Added DiffLines:

* ChildishVillainMatureHero: Paul is a somewhat snarky but still level-headed individual who swallows his pride and does things he doesn't like in order to support his family. By contrast, Annie is a middle-aged woman with the emotional age of a pre-teen who has a childish dislike of "adult" vices like swearing and smoking, loves sweet food, is unhealthily attached to a fictional character and throws what can only be described as tantrums when she gets upset.


Added DiffLines:

* ViewersInMourning: An InUniverse example. Annie is devastated by the death of Misery, and handles it ''very'' poorly.

** In the novel, it's pretty clear right off the bat that Annie is certifiably insane. From the moment Paul regains consciousness he is able to assess that Annie is clearly mentally unstable. However, in the film, Annie is originally played off as a kind and hospitable person, albeit a bit eccentric. The audience and Paul don't realize just how deeply disturbed she is until later in the movie.

* TheGrimReaper: In the book, Paul comes to think of Annie as the Angel of Death, fearing her with an almost religious terror and ascribing to her supernatural qualities. Even after she's dead, a part of her survives in the fear she hammered into Paul.
