The Turn of the Screw
Is the truth we are so certain of actually reality, or an illusion created by our inner fears?
📝ONGO's Reflection
When I reached the ambiguous ending of this novel, my skin crawled at the truth that nothing is more terrifying than the human mind. The author's psychological depiction is masterful, leaving us unable to the very end to tell whether the ghosts of the estate, visible only to the governess, are real evils or delusions born of her own repressed obsession. Through a suffocating tension that tightens like the turn of a screw, it relentlessly asks how unstable the foundation is on which our beliefs stand. A masterpiece.

Look back and ask whether you've ever read your own meaning into someone's actions and worked yourself into anxiety. When you take off the tinted glasses that fear has placed on you, the real situation begins to come into view.
