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.

The novella is so ambiguous that at the end the question still remains: do the ghosts exist or is the governess going wildly insane?
