![]() ![]() ![]() In these lines, it’s likely that King is conveying, through the character of Jack, his feelings about writing. ![]() He would write it because he felt he had to. He would write it for the reason he felt that all great literature, fiction and nonfiction, was written: truth comes out, in the end it always comes out. These familial bonds that exist at the beginning of the novel soon degrade, leading Jack to want to kill his wife and son. The world, he concludes, doesn’t “love you,” but Danny’s mother and father do. Here, Danny is learning that good thing happen to bad people, and bad things happen to good people, and there isn’t much, at least in Jack Torrance’s view of the world, that he can do about it. In these lines, readers can get a sense of one of the book’s major themes-the uncaring nature of the world. The world don’t love you, but your momma does and so do I. Sometimes it seems like it’s only the bad people who stay healthy and prosper. Good people die in bad, painful ways and leave the folks that love them all alone. Terrible things happen in the world, and they’re things no one can explain. It don’t hate you and me, but it don’t love us, either. ![]()
