Re: Haunting of Hill House - the book

[(Anonymous)]

I haven't read it in years but, one, don't the other people who are there kind of force her to leave? Two, isn't it not so much that she's obsessed, as that the house itself is a malevolent force that's haunting her and forcing her to act this way? At least in part

Re: Haunting of Hill House - the book

OP - yeah it's been about 5(?) years since I read it and they forced her out which to me also seemed strange since from a reader perspective it wasn't (physically I guess) harming her, but yes I got the impression the force was forcing(lol) her, which is why I was sort of waffling on whether to call it an obsession on her end or being controlled by the entity on the other end.

I guess if she was obsessed OR controlled, going back to the house makes more sense to me than killing herself does? Because nothing to me in that end scene narrative makes it seem like, "I am being controlled/I am obsessed and this is going to end badly, so I need to kill myself to stop this" is what's happening.

Re: Haunting of Hill House - the book

Hmm, that's interesting. I definitely have never read it as "this is going to end badly so I need to kill myself to stop this." To me it's more like... the house just wants the people within it to suffer. It's torturing them, particularly Eleanor, and it's taking them over as people. In Eleanor's case, the result of that suffering and obsession, as well as the fact that the other people are trying to force her away, is that she dies by suicide. But ultimately the cause is that the house itself is just this inhuman malevolent force.
