However, some critics have suggested that as scary as the external horror is (the house, the poltergeists, etc.), what is really frightening about the text is Eleanor herself. ***
***Are Eleanor’s experiences the result of guilt and/or her own psychological problems, or is she being driven insane by her experiences in the house?
***Be specific in your response, citing examples from the text where appropriate.
