Wendy Torrance (The Shining)
Wendy seems to start off as a passive, meek, traditional wife and mother. She is Jack’s punching bag, but she is a good mother to Danny and is protective of him after Jack hurt him during a drinking binge. Once Jack loses his mind, Wendy is surprisingly tough and resilient. She slashes Jack’s hand with a knife, locks him in a freezer and saves Danny by pushing him through a window to take refuge in the snow.
