Spoiler- What happened to Jabe Torrance?


Not that it's really essential to the story, but I just wondered whether the evil Mr Torrance survived his own act of arson. And did anyone take notice of how the responders to the fire charged up the stairs, totally ignorning Lady Torrance as if she wasn't even there? Interesting. But then it's consistent with how the town's men seemed to never acknowledge this *beep* bootlegger's daughter", confirming that she was an outsider in a small insular southern town.

I noticed that too. I think the towns men even managed to kill or run out of town Lady's father. Maybe its because they were Italian, surely an exotic and alien presence in this particular town.

I assumed he was killed since no one was using the water to actually put out the fire. The whole ending is a mess though.
