Re: Book club - October discussion - The Haunting of Hill House

I agree a lot with your interpretation, especially of Eleanor as sympathetic and I loved her at the beginning when she was leaving and trying to start her new life.

Vagueness in general leaves me feeling unsatisfied, but I can see why the book is a classic and why it works for people who can get more easily into that kind of stuff. :) And yeah to some extent Luke and Theodora being jerks may have been from Eleanor's perspective, but it was their intentions she was warping, not their actual words, and some of the words were not nice.

The scary atmosphere could work much better for me if I were more absorbed, which is why I really want to watch one or both of the movies.

I appreciate your insight and detailed response. This is a good comment :)

Watch the 1963 version. It's good and quite creepy at times. The 1999 film makes the supernatural elements over the top and it's really silly rather than scary.

Also, just read that they're making a series for Netflix. Can't wait to see it.

That's true. It's really hard to tell how much of it is Eleanor's perception being warped because of the house, how much of it is them being jerks, and how much of it is them being jerks because of the house.

I think, too, some of it was good-natured teasing that sounds malicious viewed from an extremely cynical lens.
