Henry James' 'The Turn Of The Screw' / POV Manipulation & Conveyance
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Henry James is extremely effective in conveying and manipulating point of view in his fictional ghost story The Turn of the Screw. By delving deep into the subconscious activity of his characters, James is able to evoke an eerie sense of obscurity that would otherwise be overlooked with any other method of presentation. What separates James' work from most others of the horror genre is the fact that he utilizes psychological tension which requires his audience to connect with their minds, as opposed to the thrasher type that employs blood and gore. The writer discusses how James conveys and utilizes manipulation with regard to point of view. No additional sources cited.
