![]() ![]() ![]() There are those who prefer the version of Wendy that is seen in the 1980 film.

She does not trust her husband to be alone with Danny and competes with him for Danny’s affection. Wendy tries to be patient and understanding, but she has little pity or forgiveness for Jack (and in this way, she is her mother's daughter), forever reminding him of his failures. Wendy has some psychological problems of her own: She is always unconsciously competing with her mother, who resented Wendy for the death of a younger sister, derided her choice of Jack as a husband and criticized the way she is rearing Danny. Wendy Torrance is drawn, like many of King’s female characters, as a traditional wife and mother. ![]()
