Turn Of The Screw Miss Jessel
1,861 wordsLiterary criticism on The Turn of the Screw has been divided into 3 groups, concerning the plot. The first is to take the novel at face value, and say that it is a ghost story, that the children are possessed by the ghosts. Others have said that it is a psychological drama that plays upon some of Freud's theses - the ghosts are hallucinations of a sexually repressed girl who has been given a sudden boost in responsibility, and her madness corrupts the beautiful. The third is to say that the nove...

Turn Of The Screw Miss Jessel
1,389 wordsIn Henry James' novella The Turn of the Screw we are presented with an unreliable governess that tells a story about a haunted mansion. The novella is so ambiguous that at the end the question still remains: do the ghosts exist or is the governess going wildly insane? The film version, directed by Jack Clayton is much less ambiguous, but with evidence of both sides. The Innocents leans more toward the fact that the ghosts do exist and the children are possessed, although they might not realize i...

Netscape Navigator Important Role
1,187 wordsWhen I was first assigned this research paper on Voodoo, the first thing I thought of was Voodoo dolls, zombies, and evil magic. I think Voodoo is an evil religion which sacrifices humans as well as animals to demonic gods. I think it has been around for thousands of years, but is little left today. I believe that Voodoo is nothing but evil and the work of the devil. Voodoo originated in Western Africa by the Yoruba tribe. The Yoruba religion has about four hundred lesser gods called Orissa. Thi...

Beatrice And Benedict Love

This situation is often associated with relationships that take place during the adolescent stages of people? s lives, but in Much Ado About Nothing t...

Quot Quot Manifest Destiny
2,583 wordsAlbert J. Von Frank The ominous thirteenth line of Robert Frosts " The Gift Outright" is made to appear all the more ominous by its entire lack of tonal and grammatical relationship with any thing else in the poem, an isolation signalled, of course, by the parentheses. Almost by itself this line justifies Frosts own characterization of the poem as being " about Revolutionary War, " rather than, in a more general way, about the forming of a spiritual commitment to the land.
