Theme

    In chapter 9 of The Shining the theme is represented when Danny Torrance in his head thinks, “ he kept telling himself, over and over, that the things Tony showed him didn’t always come true”. I believe the theme of The Shining is natural and supernatural collide and cause mayhem. This quote represents the theme because Danny has help from the supernatural to face the mayhem with the natural. Tony is the supernatural and his dad is the natural. The things Tony shows him are “supernatural” to Danny because he is only a boy, he doesn’t understand that the things Tony shows him are the future of bad things to come with the natural world.
