Jack Torrance, The Shining
[dx_custom_adunit desktop_id=”RTK_K67O” mobile_id=”RTK_5yk0″]
Jack Torrance literally drives his wife and son to an all-but abandoned hotel super far away from civilization so that he can selfishly focus on writing his shitty novel instead of caring about the happiness and well-being of his family. What’s Wendy supposed to do locked up in the Overlook Hotel all day, huh? Let’s also not forget the fact that his son, Danny, is about one imaginary friend away from a full psychotic break, and he doesn’t even really notice. The icing on the cake is when he escalates from absentee father to full-blown psychopath and chases his wife and kid around with an axe. Bonus points for making the weird choice to start calling himself Johnny when he morphs into a homocidal maniac – wtf was that about?
