We first see this when we see him in the hall scraping the chalk board to

The Turn of the screw Superficially‚ Henry James’s The Turn of the Screw seems to reinforce the status quo of American literature as male‚ whereby men are viewed as having power over women leaving women to become mere objects. James creates a nameless female protagonist whose story is told through the guise of a male narrator.

I really liked this quote because it appeared so early in the book (and so early in the governess’ care of the children) yet it is clear how much she cares for Miles and Flora‚ and sets the stage for how protective she is of them later on‚ when Quint and Miss Jessel appear.
