Before I make my prediction, I must
say this, The Shining is a Steven King novel,
I very much doubt that the main characters are going to walk away and think “Oh
that was quite an adventure, I feel up for a scoop of ice cream.” The author is
renowned for his sick twisted unhappy endings, which I feel are very likely to
strike again. The mode of literature is clearly irony, with the nightmarish
setting and the weak and tormented Jack Torrance. I predict death for almost
everybody except maybe young Danny. I believe this is the best prediction
because perhaps Danny’s foresight may save him from demise.
