![]() ![]() ![]() In ‘The Turn of the Screw,’ Henry James develops the story by integrating several mysteries which are left to the reader to decipher. Many of Miles’s actions and the events in the narrative involving him are unexplained, and most of the interpretation is left to the reader. Miles is a particularly mysterious character in the story, and the reader’s understanding of him completely depends on the governess’s ability to depict him appropriately according to his actual personality. Because the governess narrates the story, her state of mind determines how the characters are portrayed. The most famous uncertainty, discussed by many critics, is the governess’s sanity. James develops the tale by integrating several mysteries in the plot that he himself did not provide an answer to. This structure generates an ambiguous representation of Miles through the governess’s inconsistent perspective of him. This specific structure in ‘The Turn of the Screw’ creates mystery in the novel by having the governess’s story told by the anonymous male, and the children’s story told by the governess. This type of set up is called the “nested structure,” where direct access to the speaker is withheld because it is filtered through another character’s report. The story is narrated by an anonymous male reciting a manuscript written by a governess telling the story of her employer’s niece and nephew. ‘The Turn of the Screw,’ a novella by Henry James, is a story of how two children, Miles and Flora, are tormented by two ghosts. ![]()
