Re: Haunting of Hill House - the book

[meadowphoenix]

You sorta have to read it in the context of the opening. As the victim of imo consistent relentless emotional abuse by her mother and sister who take advantage of her because she has no other prospects, Eleanor has very few good options. She can leave and be a punching bag for her remaining family until she dies or she can stay in the house that "wants" her, as nobody else wants her, as she desperately wants Theodora and Luke to want her, by becoming one with it. The car is the car she stole from her sister and it represents heteronormativity her utterly repressive life that the men are forcing her to go back to. So she crashes it, even if it means her death (again this is demonstrated by her first attempt when she hears her mother and almost jumps off the roof). That's how bad being single and gay-ish was for women in the 1950s/60s. That's the socio-political element.

The paranormal element is that Eleanor perhaps has the Shining, to borrow from King lol, and the house is working on her, the same way the hotel is working on Jack by convincing her that she is safe there and that no one else understands her and that she needs to stay...permanently. Like Jack this leads to her death.

Honestly starting to realize how much the Shining is similar to this lmao.

Agreed, it does make a lot more sense in context.

Makes sense, considering Steven King says that it’s one of his favorite novels.
