Jack Torrence was possessed by the Overlook. Kubrick added a strange psychological element to the characters. There was a hierarchy of crazy in the family. He made Jack Torrence insane. He also made the boy crazy. Danny talked to his pinky. The mom was one of those creepy pessimistic parents; "oh isn't it cute our son talking to imaginary friends." Jack Nicholson plays a brilliant crazy. He was great in One flew over the cuckoo's nest, too. I can't imagine The Shining without Jack Nicholson. He's an amazing actor.
