Here, the narrator is relaying information about the Torrance family’s past. So he manufactured ways in which other people could do it, lopping a piece at a time off himself and their family. Once, during the drinking phase, Wendy had accused him of desiring his own destruction but not possessing the necessary moral fiber to support a full-blown deathwish. But it adds important depth to his character. Perhaps, in this effort, the “truth comes out.” Jack’s desire to write is only a small part of the novel. He explores the fact that a writer has a compulsion to write because he feels he has to. In these lines, it’s likely that King is conveying, through the character of Jack, his feelings about writing. He would write it because he felt he had to.

He would write it for the reason he felt that all great literature, fiction and nonfiction, was written: truth comes out, in the end it always comes out. These familial bonds that exist at the beginning of the novel soon degrade, leading Jack to want to kill his wife and son. The world, he concludes, doesn’t “love you,” but Danny’s mother and father do. Here, Danny is learning that good thing happen to bad people, and bad things happen to good people, and there isn’t much, at least in Jack Torrance’s view of the world, that he can do about it. In these lines, readers can get a sense of one of the book’s major themes-the uncaring nature of the world. The world don’t love you, but your momma does and so do I. Sometimes it seems like it’s only the bad people who stay healthy and prosper. Good people die in bad, painful ways and leave the folks that love them all alone. Terrible things happen in the world, and they’re things no one can explain. It don’t hate you and me, but it don’t love us, either.
