6. If Torrance is the Big Bad Wolf, then he's also another carnivorous canine villain, Wile E. Coyote.

7. Torrance, if you think about it, is quite a bit like the Coyote. Full of schemes, thinks he's smarter than he is, hapless, foiled in end.

8. Torrance's attempts to kill his wife and child are as luckless as the Coyote's schemes against the Roadrunner. Both accident-prone.

13. With Kubrick always best to assume he knew what he was doing. If he elicited cartoony performances, it was because he's making cartoons
