashed his tires, falsely accused him of unfavoritism. However, as Jack dips closer to madness, there are strong hints that these actions were in fact intentional and Jack has just desperately been trying to convince himself otherwise. Specifically, when he has a dream about meeting George in room 217, he outright admits he deliberately set George up to fail the debate class.

The Shining / int_21c95ce9	comment	Anti-Alcohol Aesop: The book was conceived as a way of discussing the destructive effects of alcoholism, based on Stephen King's own struggles with it. The book emphasizes that Jack Torrance (who King based heavily on himself) is a good man who became corrupted by drinking, with his relapse during the book's events leaving him vulnerable to the Overlook Hotel's influence. Part of King's mixed feelings towards the 1980 film adaptation stem from how much it downplays this aspect, instead depicting Jack as an abusive husband whose alcoholism is just one component of his toxicity.

However, it only works on people with some level of "shining", like Jack or Hallorann. Wendy has basically no trace of psychic ability, and Danny is too young to have any particular resentments. More specifically, it preys on Jack's artistic frustration, alcoholism and subconscious resentment against Wendy for "judging" him. In Hallorann, it preys on his repressed anger and resentment of a lifetime of being bossed around by white people.

She feels immensely guilty over this because that's how her own mother felt about her and her father. It doesn't help that Wendy is a much more consistently supportive and loving parent to Danny, but he's at an age where he'll still forgive his father for anything (including breaking his arm in a drunken rage).

That is why Ullman and Watson have never experienced any of the supernatural aspects of the hotel, despite spending huge amounts of time there. Watson has worked at the hotel far longer than any of the other characters but has never felt so much as a ghostly chill. Hallorann, Danny, Jack and the unfortunate maid who was the first to encounter the woman in Room 217 are not so lucky.

A source of tension and horror in the novel is that Danny has psychic powers, but due to his young age he doesn't always understand what he experiences or isn't in a position to do much about it. Danny senses right from the start the Overlook Hotel is a place of evil, but he can't warn his parents both because he's not able to articulate his fear in a way they'd understand and because he knows how important the job is for his family. Things go From Bad to Worse when the Overlook starts to prey upon Danny's father's worst impulses and traits, putting Danny in even greater danger.

The Shining / int_8ae880f7	comment	Deconstruction: The book takes the classic horror story problem of Why don't the characters leave when they're still able to do so? and gives some understandable reasons for why the family can't just flee the hotel when things start to get scary. It's not just the Overlook's remote location and the bad weather keeping them there; Jack is deathly afraid of unemployment and this caretaker job is his very last chance, since he had to call in several favours just to get the job. While he's already falling under the control of the hotel, his fear of living in poverty and trying to support his family on either a Soul-Sucking Retail Job or food stamps and church handouts is a very real and understandable one. At one point Jack starts working out how the family could logistically leave the Overlook before spring, reckoning they would have to pawn Wendy's engagement ring just to get enough money to make it to her mother in California, and he's already grimly aware that their marriage would not survive living there as his mother-in-law hates him and Wendy would become an emotional wreck from being under her mother's thumb. There really is nowhere else for them to go, so braving out the creepy surroundings until spring arrives and they can depart as planned, without burning their last bridge, truly does seem to be the best option.

Jack's play shows his descent into this trope: while at first the headmaster, who is clearly a way for Jack to work out his issues with himself, is the villain unjustly persecuting a bright young student out of bitterness and jealousy, in Jack's later drafts the headmaster is unjustly persecuted, and the student has transformed into a smug, spoiled, manipulative little twat who deserves everything the headmaster does.

The Shining / int_b552b24	comment	Truer to the Text: The 1997 miniseries is far closer to Stephen King's book than the Kubrick film, with the huge exception of the Bowdlerised ending. It's not typically seen as an improvement over the Kubrick version due to the impracticality of capturing the subtleties of King's text in visual form.

Jack's play is coming along, the rift between Jack and Wendy is mending, and the difficulties of the past three years seem to be fading. Then the snow comes... A darker example occurs while Jack is in the equipment shed. Tasked with getting his family away from the hotel, he has to find the snowmobile's battery in order for it to function. He really does not want to do it, and he starts to feel relief when he doesn't see it... and then, he does. This upsets him so badly that he intentionally sabotages the vehicle.

A couple of lines from Poe's story are used as Arc Words here; see above. Lifelong rock enthusiast King also includes a scene that prominently, and very appropriately, features the lyrics of "Bad Moon Rising" by Creedence Clearwater Revival.

He is actually a decent enough man who deeply loves the Overlook Hotel and wants to do what is best for it. Ullman knows that his employees don't like him, and doesn't care, because he feels that "one has to be a bit of a bastard" in order to effectively manage a world-class resort hotel. Considering that he is the only manager in the 70-year history of the hotel to run the hotel profitably, he's probably right.

It's also the place where Danny sees the first supernatural event at the hotel, a bloodstain on the wall. When Jack finds the backstory on the murders in the room, it seems like it would be the source of something really bad. It's not. In fact, the only haunting associated with the room is the bloodstain. The fire extinguisher that Danny is afraid of. He keeps imagining it as a snakelike appendage, but it never does anything scary, aside from scaring the crap out of him when it falls out of its hook. The attic. It's set up early on in the story as a place of importance, but never appears on-page, and Jack only offhandedly mentions having put up rat traps there off-screen. He also put a lock on the attic door, closing it off as an escape route for Danny.
