   Jack is portrayed as a man with good intentions who is overcome by evil. He starts out as kind of bad. He is irritated by his family.
   Jack finds a scrapbook that details all the bad things that happened at the hotel. A scrapbook can be seen by Jack's typewriter. We don't see him look through it.
   Jack, in a moment of sanity tells Danny and Wendy to get out and tries to relieve the pressure in the boiler. He fails and the building explodes killing him. Jack chases Danny outside and into the hedge maze. Danny retraces his steps and Jack gets lost in the maze and freezes to death.
