I'm 90% sure I'm right about what Wendy was supposed to be in this book when King started writing this
She was originally intended to be one half of a cycle of abuse that Danny is going through with her and Jack being polar opposites Jack having anger issues and not liking his work being insulted while Wendy is obsessive and fascinated with death
One is driven to lash out at the other and Danny is the one who suffers

There's something I've hesitated on actually saying about King's type of writing that has irked me from the first and with the Shining I'm just through pussying around about it.
He includes ridiculously caricatured racist behaviour by people - largely White people towards Black people - and none of it more annoyed me than the useless pulling over and insult for Dick Halloran going to the airport.

Part of me is thinking that King had an idea at the start for Wendy to be a Munchausen's by proxy sufferer as all her thoughts revolve around death, dismemberment, disease and illness. Just having that "oh what will happen to Danny" at the doctor's office screams that.
But with Kings stream of consciousness style of writing it got lost maybe because I don't see people commenting on it.

Let's start shall we?
Jack is perfectly scary in his initial thoughts, the anger he's not addressing that's bubbling just under the surface is enough to scare me about him
Danny, my heart is gonna break for Danny I just know it, he's a kid terrified of losing loved ones and he's 5!!
Wendy...*sigh* how I already hate her. I'll explain in the review but rn I'm thinking "expectations too high, upset over hardships"
