(at around 21 mins) The scene where Beverly defends herself from and physically defeats her abusive husband, Tom, mirrors the scene in It (2017) where she had to defend herself from and physically defeat her abusive father. In both scenes, she ultimately had to hit her abuser hard in the head with a large object in self-defense which rendered him powerless. In the novel, Beverly, both as a child and as an adult, had continuously endured abuse and didn't and couldn't defend herself but simply got away when she could. Whereas, in the films and to a certain extent, the It (1990) miniseries, she fought back when necessary and succeeded.
