The quotation from a BBC interview is, “Shelley Duvall as Wendy is really one of the most misogynistic characters ever put on film, she’s basically just there to scream and be stupid and that’s not the woman that I wrote about.”

- hax0ron3 3y agoI think King was wrong. Wendy outwits Jack and saves her son. Yeah she screams a lot but that seems pretty realistic to me. When push comes to shove and she can no longer deny what is happening, she shows a lot of strength and intelligence. The idea that she is "just there to scream and be stupid" just does not match up with what the movie actually shows.
- kouru225 3y agoYea I disagree with King here. He wants Wendy to be strong but IMO it’s such a better story with her as this hopeless character who’s dealing with crap way over his head. It makes the story into a classic Greek tragedy.
