THE TURN OF THE SCREW is the greatest and most subtle of all English-language ghost stories. H.P. Lovecraft praised its "truly potent air of sinister menace" and "mounting tide of fright" and subsequent critics have argued long and hard over the central "problem" of the story: if the motifs of the traditional ghost story, in the hands of a master, are used to probe the deepest depths of the human psyche, do the resultant terrors spring from the objective return of the spirits of the dead, or from the fears, memories, and guilt the expectation of such apparitions may evoke? Are there any ghosts in this story at all? James himself might have been puzzled by that question. His own remarks make it clear that what he had in mind was a "sinister romance," inspired by a ghostly story he had heard from an Archbishop of Canterbury. He wrote of the "portentous evil" of the "demon-spirits" in the story, but it was his genius to make them so profoundly mysterious that THE TURN OF THE SCREW will survive any number of interpretations, and go on to chill and delight readers for centuries to come. THE TURN OF THE SCREW was memorably filmed as THE INNOCENTS (1961), arguably the finest cinematic ghost story of all time.

人的脆弱在坦然面对后会变成刚毅的勇敢，鬼也好魂也罢，都源于心灵和意识。当明白无余地剖析了自我心理之后，便无所畏惧。人是歇斯底里的动物，人也是创造歇斯底里的动物。艺术家拿捏着人类共有的所有情绪来编制着他们的作品，由之而生的任何感触都是观赏者自己情绪的延续。 ...

Too many adverbial modifiers, too much fussy meditation and ambiguous reflection and overdone clumsy suspenses. Don't see why it's among James' well-received works. I side with critics who consider the narrator insane...
