The Haunting of Hill House (p.24-157)

OOOO man, its been a while since I've written something on this blog. A lot of time, and whole lot of reading. Eleanor was the first to get to the Hill House and she met the man, who was basically one of the housekeepers. He talked to Eleanor with such voice that could scare anyone and it even made Eleanor double think about going inside the house in the first place. Inside the house theres another housekeeper, Theodora. She is married to Dudley, the man who was scaring Eleanor outside before going inside. Theodora and Dudley are the only people who would dare stay in that house until Dr. Montague called the operation and brought people with him to the mission. It's scary how Dr. Montague and the other discover how a young girl killed herself in the house because of love. This shocked Eleanor because she lost someone the same way. As time goes by, Dr. Montague doesn't see as much as he expected. He see's alot of Theodora and Dudley and hearing about their stories, until one day Eleanor seen something written over Theodoras bed in shaky paper saying, "Come home Eleanor...Come home"(Jackson155). Eleanor says she was ready this time to actually face this spirit that is haunting her around.

"This time I am ready...you'd better get her out of here; bring her to my room"(Jackson155). This quote caught my attention because Eleanor is determined and knows that she cannot let this oppertunity pass by her. She is going to face this spirit and she is going to do it alone without no one else their. She is going to face her fears to these spirits once and for all.

is the real fear what is in the house, or the strange connections between the background of the characters and what went on in the house?
