Summary: Turn Of The Screw

The governess even takes realization to this idea when she states, “wasn’t he looking through the haunted pane for something he couldn’t see?

The narrator in The Turn of the Screw bestows the reader with the tale of a boy possessed by ghosts. However, vigilant reading of the passage will provide a reader with the story of a boy who is terrified only because he is in the same room as someone suffering a mental

The Turn of the Screw, a novella by Henry James first published in 1898, is the story of a young governess in charge of two children at a secluded estate, Bly, in Essex, England in the 1840s. Bly, being so sequestered in the countryside, as well as being large and spacious, provides James with the ideal setting to relay a frightening horror story. The novella begins with a frame story involving a house party where guests share ghost stories, most importantly involving ghosts visiting children, and ending with a character named Douglas beginning to tell a chilling tale that was given to him by the late governess of his sister.

As Valency argues, the life that Nora lives is one of sheltered fiction. Valency continues, describing Nora as a “rebellious daughter” and Torvald as the “archetype father.” [Valency 155].
