Throughout, The
Haunting of Hill House, there are various repetitions. The first and last
paragraphs of the novel are completely the same. It draws attention to the
cyclical nature of the house and the implication that strange events will keep
on recurring. Another thing, that I noticed was that towards the end Eleanor
connected with house and saw it sort of as a home. Even though she was afraid
of being alone, it seems as if she constantly sought out to be alone in all of
her fancies. She is the only character that we get the first point of view from
and she doesn’t seem to be a reliable source. She cannot distinguish her
fancies from her reality and most likely let her mom die.
Post arguments, interpretative questions, and engaging responses on the week's reading.
