Essay Topics
Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:
Essay Topic 1
During the retrospection of writing her manuscript, the governess mentions that addressing the supernatural events may have saved her from future events. How is this both accurate and inaccurate? Why does the governess refrain from mentioning the events? How would "The Turn of the Screw" be altered if the governess asked Miles and Flora about the ghosts after she first realized the presence of Bly's supernatural visitors?
Essay Topic 2
"The Turn of the Screw" begins with a frame story that provides a little bit of background information on the governess. How does this enhance the story? How would "The Turn of the Screw" be different if it began with the first chapter, rather than the frame story?
Essay Topic 3
Throughout "The Turn of the Screw", lines of social class are often blurred. How is this true with the governess and Mrs. Grose? How is this evident in the relationship between Peter Quint and Miss Jessel? Provide and explain examples of this in the relationships between Miles, Flora, Miss Jessel, and Peter Quint.
