The Shining is much more about Danny Torrance and his gift than it is about Jack. Danny has a gift -- he is able to "Shine." Dick Hallorann also has the gift of Shining. And, know who else "Shines" in the Stephen King universe? Mother Abagail also shines.
"I started having dreams two years before this plague ever fell. I've always dreamed, and sometimes my dreams have come true. Prophecy is the gift of God and everyone has a smidge of it. My own grandmother used to call it the shining lamp of God, sometimes just the shine." (p. 377, paperback)
