    Henry James’ The Turn of the Screw is written with one clear and true ending where Miles dies and the readers are left to guess the rest for themselves. Or is it? Right from the prologue‚ a reader may assume that Miles and Douglas are indeed the same person‚ but when the reader sees‚ “and his little heart‚ dispossessed‚ had stopped.” P.403 one dismisses that theory as lost‚ but it isn’t.

This is especially apparent in three of his other works‚ Daisy Miller: A Study‚ Roderick Hudson‚ and The Portrait Of A Lady. However‚ in his short story‚ The Beast In The Jungle‚ there is another theme that takes center stage. That theme is fate; moreover‚ the failure to control that fate. In The Beast

This allowed him more freedom and allowed him the opportunity of "getting to know" his character by observing
