I understand how you feel like that's a satisfying portrayal, I'm just saying that's not how it was portrayed in the books. And that's okay, the director has to make decisions when a book is adapted to the screen. Stanley Kubrick decided that, with the state of the art of special effects at the time, the hedge maze in The Shining would have looked stupid, so he got rid of it for the movie. People were upset that it wasn't there, but it was probably the right decision.
