Thriller Character- Character Creation (Part B)

I believe my character holds similar characteristics to Jason Bourne due to the fact that he is someone he doesn't want to be. Jason Bourne is a trained assassin who wants out, he doesn't want to be the villain anymore; likewise Jack is a schizophrenic who murdered a young women, to this day he remains regrettable and begs for forgiveness as this is a character he wishes never existed.


I also believe Jack is similar to Jack Torrance from 'The Shining' as they both switch character personality, from good to bad and both have family who they want the best for. Both Jack's have a son who they would die for, even though Jack Torrance tries to kill his son this is due to the demons he is possessed by. During 'The Shining', after being accused of strangling Danny(his son), Jack speaks to Loydd of how he would never hurt the boy and how he's everything to him, similarly Jack(Individuality) is a character who shares great love with his son and tries his hardest to protect him.


In a way my character is also similar to Annie Wilkes from 'Misery', her and Jack are both obsessive, or at least Jack used to be before diagnosed with schizophrenia. Annie has an obsession for the main character in the novels written by Paul, Jack had an obsession for the woman he murdered, he, like Annie, couldn't face rejection and dealt with it through harm and danger.
